To calculate this, add up the weight of everything you will place on the tripod, which may include: The camera, a lens and camera accessories like an intervalometer/remote shutter release, flash, filter, or a star tracker mount. Whilst it's not the smallest or lightest travel tripod out there, we think it's great value for the quality you get. It has an unusual configuration whereby you pull the tripod legs back through 180 degrees to meet the ball head on the extended center column to fold it down.

The Leo 2 is not the smallest travel tripod you can get, and not the cheapest, but its ratio of folded length to maximum height, combined with its all-around versatility, make it one of the best. Aluminum Alloy - This mini tripod is made of 100% aluminum alloy, including the ball head, center column, joint, legs all are aluminum alloy. Bubble levels are fitted to the tripod platform for easy leveling, and interchangeable rubber feet and spikes are supplied, along with a padded soft case. We check the ease of use, smoothness and precision of all available adjustments in each set of tripod legs and heads.The attention to detail is excellent, with nice little features such as the specially designed matte silver aluminum Center Ball Head and the leather strap adding to the discerning feel.

It reaches a maximum height of 65-inches with the central column and folds down to a compact collapsed length of 16. This means it fits easily away in luggage or camera bags, but it comes with its own soft padded case with a waterproof zip and carry handles as well. The upshot is that it doesn’t fold down particularly small, but is relatively quick and easy to set up. It's more expensive than most tabletop tripods but it does so much more – so we think it's worth it.It can also be converted into a monopod or selfie stick, making it a solid choice for vloggers and social media content creators who use smartphones.

It has a detachable monopod leg which can also be used as a microphone or camera boom, a Tri-Mount system for adding accessories, and an innovative two-section center column. It folds down to just 35cm in length but opens out to offer a maximum height of 146cm and a huge payload capacity of 30kg. You can substitute the feet to make low-level or tabletop tripods, or you can remove the legs entirely to make a monopod or selfie stick.The 6-in-1 billing of the Benro MeFoto RoadTrip Pro could fool you into thinking that it's all about versatility, but it's also a very good travel tripod. A tripod's maximum payload is the maximum weight a tripod is designed to hold rock steady when taking photographs or video footage. Being lightweight is important: This tripod weighs less than 2 lbs but still has a maximum payload of 6. But the main advantage of carbon fiber is that it’s more lightweight than aluminum, giving it a clear advantage when you’re trying to shed weight. The vast majority have legs that swing upwards for storage, so that the head is encircled by the feet.

Whilst this was incredibly stable for long hours when shooting star trails, we can't help but feel that a tool-free D-ring plate would have been easier.

Factor in the super-sturdy center column – complete with a locking mechanism – and this travel tripod has an excellent ability to remain solid and steady. To check overall stability, we shoot with a range of camera bodies fitted with wide-angle, standard, telephoto and macro lenses. The Benro Rhino FRHN05CVX20 is the smallest of Benro’s four new Rhino travel tripods, but we found that it’s remarkably stiff for such a compact tripod – and Benro’s new VX ball heads and their secondary pan axis just under the camera plate are a triumph. Some tripods are supplied with both rubber pads and metal spikes, so you can swap between them as needed. You can get an optional smartphone clamp but its ball head fits directly into regular camera tripod sockets, and it can support compact cameras and small DSLRs, and mirrorless models.
