Hi,
I have asked for the Manfrotto Stile Unica VII Messenger Bungee Cord for my birthday. Can anyone recommend a suitable tripod to use with this bag. The folded length specified is 16inches. I am looking for a lightweight tripod my research has come up with the Giottos Vitruvian, Benro Travel Angel, Manfrotto BeFree? Can anyone recommend one of these or another?
Thanks:thumbs:

If you find a tripod that you like but that's a just a bit too long, they can often be shortened if you have the mechanical confidence. It's about shortening each section proportionally. Little may be needed except hacksaw, something abrasive for smoothing the cuts, & a hex-key.
 
I recently purchased a Benro Travel Angel II in carbon. Not exactly cheap but very pleased with it. Comes in its own travel/storage bag. Can be converted into a mono-pod or trekking pole (with compass). All in all a very complete package. It appears to be quite sturdy - has no problems supporting my 1DMkIII + lens which to date has been wide angle only. Has a built in hook for a steady support. The head is also good and locks firmly. Certainly worth a look.
