Giottos MT8240B Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod
£149.95

Save £15, Was £164.95. A combination of carbon fibre, smaller diameter tubing and a twist leg lock system means the Giottos MT 8240B 4-Section Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod weighs in at only 1kg making it an ideal travel option where space and weight is at a premium. Restrictions on the amount and size of luggage that can be carried when travelling - particularly by air - mean that many photographers find themselves in a dilemma about which equipment they take with them. Unfortunately, due to their sometimes bulky nature, tripods often end up being left at home. Giotto’s range of travel tripods meet the needs of any travelling photographer. All Giottos tripods carry a 5 year warranty.  More

Comments about Giottos MT8240B Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod:

I used this for travel and carried it in my rucksack for 15 days. With head it was only 2Kgs and was perfect for airline weight restrictions. Smooth movements and locks tight. Bit flimsy at full stretch but a great tripod if you move around a lot.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Giottos MT8240B Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod:

    This tripod is as stable as you're going to get for something that weighs only 1kg. I wouldn't recommend it on a windy day. Beautifully constructed and well engineered, it's got a professional feel, but it's small enough to fling on your back and you'll hardly notice the weight.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
