from www.amazon.com
these are great gifts for people who travel or have kids and don't want to use a large, bulky tripod (that could get knocked over easiely!) i highly recommend this product.
from www.amazon.com
the flexible tripod was a gift,the party that recieved it says it is just what the needed for when they go (tent)camping.they have to travel light and this is just great.
from www.amazon.com
my boyfriend and i would try to set up our camera on a rock or tree with his little travel tripod, but with it's stiff legs it would wobble and was hard to set up right.
from www.amazon.com
this item is convenient for travel...though the piece that attaches to the camera snags on my camera case...so i just keep it attached to the tripod itself....until i need it.
from www.amazon.com
the tripod is also very light weight which makes it ideal for travel.

Gitzo GT1540

$533.00 Est. at Amazon

from "hfng", www.bhphotovideo.com
i love the g lock which doesn't exist on the previous version of the gitzo traveller tripod.
from www.amazon.com
it is very compact when closed (about 17") and weighs (with the gitzo g1278m head) about 3 pounds, which is great when i travel.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted a tripod that was small and light so i could travel with carry on luggage only, recognizing that stability would have to be sacrificed.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this gitzo for when i really need to travel light (i own the gt3541xls as well for when i need a sturdier tripod).
from www.amazon.com
i got the 1541t (with a lightweight really right stuff head) for travelling light with hand luggage only.

Manfrotto 055XB

$163.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Phil", www1.wolfcamera.com
while not suited for extended travel of trecking it is ideal for most applications.
from www.amazon.com
if you're going to travel with this tripod, be aware that it's too tall to fit into your carry-on luggage (even with the head removed).
from www.amazon.com
overall this is an excellent tripod, it stood up well to daily travel and hiking and survived the occasional scrape against a rock without any visual scratches or dents.
from www.amazon.com
not sure it's a travel tripod but with a tripod bag it's easy to carry around.
from www.amazon.com
i don't think i will be using it for overseas travel because of the size and weight but i might give it a try.

from www.amazon.com
don't be foolish and attach anything bigger than a compact camera, or a camera that was designed for travel (i experimented).
