MeFOTO A0350Q0 Overview

The yellow MeFoto BackPacker Travel Tripod is a sturdy, compact aluminum alloy tripod that extends to 51.2", supports up to 8.8 lb, and folds down to just over one foot.

The tripod's legs can be spread independently, with two-position leg angle stops. A spring-loaded hook is located in a recess at the bottom of the center column, allowing you to hang a heavy object from it for additional stability.

The included ball head offers separate head and pan locks, a 360° pan index, and an integral bubble level. An Arca-type quick release plate with a 1/4"-20 camera screw is included along with a durable carrying case with a shoulder strap for storage and transport.

Compact
The tripod legs can be inverted and folded back 180°. At only 12.6" when folded, this travel friendly tripod can fit inside a back pack or suitcase.
Two Position Leg Angle Stops
For an extra measure of flexibility, tripod legs can be independently locked into place at two different angles to enable shooting in cramped quarters, on uneven terrain or at low camera angles.
Rapid Center Column
Uses the same twist-lock system as the legs for fast setup.
Recessed Center Column Hook
A spring loaded recessed hook, located in the bottom of the center column, allows you to hang a heavy object for increased stability.
Quick Twist Rubber Lock Grips with Anti-Rotation Leg System
MeFoto's rubberized locking grips combined with anti-rotation legs enable fast and fumble-free setup plus weather and dust resistance.
Precision Ball Head
Dual-action heavy duty ball head with Arca-type compatible quick release plate.
360 Degree Panning
Accurate panoramas can be easily accomplished using the graduated panning scale for accurate image alignment.
Separate Head and Pan Lock
Individual locking knobs make adjustments easy.
Integral Bubble Level
The bubble level allows you to make accurate adjustments for seamless panoramas.
Carry Case
Each MeFoto tripod comes with its own carrying case for transport and protection.

Fast shipping/solid quality

Tripod exceeded expectations in (almost) every way. Little heavier but likely due to the quality of material. Rather heavier/stronger than lighter/weaker. Overall extremely satisfied with product and services. Tho the weight is my only downfall, I still urban/mountain travel with it w/o issues or discomfort

Fantastic little tripod. Great for getting in and out quickly without dragging along a larger one. Sturdi-Bilt would recommend it highly

This is a wonderful compact tripod , but be realistic. This tripod is meant to hold a tiny camera in low wind situations.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect tripod and this is it. I needed some thing compact, stable, and affordable. This checked off all three categories. While going through the desert I wanted to capture some images in low light and needed a tripod. Thanks again B and H for the awesome deal!.

meets the need for a lightweight tripod

This tripod is very easy to use and is relatively sturdy. It does have a bit more flex than my U212, but at almost a third of the size, I will be much more likely to have it in the field when I need it. It is important not to pull too hard on the last leg section, as it will come out and the plastic stops will pop off ( I was fortunate for find that out in the living room and not out in a snow bank). It was an easy fix, once I found the stops. I have been using it this week to copy slides. The head has held firmly without any drift. Definitely worth the purchase .

It is very good design and quality for your money to buy this lightweight tripod. Ball head is very convenient for mounting my L bracket. Right weight supporting for my Nikon Z5 with 24-200mm lens.

Can this support a Sony a7RII?

Can this support a Sony a7RII?
Asked by: Quae
Yes. As long as the combined weight of the Sony Alpha α7R II Mirrorless Digital Camera and the lens you will use on the camera (along with any other accessories -- flash, battery grip, flash bracket, etc.) weigh less than 8.8 lbs (3.99 kg), then yes, your camera/lens combination would be compatible for use with the MeFOTO BackPacker Travel Tripod.

Hey guys, I have the RRS camera plate on my Sony a7R. Would that fit RRS plate fit this ballhead?
Asked by: Joon
As the Q Series Double Action Ball Head on the MeFOTO BackPacker Travel Tripod (Titanium) is compatible with Arca-Swiss type quick release plates, yes, the Really Right Stuff quick release plate should be compatible for use with the above tripod/ball head setup.

Will this tripod adapt to a pan/tilt head for use with slider? I have a Canon 80D and want to do some home documentary-style video.
Asked by: Anonymous
This tripod is made for travel. I would use a standard tripod whenever possible as this tripod is not build for heavy usage.
