MeFOTO A0350Q0 Overview

The black MeFoto BackPacker Travel Tripod Kit offers 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. It's color accent extends to the included, matching Q series ball head.

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 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 in the kit, 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 Matched Q Series 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.

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.

question

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.

question

can I clip my Peak Design Capture PRO clip on this tripod?
Asked by: Yanick D.
capture PRO clips to either arca or manfrotto plates, it's the regular capture plate that is arca-only. This tripod has a arca head though so you can attach any PD plate to it no problem
