The Manfrotto 7322YSHB Tripod is the most compact of their "M-Y" series, meant as a first time tripod buyer's choice. This travel specialist weighs in at only 2¼ lbs and can be carried on an airplane, in a briefcase. The attached ballhead is simple to operate, and with 22mm diameter maximum leg segments and a compact head the 7322YSHB is meant for use with point and shoot cameras or the very smallest of consumer SLR camera systems.
