Editorial Review: Product Description: The Tourist Series tripods were designed with the traveling photographer or family vacationer in mind. All of the Tourist tripods are small and compact, yet extend to the height of a full-size tripod. You'll love having all of the features of a full-size tripod in a compact version. As a bonus, these tripods are packaged in a luxurious, zippered kote skin carrying case. The Tourist Series tripods are the ideal gift for the traveling photographer. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Decent travel tripodThere isn't much I can add to the top reviews, but there is one feature I'd like to discuss more - the tubular telescoping legs. Many have complained that the legs will not lock unless they are fully extended. This is not 100% accurate. The legs / latch will lock anywhere along the top-most segment IF all the sections below it are fully extended. This gives you about a 6" tolerance, which is useful on uneven ground.

Read More Rating: - Great lightweight travel tripodThis tripod was exactly as advertised: light weight, inexpensive and easy to carry. Rating: - great for the priceConsidering the price, it's a great little tripod. I bought it to take pictures in dimly lit churches and caves in Italy, where I won't have access to an appropriate surface to use a table-top tripod. The tripod serves the purpose for which it was designed - an inexpensive, compact piece of equipment that's good in a pinch. It's probably unsafe in windy conditions and certainly can't be used to hold a camera with a heavy lens, but it wasn't designed for this. One complaint: it's tricky ... Read More Rating:  - not for the professionalit's quite portable and light and can fulfill the needs of a normal user, but with a lot of sacrifices. the locking mechanism of the legs are kinda flimsy, the legs actually locked only when they are fully extended. no level bubble meter. |
