Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 055 aluminium 3-section photo tripod, with horizontal column

The MeFOTO RoadTrip Pro Aluminium Series 1 Travel Tripod with Ball Head and Monopod from Benro is a unique tripod that offers a range of configurations to cover every camera support need when on the move. Weighing only 1.64kg, but with a load capacity of 8kg, this tripod supports everything from compact and mirrorless cameras, up to a full DSLR with zoom lens. The 5 section legs provide a maximum height of 157cm and a reverse-fold length of just 39cm, it is small enough to store or carry just about anywhere. The durable metal twist locks combined with anti-rotation legs allow for a fast and fumble-free setup, plus weather and dust resistance.

Easily convert this tripod to a monopod by removing the centre column and the padded leg, for added versatility when a full tripod is too bulky or slow. The adjustable two-section centre column can also be reversed for inverted low-to-the-ground shots. Located within the centre column is an internal small leg set which can be used in conjunction with the centre column, leg, and head to create multiple configurations. By attaching the head directly to the small leg set it can be used as a tabletop tripod for live streaming, virtual meetings, video chatting or weblogs.

The included Q-series triple-action ball head contains separate adjustments for pan and ball lock as well as an additional pan lock on the QR plate for even more accurate panoramic shooting. It includes an innovative PMM70 convertible phone holder QR plate, to easily switch from camera to phone in a snap, without changing heads or plates. The Arca-type compatible convertible plate mounts in portrait or landscape orientation, allowing quick and easy photography and social content capture in the same setup.

The small yet mighty Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fibre Three Series Tripod from Benro is a compact, lightweight travel tripod with a high load capacity and remarkable stability. The centre column-free design makes it nimble and lightweight for travel and reduces the potential for shake common to high centre column positioning. This is especially significant when shooting video content. The legs offer independent spread and three locking positions and incorporate automatic leg angle adjustment for fast and sure setup. The aluminium leg spider features a 1/4″-20 accessory mounts for extension arms, monitors, lights, and more. The rubber feet feature three distinct contact surface providing a grip whether the legs are vertical, on an angle, or nearly horizontal when positioned.
