Review on Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon - Ultra-Lightweight Travel Tripod (2.16 lb) - Arca Swiss Compatible - Monopod Function - Carbon - Black by Joe Fulce

I just received this tripod and am now very impressed with the Quality , especially for what I paid. Very firm feel, every twist for every button, foot movement, ball head, angle adjustment, everything feels very smooth. The tripod comes with its own pouch and several hex adjustment tools. Accept resistance to the movement of the leg. Additional adjustment as it is not required for tripod setup. The legs have a locking mechanism. When you open them, they have a lock that prevents them from opening again. unless, You press the button on each leg. The leg height adjustment doesn't require much twisting to lock/unlock. A click at the end of the lock would be nice though. For feedback only. The weight is a bit heavy IMO. About 2.5 pounds isn't much, but if you're hiking long distances, that weight will seem a lot more. The maximum weight limit for this tripod is about 11 pounds. It holds my heaviest lens (70-200 F2.8) with no problem. Just remember to tighten your legs or they will start to slip. The maximum weight limit for this tripod is about 11 pounds.
