I just got one today, this tripod is awesome product.
Another excellent video!
Great video. Well done!
Thank you. I just bought one after watching your video. I noticed you also use Olympus gear, good stuff. What is your wrist watch make if I may ask. Looks so cool.
Nice review. Thanks for this!
Sure thing! Thanks!
Very elaborate and excellent demonstration of all features, under 6 minutes. Well done and you have one more subscriber. TU.
Thanks!
@@DesYap Actually the thanks goes to you. Because of your good review I bought it. Mine is in sky blue color, as seen on the paper box cover of yours. Like it very much and is serving the purpose very well for me.
Looks like bento makes a similar style with much better leg adjustments, that top leg adjustment can make or break the system IMO.
This is an amazing tripod!
Yes! I like it just what i need THANKS!!!
Great video man. Well done. I subbed you
Thanks!
What about the roadtrip air, do you know it? Thanks, great video!!!!
Awesome video 👌
How comfortable is it for vlogging?(set up, carrying, etc.) Thanks!
Thanks a lot for this video. I was so convinced to buy it for my run-and-gun video shoots (yeah I know this tripod is more for photo), but the fact that it has just one knob 3:09 that wont allow some sort of free panning I backed out, so i'll stick for a while with my sirui, until another very short tripod - that can pan - is out in the market, from whatever manufacturer.
Ya, it's tough to find something this small with actual video capabilities I have been finding. Still, love this thing!
Just put a different head on it. It's got a standard mounting screw for the head.
There are three "Torx" screws under the head mounting plate. You have to release these.
Wonder if you've seen SIRUI AM-025K. Would be a great comparison imo, it's also only 2lb, but it's made out of carbon, maybe it's a bit more stable.
I wonder if you've seen the new Vanguard Veo 2 Go series. They are legit tripods, but fold down to 12.75 inches and range from 2-2.8 pounds.
Great review!
Thanks!
I’ve had the Mefoto A1350 since ‘15, and, IMHO, it is the best bang for buck travel tripod. MeFoto is made by Benro, so, duh, they’re great. If you have a heavier camera, consider the A1350, ‘cause it’s a rock solid tripod, and not that much heavier than the Backpacker. And it fits in a carry-on bag, too.
Nice review
Do you still use this tripod on the trail? Considering this because it's always a struggle to lug a bigger tripod out on the bike.
Could you provide long term review? How's the tripod doing?
Can you detach the head to substitute it? Thx
is it stable enough for landscapes?
hi! is it possible to remove the ball head and use my own?
Will this work with the peak design plates?
Will my osmo action fit in this tripod
This tripod is no longer being sold anywhere. Discontinued. Can you recommend a replacement?
I know this hasn't anything to do with your video - which is great by the way - but from where are you? Your facial features suggest to me that you are maybe from Kasachstan??
Is there anything that replaced this. It’s not available anymore
Thanks for video, good tripod but a little too cumbersome to adjust leg length, I'm lazy. Lol
Wait you don’t experience it retracting despite thinking it was already locked? I get that all the time, it’s so frustrating!!
Can somebody translate me the fried chicken units of measurement? The video is perfect tho. Thanks
Ha! Thanks!
Very nice review of the MEFOTO BackPackAir tripod, Des! I'd compare it to the Oben CT-3535 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod, which was my "travel" model of choice for my relatively light Fuji X-Pro2 kit, that is, until ...I recently came across a unique and extremely high-quality travel tripod...the FLM "CP26 Travel Tripod". It has super-strong 10x Carbon Fiber legs (26 lb load capacity!) with well-made twist locks, and a ball head that has several unique features that I've not seen in my 35 years of photography using tripods...For example, the "Pan" function permits butter-smooth normal panning, but in addition, adds a 15-degree ratchet function that is fantastic for us landscape/panorama photographers! There is also a "Tilt" knob that locks the ball head so that only one vertical/up/down plane is available. And finally, there is a "lock" function that locks the ball head from panning/turning, so that it can easily be unscrewed and/or mounted solidly. The kit comes with very well-made screw-on metal spikes, and folds up to a compact 15.5" for travel. Quite ingenious and precision design overall, and highly recommended for travel!! Bottom line: This FLM tripod simply exudes Quality. Here's the link to that awesome tripod: www.flmcanada.com. Thanks, and I think you'll find the FLM CP26 Travel Tripod perfect for Panoramic (and all) photography!
Is the tripod head removable ? I want to put a fluid head for video shooting.
Does not appear so. I tried to but couldn't budge it loose.
Mine came with the tripod head separate and I had top screw it on. It is removable. I already swapped it out.
Since it seems this is no longer available, do you have a 2020 recommendation for something just as compact? I thought I had the found the perfect review until I realize the tripod was discontinued lol
Also came to the same realization and was hoping to find something similar.
what I found out is that it is still available...
Where?
i wanted it sooo bad but it was sooo expensive so i had to get the cheaper tycka rangers tripod😫
FYI: the world's shortest travel tripod stands at 1.6m and folds down to 24cm. Velbon UT Super8
Is there an alternative to this. This seems too pricey
I just mine from B&H for $29.99.
Somebody please convert inch to centimeter (cm), we asian not use inch much
When fully extended there is NO WAY that this is stable. Even with the center column halfway up and at that point it’s REALLY SHORT.
James Mason yeah, centre columns are a null point for me. Never use them
Why don't you make anymore videos?? 😭😭😭
Been focusing on my other channel but I have some videos planned for this channel as soon as I cross 100K on the other channel! Thanks!
No disrespect to this vid..I'm in the market for a travel tripod............but don't you think you tube is becoming a bit like a shopping channel these days ? .... tripod looks ok...but I'm drawn more to the compromised manfrotto be free....
_Watching the video, seeing all the specs_
''Yeah, probably gotta cost 300$+ dollar...''

*CRAP!* It's unavaible everywhere! Where can I buy this? Or is there a proper substitute? Would be perfect for my treks
ProtoMarcus I actually found it online at b and h but it isn’t a solid color anymore.
