MeFoto Backpacker Air Tripod Review - THE BEST HIKING/BIKING TRIPOD. PERIOD.

[@wparo]

Thank you. I just bought one after watching your video. I noticed you also use Olympus gear, good stuff. What is your wrist watch make if I may ask. Looks so cool.

[@timur7381]

Wonder if you've seen SIRUI AM-025K. Would be a great comparison imo, it's also only 2lb, but it's made out of carbon, maybe it's a bit more stable.

[@chuck90504]

Looks like bento makes a similar style with much better leg adjustments, that top leg adjustment can make or break the system IMO.

[@stuffnuns]

I’ve had the Mefoto A1350 since ‘15, and, IMHO, it is the best bang for buck travel tripod. MeFoto is made by Benro, so, duh, they’re great. If you have a heavier camera, consider the A1350, ‘cause it’s a rock solid tripod, and not that much heavier than the Backpacker. And it fits in a carry-on bag, too.

[@MrKockabilly]

Thanks a lot for this video. I was so convinced to buy it for my run-and-gun video shoots (yeah I know this tripod is more for photo), but the fact that it has just one knob 3:09 that wont allow some sort of free panning I backed out, so i'll stick for a while with my sirui, until another very short tripod - that can pan - is out in the market, from whatever manufacturer.

[@DesYap]

Ya, it's tough to find something this small with actual video capabilities I have been finding. Still, love this thing!

[@williamstatt8651]

Just put a different head on it. It's got a standard mounting screw for the head.

[@williamstatt8651]

There are three "Torx" screws under the head mounting plate. You have to release these.

[@qrptedmac]

Is there anything that replaced this. It’s not available anymore

[@AdventuringBike]

This tripod is no longer being sold anywhere. Discontinued. Can you recommend a replacement?

[@emarshallp]

What about the roadtrip air, do you know it? Thanks, great video!!!!

[@AlokSomani]

I wonder if you've seen the new Vanguard Veo 2 Go series. They are legit tripods, but fold down to 12.75 inches and range from 2-2.8 pounds.

[@ViktorSzemerey]

Can somebody translate me the fried chicken units of measurement? The video is perfect tho. Thanks

[@DesYap]

Ha! Thanks!

[@dimas2487]

I just got one today, this tripod is awesome product.

[@mixfenix]

Wait you don’t experience it retracting despite thinking it was already locked? I get that all the time, it’s so frustrating!!

[@samsen201]

Very elaborate and excellent demonstration of all features, under 6 minutes. Well done and you have one more subscriber. TU.

[@DesYap]

Thanks!

[@samsen201]

@@DesYap Actually the thanks goes to you. Because of your good review I bought it. Mine is in sky blue color, as seen on the paper box cover of yours. Like it very much and is serving the purpose very well for me.

[@blackmamba3427]

Awesome video 👌

[@gyasiknunez126]

Since it seems this is no longer available, do you have a 2020 recommendation for something just as compact? I thought I had the found the perfect review until I realize the tripod was discontinued lol

[@Fuzzdope]

Also came to the same realization and was hoping to find something similar.

[@lukasking7172]

what I found out is that it is still available...

[@gyasiknunez126]

Where?

[@sr64olds]

Great video. Well done!

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

When fully extended there is NO WAY that this is stable. Even with the center column halfway up and at that point it’s REALLY SHORT.

[@addsy6396]

James Mason yeah, centre columns are a null point for me. Never use them

[@renzcampos4152]

Why don't you make anymore videos?? 😭😭😭

[@DesFit]

Been focusing on my other channel but I have some videos planned for this channel as soon as I cross 100K on the other channel! Thanks!

[@05glisedan]

Could you provide long term review? How's the tripod doing?

[@styler0745]

Will this work with the peak design plates?

[@staredsky]

Can you detach the head to substitute it? Thx

[@YourOwnAdventure]

Do you still use this tripod on the trail? Considering this because it's always a struggle to lug a bigger tripod out on the bike.

[@keerthanajayakumar6021]

Will my osmo action fit in this tripod

[@JK-ug7rm]

is it stable enough for landscapes?

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Great video man. Well done. I subbed you

[@DesYap]

Thanks!

[@chryseass.5143]

Another excellent video!

[@junbing626]

Yes! I like it just what i need THANKS!!!

[@MusicalDistractions]

Nice review. Thanks for this!

[@DesYap]

Sure thing! Thanks!

[@byasyag]

How comfortable is it for vlogging?(set up, carrying, etc.) Thanks!

[@flurryisland6882]

i wanted it sooo bad but it was sooo expensive so i had to get the cheaper tycka rangers tripod😫

[@wazzupbeckham]

hi! is it possible to remove the ball head and use my own?

[@lucada32]

I know this hasn't anything to do with your video - which is great by the way - but from where are you? Your facial features suggest to me that you are maybe from Kasachstan??

[@ProtoMarcus]

_Watching the video, seeing all the specs_ ''Yeah, probably gotta cost 300$+ dollar...'' 5:07 - _$79.00_ SpittingCereal.jpg ______________ *CRAP!* It's unavaible everywhere! Where can I buy this? Or is there a proper substitute? Would be perfect for my treks

[@nickpepe5996]

ProtoMarcus I actually found it online at b and h but it isn’t a solid color anymore.

[@matthewandrew]

Nice review

[@jursanfit631]

Is the tripod head removable ? I want to put a fluid head for video shooting.

[@DesYap]

Does not appear so. I tried to but couldn't budge it loose.

[@williamstatt8651]

Mine came with the tripod head separate and I had top screw it on. It is removable. I already swapped it out.

[@gilbertgk]

Is there an alternative to this. This seems too pricey

[@williamstatt8651]

I just mine from B&H for $29.99.

[@pgtips4240]

Thanks for video, good tripod but a little too cumbersome to adjust leg length, I'm lazy. Lol

[@tsh7103]

Great review!

[@DesYap]

Thanks!

[@stevetqp9152]

Very nice review of the MEFOTO BackPackAir tripod, Des! I'd compare it to the Oben CT-3535 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod, which was my "travel" model of choice for my relatively light Fuji X-Pro2 kit, that is, until ...I recently came across a unique and extremely high-quality travel tripod...the FLM "CP26 Travel Tripod". It has super-strong 10x Carbon Fiber legs (26 lb load capacity!) with well-made twist locks, and a ball head that has several unique features that I've not seen in my 35 years of photography using tripods...For example, the "Pan" function permits butter-smooth normal panning, but in addition, adds a 15-degree ratchet function that is fantastic for us landscape/panorama photographers! There is also a "Tilt" knob that locks the ball head so that only one vertical/up/down plane is available. And finally, there is a "lock" function that locks the ball head from panning/turning, so that it can easily be unscrewed and/or mounted solidly. The kit comes with very well-made screw-on metal spikes, and folds up to a compact 15.5" for travel. Quite ingenious and precision design overall, and highly recommended for travel!! Bottom line: This FLM tripod simply exudes Quality. Here's the link to that awesome tripod: www.flmcanada.com. Thanks, and I think you'll find the FLM CP26 Travel Tripod perfect for Panoramic (and all) photography!

[@angiefink8766]

This is an amazing tripod!

[@kristiantowondy9058]

Somebody please convert inch to centimeter (cm), we asian not use inch much

[@sglivetv]

FYI: the world's shortest travel tripod stands at 1.6m and folds down to 24cm. Velbon UT Super8

[@thelifeofjools8384]

No disrespect to this vid..I'm in the market for a travel tripod............but don't you think you tube is becoming a bit like a shopping channel these days ? .... tripod looks ok...but I'm drawn more to the compromised manfrotto be free....
