Small travel tripod needed for under $175?

10 years 6 months ago #293195 by tCampbell
I need something that will fit in back pack and with ball head cost less than $175. This will be lightly used, so don't want to invest all that much into this tripod. I have an Induro CT313 for my main one already.

Mefoto tripods might be the answer. I've got a hankering for one myself. They look sturdy, come in colors and some can even convert to a monopod.

There are several options including the Benro here. Watch the load capacity depending on what gear you will be putting on it.
