## Description

element Traveler small is the perfect choice for enthusiast photographers looking for an extremely small travel tripod that is reliable, lightweight and easy to carry. a telescopic mechanism extends the column up to a height of 56.3”, making it the perfect compromise between portability and performance. since lightness is a travel tripod must, photographers can rely on the spring-loaded hook located at the bottom of the center column to add additional weight for extra stability when needed. element small is ideal for CSC cameras and easily holds payloads up to 8.8 lbs. The aluminum ball head is engineered to deliver the smoothest movements when framing a desired shot and firmly locks equipment exactly where you need it. if you’re into landscape photography, you’ll love the separate head’s pan lock that allows photographers to take amazing panorama shots easily and precisely thanks to its 360° pan index. the ball head mounts an Arce-type quick release plate with a 1/4''-20 camera screw on top that ensures equipment is balanced when using zoom lenses. weight 40.56 oz. material aluminum safety payload weight 8.82 lbs. min height 14.17 in maximum height 56.3 in maximum height (with center column down) 50.2 in closed length 12.6 in head type ball head legs tube diameter 0.39- 0.51- 0.63- 0.75- 0.87 in leg sections 5 base diameter 1.46 in leg angles 21.5°, 54.5°, 83° top attachment 1/4″ screw ball locking yes bubble spirit level yes friction control no front tilt +90°/-32° independent pan lock yes lateral tilt +32°/-32° leg type single leg lock type twist lock maximum working temperature 140 f minimum working temperature -22 panoramic rotation 360 quick release yes upper disc diameter 1.52 in

Review: Really great tripod that is worth the extra money - This is the perfect travel tripod because it is very small and very light. In addition, the design of this tripod has a lot of really nice features. Pros: - This thing is tiny, you can see the size compared to a 15 inch Macbook Pro. Plus, it's made of carbon fiber so it is very light. - The design of the ball head allows the tripod to fold completely, unlike other tripods that won't close all the way on the top due to the ball head getting in the way. - Very easy to setup, the twist locks make setting this up extremely fast - Adapter under the ball head allows you to have both 1/4-20 and 3/16-24 threads - The pans on the ball head are smooth and I have not noticed any creep of the head - standard bag hook underneath. Cons: - Not a big deal, but you can see that on the arca adapter, there is a screw head sticking up right in the middle. This means that you can't slide your plate on, instead you have to place it. - The feet don't look like they're removable, so you won't be able to use any metal spikes if needed. While it isn't perfect, I think that most people will be buying this understanding the trade offs for size and portability. I would highly recommend this tripod as it is very small and light, while still performing well enough. You are paying for the size and weight, so I think that this tripod is actually a good value even with the relatively high price.
Review: Great tripod for the price, a little heavy. - PROS: Quality fitment, clean lines, good operation of moving parts, free spares and tools included, good tote-bag included, nice and tall, can use as monopod, separate camera and pan screws. CONS: One leg shorter than the rest, a little heavy. REVIEW: Needed a taller tripod to replace my $20 cheapo model. Found this Manfrotto and I am very satisfied. It is clearly a quality product and I feel like I will be using it for the rest of my life (or until I lose it). The operation of the twist locks and leg position locks is clean and easy (though you may need to loosen the leg screws for quicker angle adjustment). The camera foot fits well and is easy to mount. There are two bubble levels for positioning at upright and at 90º angle for the camera. The ball joint works well and I really like the speed of the adjustments for height. This seems best suited for ‘local’ shooting and is a bit too heavy for a back country hike due to the weight, but being aluminum it should stand up for many a year to come. Additionally, it seems that one of the legs is shorter than the rest at the fully extended position. This is easy enough to compensate for, but should have been noticed in QA. SUMMARY: For the price, I don’t think you’ll find a more capable tripod. Fully recommend to anyone who wants something significantly better than the ubiquitous cheap Chinese knockoffs found in the “desertcart Preferred” category.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Manfrotto Element Traveler a good and affordable tripod.
*by G***A on November 13, 2019*

Manfrotto is one of those great tripods. My first impressions, light weight, solid construction, not very stable in some windy conditions or irregular terrains, it shakes a little on those conditions, tightening and shorting the legs may help, I've noticed this with a Nikon D7200 with a 70/300 zoom, with some patience I could take the shots I wanted. You can't expect to use this as a Studio Tripod of $300 or more... It is what it is, an affordable, light, traveller tripod, for taking some pictures or videos that requires a tripod for an optimal result, if you are looking for that then you wouldn't be disappointed. Easy to deploy and easy to store, also it is easy to dissamble one leg to make it a monopod, of course it is something that you can't do constantly, it seems that this feature was thinked only for those cases where with just a monopod were usefull instead of the whole tripod.
