It might be tempting to take a look at the firm\u2019s rainbow displays and dismiss them as gimmicky, but this would miss the point. MeFoto is a subsidiary of Benro and aims its products at a younger market, without compromising on quality.<\/p>\n<p>Aimed at users of smartphones and lightweight cameras, the aluminium Backpacker Air is MeFoto\u2019s smallest-folding model yet. This is due to its five-section HyperLock legs, which can be extended or collapsed with a single twist of each foot. The same mechanism is used in the removable centre column, which can be detached to form a selfie stick. Clip on your smartphone using the supplied clamp mount and trigger its camera using the included Bluetooth remote.<\/p>\n<p>Each leg can be set to one of three angles, and the centre column can be inverted for low-level shooting, although as always this is rather awkward. The smoothly adjusting ball head can\u2019t be removed, and has a single lock for its ball joint and panoramic base. Potential buyers should note that MeFoto\u2019s specified 151cm maximum height is with the telescopic centre column fully extended, at which point it\u2019s distinctly wobbly. It\u2019s much more stable if kept retracted, giving a more realistic height of 110cm.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title sub-heading\">MeFoto Backpacker Air tripod &#8211; Specifications<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Closed length: <\/strong>26.5cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max height:<\/strong> 151.1cm<br \/>\n<strong>Leg-only height:<\/strong>\u00a095cm<br \/>\n<strong>Min height:<\/strong>\u00a028.4cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max load: <\/strong>4kg<br \/>\n<strong>Weight:<\/strong>\u00a00.09kg<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a3100<br \/>\n<strong>Leg lock type:<\/strong>\u00a0HyperLock<br \/>\n<strong>Leg sections: <\/strong>5<br \/>\n<strong>Head:<\/strong>\u00a0Fixed<br \/>\n<strong>QR plate:<\/strong> Arca Swiss<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-41799 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg\" alt=\"Sirui-T-005X\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg?resize=300,211 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg?resize=568,400 568w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg?resize=900,634 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Sirui-T-005X.jpg?resize=562,396 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2>Sirui T-005X<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a390<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sirui.eu\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\">www.sirui.eu\/en\/home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Sirui T-005X is the smallest tripod in the group when folded, thanks to five-section legs, a two-section column and a slimline head. However, the T-005X extends to 139cm, helped by rather narrowly angled legs and a long centre column. Unfortunately, these features make it a little wobbly, and it\u2019s noticeably more stable with the second column section retracted, giving a 124cm height. The centre column can be unscrewed completely, and the head platform attached directly to the legs for low-angle shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The tripod is very quick to set up, with clever sprung-angle selectors and twist leg locks that can be undone all at once. The removable C-10X ball head is particularly good, with a separate pan lock,<br \/>\nand a small quick-release clamp that accepts Arca Swiss-type plates. Rather than a weight hook, the T-005X has a carabiner, which allows it to be clipped to a bag or belt for carrying.<\/p>\n<p>To top it off, the build quality and finish are superb. Indeed, the biggest letdown is a rather basic draw-cord carry-case. If you want a very portable high-quality tripod, particularly for a small DSLR or compact system camera, the Sirui T-005X is difficult to beat.<\/p>\n<h3>Score: 4.5 out of 5<\/h3>\n<h3>Sirui T-005X &#8211; Specifications<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Closed length: <\/strong>32.5cm<br \/>\n<strong> Max height:<\/strong> 139cm<br \/>\n<strong>Leg-only height:<\/strong> 105cm<br \/>\n<strong>Min height:<\/strong> 19cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max load: <\/strong>4kg<br \/>\n<strong> Weight:<\/strong> 1.02kg<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a390<br \/>\n<strong>Leg lock type:<\/strong> Twist<br \/>\n<strong>Leg sections: <\/strong>5<br \/>\n<strong> Head:<\/strong> Removable<br \/>\n<strong>QR plate:<\/strong> Arca Swiss<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-80665 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Benro-tripod-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"Benro Travel tripod\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title sub-heading\">Benro TMA28A Series 2 Mach3 Aluminium tripod<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row author-share-wrapper\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px\">Price:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px\"> \u00a3119<\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benroeu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.benroeu.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, the legs are constructed of strong, lightweight aluminium. The spider and upper leg locks are made of durable magnesium alloy. It weighs 1.76kg, making it the heaviest options here. Benro quotes an impressive maximum payload of 14kg. Packed down, the tripod measures 52.5cm. That\u2019s reasonable, especially when you consider its maximum height is 155.5cm at full extension.<\/p>\n<p>With some tripods, the leg locks can be easily broken. Twist-lock legs are often reliable, though, and the Benro TMA28A\u2019s appear to be very good. They\u2019re rubberised and easy to twist open and closed. They also boast a feature that stops particles jamming them.