Travel tripod needed for Canon s95

13 years 2 months ago #30936 by ArtWagner
I just made a post about heading to Hawaii next month. I'm only going to take my Canon s95 and want to bring the least amount of stuff with me. What is the smallest and lightest tripod that will work with the s95 that will extend up to 5'+ in height? I'm not looking for a table top tripod.
Thanks!

Tamrac has one that folds up pretty small. I think they call it Zipshot or something like that

I'd go with that Tamrac one, however I wouldn't go trusting it for your full size DSLR

Have you looked at Vanguard, I believe they have kind of small tripods?

I was going to say Manfrotto has a few that would work great for you.
