Quoting mike wilson <[email protected]>:
My first (and, so far, only) thought is that "especially made for travel and mobility" negates any value it might have as a stable base for photography.
True enough. I recently bought a Manfrotto 393H as a travel tripod. It fits on my camera backpack and is compact and convenient.
It's better than hand holding for longer exposures, especially if the camera bag is hung off it, but it's never going to be my first choice for normal use.
