7 Day shop travel-pro tripod?

[simonkit]

Just had an email from 7 Day Shop promoting their "Travel-pro" tripod, looks interesting for holidays etc. I already have a Benro CF Travel Angel I use for hiking etc but it is still a bit too bulky for travel, anyone tried the 7 day shop one or seen any reviews?

Hmm - looks interesting
By the look of the photos, the quick release seems to be Arca compatible too (can see no mention of it in the write up though)
Might invest in one of these to keep in the car.
Thanks for the heads up

No problem, does look interesting, would like to know a bit more before sticking my D800 on it though :shrug:

weigh your current one, 1.1kg is still fairly heavy

It's more about it being compact than weighty, 33cm is an ideal size for a suitcase, my CF one weighs more too at 1.8kg.. just a case of how useable/stable the 7 Day shop one is though

Did anyone buy this and what is your opinion of it? Looks pretty compact but how stable is it with a DSLR attached?
Thanks
