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

I have just received this tripod and I am very impressed with its quality, especially for the money I paid. Corners, everything looks very smooth. The tripod comes with its own pouch and a couple of hex tools to adjust the resistance to leg movement. 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 a 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.
