SIRUI T-005SK Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with B-00K Ball Head - Compact & Lightweight Camera Tripod for DSLR, Mirrorless, Vlogging, Photography | Perfect for Travel, Hiking, Outdoor Adventures

I really love this tripod + ball head. It is compact and lightweight. Using one hand, I can untwist the leg extensions quickly and easily in one motion per leg. When packed up, the legs are reversible which shortens the overall stow-away length by a couple of inches. This reversibility allows me to shoot on uneven surfaces & from above with limited or no visible leg interference. Each leg can be unfolded & clicked into pre-set notches, which keeps the legs from splaying out to a wider stance. However, at the highest setting, the stance is rather narrow & the notch only works one way. This means that a narrow stance doesn't have any resistance from folding together, only resistance keeping them from splaying further apart. A backpack or weight can be hung from a retractable hook underneath the main stem to counter this tendency if needed. I haven't had any issues with it so far. Seems very well built & fairly sturdy for a travel tripod. Easily fits a small/mid-sized backpack. The metal B-00K ball head is a little heavy for its size, but being metal it moves smoothly and locks into place well. This extra weight isn't a detractor as the carbon fiber legs are already super light. I'm very happy with my purchase.
