My Feisol tripods allow the legs to be folded backwards so that the
normally wasted space below the head is filled with the head.
It’s a great feature and takes several inches off the length of the folded
tripod.
The peak design looks cool, and will surely appeal to a number of people,
but for the
I have a first generation benro travel flat tripod that I really quite
like, this is the current product.

Since it folds flat, rather than into the cylindrical shape, it is much
easier to pack in many situations. It is not an ideal daily u
Oh yes: you don’t have to use PD plates. Any good A-S plate will do. There are
plenty with safeties. The RC2 plates are never as stable or secure. Also, you

Befree seems to have a better (more secure) QR-plate design.
And the inability to go vertical on one of the sides is a bit annoying...

Looks like a good Tripod. As a Design Engineer I think one does not need a

Dale, that is a very nice image.
It's been 18 or 19 years since I've been to that area last time.
