The MeFoto RoadTrip Classic Series 1 Tripod with Monopod and Ball Head Kit from Benro offers a sturdy, compact aluminium alloy tripod that extends to 156.5cm, supports up to 8kg, and folds down to a compact 39.1cm for easy storage or travel. The RoadTrip is actually two camera supports in one. A foam-cushioned, removable leg attaches to the centre column to convert to full featured 161cm tall monopod.

The tripod’s legs can be spread independently, with two-position leg angle stops. A spring-loaded ballast hook is located in a recess at the bottom of the centre column, allowing a heavy object to hang from it for additional stability.

The Q12 triple-action ball head offers separate head and pan locks, a 360° pan index, and an integral bubble level. An Arca-type-compatible quick release plate with a 1/4″-20 camera screw is included in the kit, along with a durable carry case with a shoulder strap for storage and transport.
