The Traverse TR-553-228 Compact Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head from Davis & Sanford combines a lightweight (2.6 lb) tripod with a ball head that can hold 10 lb, and reach a maximum height of 53". The tripod's legs can be inverted 180° so that the ball head is concealed within the legs, making the folded height only 12" long.
The Arca-type compatible ball head has a locking knob to control the ball movement and a separate locking knob for the panning movement. It sits atop five-section aluminum legs which have twist locks, allowing for quick adjustment to their height. The center column's height is also adjusted by twist locks, and it has a ballast hook on the bottom of the column for extra stability. A padded carrying case is included to protect your tripod during transport.

Better than expected
When the package arrived, I was shocked at how heavy it is. But the tripod comes with a package that is super heavy. After working with the tripod a few times now, I'm super stoked to take it on hikes with me!
Better than expected for the price
The tripod is well built, sturdy and compact. The leg articulation and extension mechanisms feel solid and lock in a positive way. There is no play once fully extended. It works very well with my typical setup (Fuji X-T30 with 16-80mm f4 lens). The ball head and plate attach securely to my camera. Comes with a very nice protective bag. Highly recommended, especially for the very reasonable price. I am not a professional photographer so your mileage may vary.
Strong and light
This tripod is very convenient. It’s strong, it’s light, and there’s many configurations to get my camera right where I want it.
great tool
love it, easy to handle and strong enough
Fits in my bag, works great!
Great tripod, really small, easy to assemble. It is a little heavy but that makes it stabile.
Not bad so far, Quick release is messed up.
Just got the tripod, it's pretty solid, not much to complain about build wise. The main problem I have is the screw threads on the quick release plate are a bit off. One one side they're fine but on the other they slant much, much more. I can't get it onto my camera and I don't want to damage it by trying anymore.
Good
I can't wait to use it! But is 2cm bigger than specs..
Great for travelling
Small, compact, and easily fits into my rolling carry-on luggage which is what I needed to do for an upcoming trip overseas. Tripod seems well-built and its strength is proportionate to its size. I will continue to use my larger and heavier tripod for other photo shooting purposes, but for travel, this product is idea.
