Shameless use of FujiRumors (and your time) for a personal tripod help request
2 weeks ago I travelled for the first time 7 days (through South Italy) without a tripod. I sold mine to a friend (whom I also convinced to purchase a Fujifilm X-T20).
As you can see me here, I sometimes missed my old tripod (even though I had the XF 18-135 with an insane OIS – the other lenses I brought with me where the 35/1.4 and 12 Samyang) . Now I’m looking for a compact and light carbon travel tripod to replace it… recommendations welcome in the comments.
My Top Tripod Criteria:
- No super expensive tripods: I’m a low-budget backpack traveller. So I often travel in cheap trains and busses, sleep in hostel dormitories and so forth. I don’t want to have a $1000 Gitzo tripod in my bag. I’d be afraid to leave my bag alone even to go to the toilet, scared it gets stolen. I’m ready to pay a fair price for a good tripod, but no super expensive options.
- Compact: Damn… so it happens also to me… I’m getting older. And I now appreciate every space and weight I can safe while travelling. So only compact solutions will be considered for my pruchase (and since I travel with a light mirrorless camera and small lenses, it does not have to be the sturdiest tripod on earth).
I read the techradar article I’ve linked above… but it would be great if you would list your favorite light carbon fiber tripod in the comments below.
