GVM TRIP-38 Carbon Fiber Video Tripod Reviews

Light and ultra portable

I've been in the market for a travel tripod and this is a good one. It comes with the plate, a ball head and a carrying bag for convenience. It's ultra portable which means you can strap it on your back and not have to worry about the weight. GVM also provided a strap so you have 2 methods of carrying. Fully extended, the tripod goes up to about 5'7. You can hook a small weight at the bottom to secure the tripod. It also comes with spikes for more slippery terrain. The carbon fiber really makes a difference for the weight and overall sturdiness without the bulk.
