Manfrotto’s Element Traveller Big Red is the perfect choice for enthusiast photographers looking for a travel tripod that is reliable, lightweight and easy to carry.
The Manfrotto Element Traveller is an affordable, compact, sturdy aluminium alloy tripod kit that is also highly versatile. It extends up to a height of 164cm, folds down to just 41cm and is easy to pack in most bags.
The tripod’s legs spread independently and feature three leg-angle stops allowing versatile positioning on almost any surface. The twist lock mechanism enables photographers to get into the perfect position with smooth, rapid movements, giving them the freedom to focus on their shots.
Manfrotto’s Element Traveller Big takes travelling smart to a whole new level: this smart and small lightweight tripod is designed with a full-size monopod integrated in it. To use the monopod, just remove the tripod leg with the padded leg-warmer and attach the centre column.
Since lightness is a travel tripod must, photographers can rely on the spring-loaded hook located at the bottom of the centre column to add additional weight for extra stability when needed.
Manfrotto Element Big is ideal for CSCs, mirrorless and DLSR cameras and easily holds lenses up to 200mm and payloads up to 8kg. The aluminium ball head is engineered to deliver the smoothest movements when framing a desired shot and firmly locks equipment exactly where you need it. If you’re into landscape photography, you’ll love the separate head’s pan lock that allows photographers to take amazing panorama shots easily and precisely thanks to its 360° pan index.
The ball head mounts an Arca-type quick release plate with a 1/4''-20 camera screw on top that ensures equipment is balanced when using zoom lenses.
The Manfrotto Element Big comes in four colours (Black, Red, Blue and Grey), in its own padded bag for easy storage and transport.

Bought this same tripod, my first tripod, on the advice of Mr Randy TenBrink. I thought it was no good, but my wife figured it out. THANK YOU for this excellent video. Manfrotto should try a little harder to educate their beginner customers, but I thank you for educating me. Really great video. We are taking it this week to try to photograph points of Mt Hiba, the home of the hibagon, Japanese bigfoot.

Hi, Does the tripod come with 3/8 screw? should I remove the ballhead to access the screw? and can that screw be used on the monopod as well? Please advise

[@mromeroization]

Great video! The weight and size are perfect for travel but a big problem is the legs are so stiff I cannot fold them. Is there a way to loosen them up?

[@MusikPiratCH]

Can't you use the center column with the leg to extend the monopod? Other travel tripods have this feature! ;)
8s for the stability test is far too long considering the 2s self timer in most cameras. (Of course some cameras offer a 10s self timer as well.)

One of the tripod legs that can be adopted to monopod can't be extended further by central column here, because the screw mounts don't match - at the end of central column is a hook and underneath is not a required screw mount to connect it with the leg of monopod.

Do you find the ball head have tipping movement when you point the camera up (for example if shooting the moon)? Thanks

[@smartphotographyreviews7]

We didn't notice that issue while using this tripod.
