    As I started packing my Nikon P510 along with the D300 it became obvious I did not need to lug a 3 to 4 Lbs. tripod all by itself. There is a time for best quality dam the weight, and as good as possible for light. Incidentally, after three weeks in French Polynesia, the Nikon P 510 photos have nothing to envy to the D 300's. And so much easier to carry around. The lightweight tripod deserves a place in anyone's travel bag.

    Bought this for a two week train trip. Small enough to stow in my backpack but full sized. Not for too heavy cameras.

    I had my camera sitting at the base of my monitor. When the individual who was helping me told me he had tripods I went and looked and this one was well built and affordable. My Logitech works well with it and the tripod is sturdy and allows for movement in other directions too.
