Yep, agree Gordon, it’s a great addition to a light bag carry. I also use a Sirui 3T-35K which I find has even more flexibility whilst not detracting from the clean and simple benefits of the Feisol. Nice video. Best ....

I've had a Manfrotto Digi 709b for years and for me it's perfect. It's much sturdier than the Pixi range and cost about £85 in 2012. I love that it fits in my pocket and is strong enough to hold my DSLR with ease. If having a built in ballhead is preferable I'd very highly recommend it.

This looks like a great bit of kit. However if you're not using the ballhead I would highly recommend looking at the Manfrotto MP4, arguably the best $20 I've ever spent. Tripod that literally fits in your jeans pocket.

Just picked this up on your recommendation Gordon, it's awesome! It's muchhh tinier than it looks than in even your video, but it really is the perfect size :) I think Feisol must've seen your note about the D ring because mine came with a tiny swivel handle along the coin screw! Cheers :)

That guider head looks quite top-heavy for this kind of tripod, even before you mount a camera with a big lens. It could be fine for shorter exposures, but I suspect not for longer ones in this instance.

Just a smidgen bigger than my RRS pocket pod, but due to the wider base on the TT-15, you appear to get a slightly wider and more stable footprint at each of the three height settings. If I were to buy again I’d definitely go with the TT-15.

I kind of like the platypod with a good large ballhead. You can even clip it somewhere use the legs or not use the legs, and works even in certain situations that you can't even use a tripod, like touring inside a castle, a house, they always have those security poles with flat top where you can keep the platypod flat on it.

Thanks for this review and for me it is too small for my purposes. I appreciate what mention in your video, but at such a short hight, why to use put your camera down and the ledge etc and take a shot? I use a Open CTT-1000 carbon fibre tripod as it has many features to make it useful in different situations. It can be small and light weight and also border on being an actual travel tripod option. Keep up the great vids! I'll buy you another coffee soon!

If you have the legs opened to their widest position, it can be surprisingly stable, albeit very low to the ground.
