The black colored MeFoto RoadTrip Travel Tripod offers a sturdy, compact aluminum alloy tripod that extends to 156,5 cm; supports up to 8 kg, and folds down to just over 39,1. The RoadTrip is actually two camera supports in one. A foam-cushioned, removable leg attaches to the center column to convert to full size monopod. The tripod also folds down to a quarter of its extended size, making it small enough to fit your carry-on, shoulder bag, or backpack. The tripod's legs can be spread independently, with two-position leg angle stops. A spring-loaded hook is located in a recess at the bottom of the center column, allowing you to hang a heavy object from it for additional stability. The ball head offers separate head and pan locks, a 360° pan index, and an integral bubble level.
