A Travel Tripod Deal Today
Jan 14, 2019 12:07:41 #
"Travel tripods" are certainly a collection of compromises.
My morning email offered the (normally $120) MeFoto RoadTrip Air Travel Tripod for $40. One day only!
The color choices appear to be a fashion statement, but the price compelled me to buy a red one to keep in our RV for my small and lightweight "travel" cameras, including a "tough" Olympus TG-5. It is red too! Even if the tripod falls over, the camera might survive!
Red travel camera on a red tripod! Nobody will ever think I'm a photographer that knows anything.

I got one "free" from Adorama when I bought my Nikon 200mm to 500mm. It's a cool little tripod, I can see all kinds of uses for it. But it's not going to replace my Slik heavy tripod.

That's quite a deal! I've been looking for one that will easily fit into my briefcase or smaller bag for carryon use. I wonder how accurate the 13 pound rating is?
In any event, I suppose at this price it is worth a shot. If I like it, I suppose I'll have to buy a black one at the original price!

Andy,
I looked. The black and titanium remain at the $120 price. Apparently pink and blue don't sell too well!

Funny. I just came here to let folks know too. Just finished ordering mine in green for the same reason you picked red.
Quite a bargain IMO. Just the thing for my LUMIX LX 100 (fixed zoom lens and less than one pound).

First thing I checked as well. I went for the blue one. I am desperate for a compact tripod, and I think I can live with its limitations. Thanks for sharing the email - it didn't make it past my SPAM filter this morning.

Only the brightly colored ones are on sale. You should be able to go to the normal B&H website and search for "MeFoto RoadTrip Air Travel Tripod". If that doesn't work, try this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1281655-REG/mefoto_rtairred_roadtrip_air_travel_tripod.htmlIs there a link? When I go to the site, I don’t see them at the sale price.
As I post this at 4:15 pm west coast time, there is a little less than five hours remaining in the one day sale.

We may be confused for brothers! I have a LX 100 too! I like small cameras and feel that because they are unobtrusive, I get better images in a lot of cases.

Thank you! I got myself a purple one. It’ll match my hair.

Good idea! I guess I’ll have to give my blue one to my wife and get the full price titanium grey for me!

Bald was not one of the color choices!

Thanks for the heads up. This is a tripod I can take out on my bicycle rides.
