Thread 4454192

Hello /p/ I am a casual to this board and photography, but I am /trv/ and I am looking for an extremely compact chest height tripod which has the video pan feature like in picrel (unless you can convince me otherwise)
the most important things to me are
>affordability
>compact (dimensions wise, ideal for carry-on backpacks) this is critical
>weight doesn't really matter as I always weight under whenever I fly abroad
>Ideally I don't want to spend more then 150-200 euro.
I am a casual and this is a lot of money for something I will use once in a blue moon
I have a Fuji xt-30ii with kit lens, I just want a tripod for nature shots, long exposure shots, group photos, time lapses etc (I would like the video lever for panning shots etc if I am filming but this is not critical) since looking into tripods I really did not expect them to get this expensive desu. Any advice would be great.

Get an expensive one or get none.
Talking from experience.

>>4454192 (OP)
All of the really small and light tripods are absurdly overpriced for being 3 tubes hinged together so i scored a used sirui t series tripod on ebay for $15 and just deal with it

Sirui is a decent choice for not spending a lot of money. Anything less is really just asking for an annoying pain in the ass. Otherwise a used manfrotto seems to be the general consensus on /p/.

Benro are also okay, they’re essentially gitzo clones, the one I have for my 4x5 is decently solid and chunky
