Fotopro M5 Reviews

Great value for money - if you can find one !

You could do a lot worse than this - anyone looking for a low-level compact tripod for nature or travel photography should check this out. Sturdy aluminium construction with an ***ARCA Swiss*** ball-head rated at 8kg weight handling this is a tad heavy at 0.8kg (1.7lbs) for its size however this reflects its sturdy construction - buy one these now before they are gone they are still being advertised around $AUD140 retail as this model has now been discontinued. Before deciding on which model to buy I did look at the usual options from Manfrotto, Benro, Leofoto, Smallrig, Neewer and others and decided that this one offered the best value for money for the use that I expected to put it to. I may swap the ball-head for a sturdier Benro unit however not until I see how this baby performs "in the field".

Is this the same one Rollei rebranded?

Is this the same one Rollei rebranded?
Asked by: Reuben
Visually they look quite similar but based on the specs I do not think they are the same. We do not sell the Rollei mini tripod so we cannot directly compare it with the Fotopro.
