This compact & portable X-Go Mini Carbon Fiber Portable Professional Tripod from Fotopro is a great choice for photographers on the go. Constructed from eight layers of lightweight carbon fiber, it weighs a mere 1.47 lb and has a load capacity of 17 lb, giving it an excellent weight-to-strength ratio.

Folded for travel, this tripod has a length of just 6.88″ so whether you’re transporting it in the included carry bag or you’ve got it stowed in your carry on, there will still be plenty of room for the rest of your gear.

When it’s time to shoot, use the quick release locking knobs to unfold the legs, and then raise the center column up to a maximum working height of 17.7″. Keeping your camera level is easy with this tripod because you can adjust the angle and extension of each of the three legs independently so that your camera stays parallel to the ground even on challenging, uneven terrain.

The included metal ball head facilitates repositioning the camera in landscape mode or portrait mode, thanks to the built-in 90� notch on the base. Because it has an included arca-type quick release plate with a 1/4″-20 thread mount, you can mount a wide variety of popular cameras and equipment on this tripod.
