Travellers tripod
Going to the Philippines in November
Have to get a new tripod that is lightweight but still stable. Due to weightlimits of only 10kg pr person I need a new tripod. And it can't be too long folded either, max 17" or so will do. Any good suggestions? |

Re: Travellers tripod
I love my Feisol CT-3441S w/RRS BH-25. Compact & light for traveling and very stable when extended. Good build quality and price for a CF tripod.

It is light but a little to long when folded. So I was thinking something in that range: $320 w/o the head Thinking of just using my 488RC2 to start with. |

Re: Travellers tripod
You can purchase the Feisol direct from the US importer: http://www.feisol.net/
I bought the 3441S a few months ago and love it. Small and light so I have no reason to not take it with me!! |

Re: Travellers tripod
Since you're in Norway, maybe this site will work better for you to purchase from?

Re: Travellers tripod
$60 will get you a Slik Sprint Mini. You can also go with a Slik Sprint Pro. Both have removable heads so you can install any head you like. I have an Acratech GV2 installed on my mini. The legs are a little short for me, but it works and is incredibly compact.
