I am planning an international trip and have two tripods that I wanted to take with me due to space limitations AND weight. The larger one is light but takes up space and adds weight to a bag that is already close to the weight limit. The shorter one is a good size and fits in my purse but lacks height. Enter Xshot 2.0! The built in adaptive screw mount on the bottom allows me to mount it on my short tripod and a Sony Handycam (about 1lb) on the XShot meaning I don't need to pack a taller tripod at all. PROBLEM SOLVED! I was concerned that the XShot would be too loose to hold the Handycam upright, but the telescope parts are nice and stiff (it feels solid and looks well built). The only caveat is the configuration, it's not as stable as my larger tripod but that's nobody's fault. The Handycam is waterproof, so I can use the XShot with it underwater. I know it's not really designed for that and if it freezes due to salt water or whatever I don't care (especially the price) I'll just buy another one!
