Heipi travel tripod quick review

I think it was back in November that on impulse I ordered one of the new Heipi travel tripods off of kickstarter, it was supposed to show up in January. It showed up last week. https://heipivision.com/products/heipi-3-in-1-travel-tripod A few months earlier I had bought a Lefoto LX-255CT

I ended up buying an “open box” Leofoto LX255CT for my “travel tripod”. It arrived yesterday, here is a photo of it next to my regular tripod: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uZq9hfxAd8bb55x17 I was checking the rankings of tripods on https://thecentercolumn.com/ and a similar leofoto had

Admitedly nothing you'd want to take along for air travel (although I've done just that) but it's the only tripod I know that doesn't weight a ton and can be used with long lenses even in gale-force winds.

Re: It looks like we'll have a Peak Designs tripod.

The little Sirui head that came with my T-025x is actually quite good for its price, fine for light to medium weight equipment given the capabilities of the tripod. Not for big DSLR and long lenses, however, but I’ve used it with my Fuji GS645S Wide 60 and Leica CL using a 75mm M lens

Re: It looks like we'll have a Peak Designs tripod.

Godfrey, I wasn't sure: so, you are saying this tripod takes both A-S and RC2 plates natively (i.e. without any adapters), right? That's nice! As for L-plates or other heads, - that's all possible, but that adds wait and complexity, so, that would negate the big advantage of this tripod

Re: It looks like we'll have a Peak Designs tripod.

My Feisol tripods allow the legs to be folded backwards so that the normally wasted space below the head is filled with the head. It’s a great feature and takes several inches off the length of the folded tripod. The peak design looks cool, and will surely appeal to a number of people

I have a first generation benro travel flat tripod that I really quite like, this is the current product. http://www.benrousa.com/travel-series/travel-flat.aspx Since it folds flat, rather than into the cylindrical shape, it is much easier to pack in many situations. It is not an ideal daily

I also thought that it is a clever design. But I agree with the reviewer (link posted by Henk), that Manfrotto's Befree seems to have a better (more secure) QR-plate design. And the inability to go vertical on one of the sides is a bit annoying... But everything else seems to be

It's a $350 travel tripod,  $700 if you want carbon fiber. That's more than twice as expensive as an equivalent Manfrotto BeFree and the carbon fiber BeFree is on sale for $150 less than the Aluminum model.  I never thought that Manfrotto products were inexpensive before. On 5/21/2019 2:23 PM

A few experiences: Oslo - Newark 2004: a Sachtler 75 with a large Foba ballhead. Collapsed legs 80 cm long. SAS allowed it as carryon from Oslo, but not on the return flight. Wrapped the legs together with plastic tape, and it arrived safely in Oslo. Oslo - Forth Worth, Tx, 2007, same tripod

of the tripod. But maybe I am underestimating those... Also, I would be concerned about various plastic knobs on the head. For those, I'd consider wrapping a large-bubble bubble wrap around the head (with a clear packing tape on top and/or rubber bands below the head). This is unrelated
