Hi Everyone:
I saw this new tripod on amazon: especially made for travel and mobility.
If you click to the images page, there's a video showing the tripod "in
action." Any thoughts?
It's amazingly compact and can sustain up to 8.5 pounds.

Hi Christine,
Others here will have more to offer on the subject, I'm sure, but this
one was recommended to me by an instructor at New England School of
Photography a few years ago...

Forgot to include: All up weight of the 190CXPro3 with Markins Q3 head fitted
is about 3 lbs 3 oz.
Price when I bought it was about 2.5x the BeFree setup ... which yet again
reinforces that you only get two out of three: sturdy, light, inexpensive. Pick
any two and you're fine. ;-)

My first (and, so far, only) thought is that "especially made for

True enough. I recently bought a Manfrotto 393H as a travel tripod.
It fits on my camera backpack and is compact a

Courtesy of eBay, I have a new/used tripod in the mail on the way to me. a
Manfrotto 055CX3 Carbon Fiber 3 Section Tripod which IIRC was highly
recommended by Paul Stenquist a month or two ago. Others which looked
attractive to me (eBay auctions ending within the next hour, but similar

Thanks, Steve. Are the leg clasps easy to pull open for height adjustment?
The price for this one is very attractive, but I need clasps that are fairly
easy to open and close. I have a cheap tripod and among other problems, the
clasps are a pain to manipulate. I like the weight on the Induro
Hi Christine: I've made a pledge not to buy another Calumet tripod. I bought
one, and 8 months later it broke. I still use it for some things, but I hate
taking it out in the field. I think a basic Calumet tripod is fine for a
studio, but not for out in the universe. :-)
Cheers, Christine
Thanks, Aahz. Cheers, Christine

Big thanks, Godfrey. This Mano 190CXPro3 looks really attractive. I love the
horizontal capability of the center column as your photos show. How are the
leg clasps? Easy to manipulate?
I just may save up for this one. It looks sleek, uncomplicated. Am I right
about that? :-)

the one you post here. I note the irony as well. Big thanks, Christine

I need to get to a camera store to check out the suggestions you and Godfrey
made, which I'll try to do next weekend. Both look really nice. Thanks Stan.

Yes, the leg clamps are fast and easy to operate, very secure. It gives up an
inch or two in collapsed length compared to the 4-section model, but it's
sturdier and a about two inches taller, and a touch lighter. Lots of trade-off

I travelled round Ethiopia, Zanzibar, South Africa, Romania and India with an

Custom SLR has recently started carrying fotopro tripods
(made by the same folks who make induro).
These have arca-swiss compatible heads
