[2] I looked at many tripods in the B&H store, tried many of them and ultimately settled on this one. The features I like about it are:


- Smooth-operating ball head
- Carbon fiber construction
- Twist locks rather than latch
- Sturdy, supports my A7RII with 24-70 2.8 lens very well and could support much more
- Hard rubber feet with a pointed tip on the end avoid having to screw/unscrew rubber covers on metal spiked feet on many other tripods


My only reservation about this tripod would be that can take slightly longer to set it up than I'm used to. There are more steps involved since the way this tripod folds into its most compact form is by the legs folding all the way upward to meet the head of the tripod, which also means that the center column needs to be fully extended to get maximum portability. That being said, you have the option to fold it this way or to fold it the more traditional way, with the legs folding down to meet the center column.


Overall, this is a great tripod and very much worth the cost.

[Carbon Fiber] Before buying this tripod, I wasn't a big tripod user and, when I needed one, used a travel tripod that very much valued portability over stability. After going on a photography tour in which everyone else had a better tripod, I realized I needed to up my game. The MeFOTO Globetrotter is a massive improvement over what I had. The twist locks are big and easy to use with my large hands. The ballhead is easy to adjust, with no drift once everything is tightened. I have not yet had any stability issues, although I have not used it in very windy conditions. It packs up well to go in my checked bag when traveling. I chose the green version so that, when on photography tours, I can easily pick out my tripod from among all the black tripods in the back of a van. I highly recommend this tripod if you're after a decent tripod to take on your travels.

[Ground] I've been using Leofoto products for the past few years and initially I was skeptical about their products but, after purchasing a Mr. Q Tripod and Ballhead I was convinced that they're making quality products at a fraction of the prince of their competitors. This Horizontal tripod arm kit is so elegant but functional. I'm able to attach it to my tripod and able to mount a couple of cameras directly onto the arm or attach some ballheads. I like that you can tilt and swivel in many different angles. If you're in the market for a Tripoms Arm kit, look no further than Leofoto.

[Carbon Fiber] Due to the failure of my E-Image legs I was in the market for a new base. This tripod has a mid-spreader which is nice. Coming from a floor spreader, I wasn't quite sure how I would like the mid-spread, but it works well. Solid construction, not quite at the higher end range of build quality, but definitely acceptable. It was shipped to me in about a week after ordering. I would buy again if I were looking in this price range, but the next tripod we buy will most likely be in the upper range. A good buy.

[Carbon Fiber] Incredible value. Very well made and as smooth on pans and tilts as my Sachtler FSB-8, but holds 14 lbs more and is way, way less expensive than the Sachtler equivalent.

[Carbon Fiber] I would probably buy another one of these but it's a bit heavier than I like. Very strong and sturdy.

[Carbon Fiber] Helps hold the ZWO AM3,

[Carbon Fiber] It goes where monopods are welcome and a tripod stability is best. The design gives me the easy one leg performance also the steadiness of a tripod. This is the support I need. With the included case it is convenient and lightweight. I am pleased with this purchase. You should see it yourself.

[Ground] I have several MeFoto tripods(Roadtrip, Globetrotter Air, Backpacker) this is my favorite, I use it for travel, maybe not as small or lighter then some others, but I know this is going to do the job, It's sturdy enough for a DSLR or mirrorless set up with a long lens.

[Carbon Fiber] Acebil: amazing, lightweight legs at a breakthrough price. Tripod heads, not so hot. Sachtler: amazing, smooth heads that will last forever, legs WAY overpriced. Solution: Sachtler 100mm hear + Acebil 100mm legs = perfect tripod.
