The highly durable

Very good/reliable travel tripod. I switched from the MeFOTO RoadTrip to the MeFOTO Globetrotter and while it's not much bigger the whole tripod is more solidly built. Here are the pros and cons: PROS - Higher build quality than RoadTrip - Larger ball head for larger cameras - Very smooth and stable ball head - Slightly taller than RoadTrip - Stronger legs - Secure leg locking mechanisms - Compact design - Comes with a carry case. Supplied with attachable spikes. minuses. Heavy for its overall…

  • MeFOTO GlobeTrotter Tripod is a compact travel camera tripod that folds into a monopod. Together with the MeFOTO SideKick tripod mount for iPhone (not included), the GlobeTrotter is the perfect choice. Available in multiple colors.

The Dolica was surprisingly light, about 2

I have a Nikon D3300. I also had a Dolica Proline 57" tripod. The Dolica was surprisingly light at around 2.5 pounds and held my camera and the included 50-200mm lens well. It was estimated at 13 pounds. When I bought a new Tamron 70-300mm VC lens, Dolica couldn't hold the mount anymore.

Pros
  • Accessory mount - 1/4"-20 mount on the shoulder for attaching additional accessories.
Cons
  • Doubt

I love the thoughtful design of this tripod. It's small enough to fit in my medium sized backpack. I keep it in my carry case when not in use and it's not that difficult to set up. I have the carbon fiber version and the weight isn't as light as many would like, but it's a full-size tripod that converts into a fairly compact form factor. I'm sure two shorter versions would have reduced the size significantly, but I don't mind carrying the GlobeTrotter with me on long trips. Forward weight…

Pros
  • Arca-Swiss style camera platform - This camera platform will work with most other Arca-Swiss style heads.
Cons
  • Legacy
