I love these little tripods, so much so that I have two of them. The folding leg and locking leg design is a really nice. For saying how small the tripod reduces down when all folded up, it's surprisingly solid when in use. The build quality is excellent, no cheap plastic legs and all the moving parts have a good solid feel to them. Fair enough, you're not going to extend the legs to their full height and stick a DSLR with 200mm lens and expect a 10 second exposure in strong wind to be completely successful. However, when taking a full size tripod on holiday or on a long hike is not an option this is the perfect alternative. Not too heavy to be a pain in the backside but not too light to make is useless for the purpose either.

This is an example of superb design thinking. This is my second Velbon as I own the UT-53 which I have owned for seven years and it has never let me down. I am a professional advertising photographer. In my studio I have a Foba studio stand (look it up), many Manfroto tripods, and Ronford Baker video legs so I do know what I am talking about when I say that the Velbon is a truly professional piece of kit! If you are looking for the finest travel tripod which folds down to only 305mm long and will fit inside a camera bag then this is the only tripod to consider. It is sturdy, light and functional with no downsides! The Peak Design tripod is simply a folly compared to the Velbon.

Initial review:Purchased solely as a travel photography tripod. Really compact. Slightly heavier than I anticipated but OK. Seems very sturdy (for its size) when set up. It goes higher than I need. Seems to be a quality, well-engineered product.I note some other reviewers complained about the "twist to lock" mechanism on the 6-section legs, but I would suggest this is a good feature.My main tripod for birdwatching (and also to a lesser extent photography) is a Velbon 4-section carbon fibre tripod. It is a real hassle having to use the 12 "snap clips" every time I want to erect the tripod, so I reckon that once I get used to the "twist to lock" mechanism on this tripod,

It's a pretty cool tripod. You don't need my to write up everything about it, check You Tube.One thing to say: the twisty-locky thingy mechanism for extending legs is not always perfect. It's inconsistent and makes you look like a blind drunk giraffe in front of anyone around you that you were trying to impress with your "look at me, I'm a pro" tripod.I've also had (and lost) the manfrotto befree tripod, very similar, but it had standard clippy things for the legs. I prefer them, but this tripod packs away smaller.

Bought this travel for my trip to Sri Lanka in March as a friend has one and it is light for putting in my hold luggage. Only used it a couple of times, and once I'd worked out how to use it, it fits the bill nicely. Sturdy enough to take my Nikon d7200 and lenses and light enough to carry.

Used the tripod extensively during my recent trip to Iceland, where it performed very well. I even managed to set it up in almost total darkness in the lava chamber of a dormant volcano! Although it is quite small it is very sturdy and easy to carry in the bag supplied.
