Suggetions for the best Travel Tripod

[Lance B]

Little bit late on this thread, but having just returned from a 4 week trip to Europe and the UK I thought I would have some valuable input. I took a Sirui T-1204X + K-10X Carbo Fibre tripod & ballhead bundled kit and I can't express highly enough how good it was and build quality is exemplary. This small light tripod, only 1.32kg!! complete with head, took the weight of my D800E and 24-70/16-35 lenses for my night shots, photos of up to 30 secs with no vibration issues whatsoever. It fitted into my check in luggage across the bottom of the suitcase taking up minimum of room. 400mm folded length and 425mm folded length with head. I purchased it at Mainline Photographics in Crows Nest Sydney. Again, I cannot recommend this little tripod highly enough.
