I'm not a huge fan of ultra-light travel tripods. As compact as they are, they often lack the stability required for anything beyond casual use.

This one feels just right. At $800, though, you have a fairly high price of admission.

Flagship cameras always get the biggest fanfare but it’s often the model that sits right below that gets the most play.