<\/p>\n<p>The leg angle locks have three positions in which the tripod can be spread out. The last is very wide, making it well suited for uneven locations such as a rocky beach. While the centre column can be turned upside down for low-level shooting, there is an additional small centre column that comes inside the tripod bag. For ground-level shooting.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the lightest or most compact tripod, but it holds the middle ground in practically all areas, making it a solid all-rounder. It\u2019s steady, well made, has lots of extras as standard and does more or less everything an enthusiast photographer could ask of a tripod \u2013 all at a very affordable price.<\/p>\n<h3>Score: 5 out of 5<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title sub-heading\">Benro TMA28A Series 2 Mach3 &#8211; Specifications<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Closed length:<\/strong> 39.5cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max height:<\/strong> 155.5cm<br \/>\n<strong>Leg-only height:<\/strong> 135.5cm<br \/>\n<strong>Min height:<\/strong>\u00a052.5cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max load:<\/strong>\u00a014kg<br \/>\n<strong>Weight:<\/strong> 1.26kg<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a3119<br \/>\n<strong>Leg lock type:<\/strong>\u00a0Twist<br \/>\n<strong>Leg sections:<\/strong>\u00a03<br \/>\n<strong>Head:<\/strong> Removable<br \/>\n<strong>QR plate:<\/strong> Arca Swiss<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-41801 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg\" alt=\"Camlink Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod TPCARB2500\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg?resize=300,194 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg?resize=618,400 618w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg?resize=900,583 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/Camlink-Carbon-Fibre-Tripod-1.4m-CL-TPCARB2500.jpg?resize=562,364 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2>Camlink Carbon Fibre Tripod 1.4m CL-TPCARB2500<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a390<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.camlink.photo\/en_us\" target=\"_blank\">www.camlink.photo\/en_us<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like Amazon (right), CamLink is offering a carbon-fibre tripod at a very low price. In this case, it\u2019s<br \/>\na four-section model with a one-piece column. While the CL-TPCARB2500 is not very tall, the manufacturer\u2019s specifications claim the highest load rating in this group of 6kg. The centre column can be inverted for low-level work, and the removable head has a separate pan lock. There are even two spirit levels.<\/p>\n<p>The low price comes from the extensive use of plastics where other tripods employ metal, including the central \u2018spider\u2019 and the twist leg locks. The chunky ball head uses a proprietary quick-release plate, and its large platform stops the legs from folding back fully. The small press-in leg-angle locks are a bit fiddly, too.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, with an enthusiast DSLR on top, the tripod simply isn\u2019t very stable, even with the centre column retracted. The head is the main culprit, and the legs do much better when used with a different one. This model offers good value, but you\u2019ll really need to use a more solid head to get the best results.<\/p>\n<h3>Score: 3 out of 5<\/h3>\n<h3>Camlink Carbon Fibre Tripod 1.4m CL-TPCARB2500 &#8211; Specifications<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Closed length:<\/strong> 39cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max height:<\/strong> 134cm<br \/>\n<strong>Leg-only height:<\/strong> 117cm<br \/>\n<strong>Min height:<\/strong> 37cm<br \/>\n<strong>Max load:<\/strong> 6kg<br \/>\n<strong>Weight:<\/strong> 1.26kg<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a3100<br \/>\n<strong>Leg lock type:<\/strong> Twist<br \/>\n<strong>Leg sections:<\/strong> 4<br \/>\n<strong>Head:<\/strong> Removable<br \/>\n<strong>QR plate:<\/strong> Proprietary<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-41800 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg\" alt=\"AmazonBasics Lightweight Travel Tripod 52 inches\" width=\"1024\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg?resize=515,400 515w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg?resize=900,700 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/01\/AmazonBasics-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-52-inches.jpg?resize=562,437 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2>AmazonBasics Lightweight Travel Tripod 52 inches<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a355<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">www.amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The AmazonBasics Lightweight Travel Tripod 52 inches is probably the cheapest carbon-fibre tripod on the market, which presumably has a lot to do with the buying power of one of the world\u2019s largest retailers. In terms of size and design, the AmazonBasics is pretty similar to the Sirui T-005X, with five-section legs and a two-section column, coupled with a removable ball head that has a separate pan lock. The column can be removed completely for low-level shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, plenty of corners have been cut to achieve such a low price. The fit and finish are quite basic, and the bundled head isn\u2019t great, as it tilts the camera when it\u2019s locked. The quick-release clamp looks like it should be Arca Swiss-compatible, but it isn\u2019t. However, where it counts, the tripod does hold the camera pretty stable, although it works best with the second column section down.<\/p>\n<p>The Amazon tripod is incredible value, although I\u2019d advise buyers to check it over carefully when<br \/>\nit arrives, and be prepared to return it if necessary.
