    Compact tripod that is great for travel

    Compact tripod that is great for travel
    This is a really well made tripod! Its mostly aluminum with a few plastic parts. Its not the most light weight tripod at a little over 4lb but its compactness helps. It comes with a carrying case with some padding built in. It has liquid movement for rotation and up and down tilt, which makes the moment so smooth.Pros:- Compact- Well balanced once set up- Liquid movement ( tilt and turn only) is sooo smooth!- Removable head ( the real reason is cost soo much )- Rubber feet grip well- locking feetCons:- Cost- No color options- just large enough so it will not fit in the drink pocket on most backpacks
