I'm looking for a travel tripod that fold down to less than 17" with a maximum height of AT LEAST 51" (would prefer 57 or more)
***Doesn't need to support more than a couple pounds...
Must be in fairly good used condition
Something similar to a Mefoto, Benro, Sirui or Giotto or an Oben
Willing to pay up to $100 including shipping... (if it's carbon fiber I might consider paying more)
I'm just looking for something to have in the back of the car for a "just in case" photo opportunity
If you've got a tripod gathering dust let me know...

Thank you for that info... I've been contemplating something similar to the Amazon tripod... It's the same size and max weight specs(I only need a couple pounds in my case) BUT this one is aluminum and the Amazon is carbon. Oh sorry, the D&S is one inch taller (again w/ ball head or w/out?)
I'm trying to determine if the max height of both is with or without the ball head since the ball head is included... Any ideas?
See what you think... I don't care much for the ball head I have a Giottos BH1001 that I use
Kinda weird though that the carbon fiber is the same weight. I have a Manfrotto 190cxpro4 that I love.. Can't imagine if it was aluminum how heavy it would be with the ball head...

All I can say....is try it. If you don't like it...return it. I like mine. Bare in mind, that is what it is intended to be. $ vs. weight, size, strength,...."I really like this little Tripod.
End of story! Thanks, Boone. 8-) :thumbup: 8-)
