Mini/Compact Tripod sub £70

[306dean]

I've been looking at the Hama mini traveller pro, it probably won't be used that much but i want to keep one on my bag just in case.

It needs to be able to hold the following.

Nikon D2H - Approx 1.1kg
Sigma 170-500mm - Approx 2.3kg

So I guess a 4kg Max load.

Obviously stability and weight are a trade off but i don't know where the line is drawn.

Any ideas or comments on my original choice?

Thanks

I bought 2 x Hama mini traveller pro last March, primarily to hold my speedlites, but also for some occasional macro work. To be honest, they're fine for holding my flashes, but not so great for holding my DSLR (a 350D + Sigma 105 at the time) as the ball head tends to slip a fair bit.

For extra stability on your tripod - whichever you decide on

This one has a slightly higher load weight

Only £8 dearer as well...
