Hi, Thanks for this amazing piece of product. Last morning I was trying to find out which tripod is the best lightweight tripod that I should go for. Your article was very useful in this regard.

Hi, I think you are making a mistake of one order of magnitude in your weight difference calculation.
For example, the weight difference of the two peak design tripod is 290 g, not 29 g.
If it was only 29g, the carbon would not be worth it at all. 😊

In reply to Lala. Ah yes, paralysis of decision! I know it well, Lala... Why not just go for my number one recommendation, or the second option on the list (which is slightly cheaper)?

I started to learn about photography recently, but mostly by myself with the help of the internet. And I’m looking to buy a tripod for it. But until now I have no idea which type I should take on. Because everything looks good nowadays. I might buy the small and the big one, as I wanted to try vlogging and even take photography more seriously. I really want to think before investing money on them, because I have a problem with budgeting sometimes especially when everything seems like a good item to invest in.

Sirui T025X. Only 752grams and folds to 30.5cm. Max height 1.3m. Great for mirrorless. I’ve been using it for couple years now and its always with me everyday.

In reply to Roland Tremblay. Hey Roland! What is your camera/lens? It looks like an ok tripod, but depends on what weight you attach to it.

Hey Mark,

What would be your thoughts on this tripod? My friend told me to give it a try but I’m not sure if it would be good from my small camera (the camera is pretty light).

Thanks in advance

In reply to Robert Virgin. Hey Robert - when you say it dropped off, did you loosen the leg to the point where it came off? All tripods listed here will behave in the same way if you keep twisting and twisting a leg. I can reach out to Zomei on your behalf, but it depends on the circumstances surrounding the incident.

After reading the travel tripod reviews I purchased a ZOMEI Z699C tripod for my travels. On the first trip the bottom section of one leg dropped off. It rolled off a jetty and was lost in the sea so I couldn’t recover it. Zomei is not responding to my emails concerning either a warranty claim or the supply of a replacement leg for a repair.
