But more importantly, I often don't want to advertise that I am carrying a SLR by strapping a tripod to my bag or carrying it in my hand. I was looking for a small, lightweight tripod that could be easily stowed in a small backpack. I have found that the Manfrotto 785 works really well for my needs. I use a Canon 40D, typically with a 28-105 lens on the front. from Amazon.com This is the most versitile, strongest and lightest tripod out there. I searched everywhere and used many tripods before the Manfrotto 785. Look no more!Perfect. from Amazon.com The weight of the tripod itself is quite light, though my old cheeply-flimsy plastic tripod weigh less (but with less stability when stands)... It looks professionally and the price is unbeatalbe at Amazon.com. The only con about this tripod is that it doesn't come with any bag, and the Bogen/Manfrotto original bag for tripod costs more than this tripod itself. (This is why I gave it only 4 stars rating) Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase, and will definitely recommend everybody to invest in this product. from Amazon.com As a professional photographer and videographer, I am the owner of several Bogen tripods, including heavy duty ones for large video cameras. This little guy really rocks! from Amazon.com i do a lot of hiking and photography on uneven ground. from Adorama.com the middle shaft is threaded a few inches below the head which made its transport on the airplane in my backpack even easier. from Adorama.com dont buy this tripod if you are planning to use it w some heavy slr camera. from Amazon.com even though the manufacturer suggests not using this tripod for slrs, i have no problems using it with my cannon digital rebel slr, even with the 70-300mm telephoto. from Amazon.com but more importantly, i often don't want to advertise that i am carrying a slr by strapping a tripod to my bag or carrying it in my hand. from Amazon.com now it's a perfect travel tripod for both small cameras and small camcorders. from Amazon.com
