- In this video I introduce my channel and then talk about 2 super-compact, super-lightweight carbon fiber travel tripods:
Rollei Compact Traveler No.1
Benro Slim FSL09CN00
I will tell you what I like, what I don't like, and whether I will keep one of those or none of them and why
that is the kind of review I wish to see. Honest and detail. thank you.
Thank you for letting me know
I think Rollei must have updated this. The centre column on mine does go down, so no height issue for me. Great review video.
Thanks! I haven't tried the new model. I bought a Sirui A-1205. Check my review out
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography I will. Also, the Rollei can adapt to a monopod - ideal for an extended support for my DJI Osmo Pocket
@@digitaliphotography my new Rollei also doesnt have an issue with the centre column anymore. Could I ask, how do you adapt it to a monopod?
@@bonitaliu1030 One of the legs unscrews and you screw part of the centre column on to that.
thanks, I learn some things, very useful !
Happy to hear that
Very informative! Thanks
great video, perhaps in the first part a bit more of light was needed, but really interesting and well done
Thanks for the nice review. There's been some (too many!) reports about the poor durability of the Benro. What's been your experience?
I can't say that much about it. I only used it for a couple of weeks, so I couldn't test the durability
Great testing....Thank You
Thank you for watching my video!
Nice Video. Isnt it possible to swap the head on the benro for a better one ? I have seen that this works on comparable benro tripods
Rollei a bowling bal imirite?
Luca, perché non fai delle recensioni pure in italiano?
Alcuni yuotuber lo fanno già, vedi Imagenica che fa delle recensioni in inglese e in giapponese. Comunque complimenti 👏👏👏
They recently updated the rollei carbon and on the one i got it's possible to drop (and reverse) the center collumn. You see the difference as there's less orange on the current model and the padding o nthe legs is different
Thanks for sharing this. I will have a look at it
Thank you so much for this video , you saved my time and money. Im looking a tripod for a hiking, cycling . I have Manfrotto 055 pro old one. It's good but big ang heavy. I could accept something little heavier to getting better stability, but less then my Manfrotto. Something between 1.2 -1.5 kg any recommendation ? Regards
Sirui A-1205. I have a review on my channel, have a look at it
It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny
I don't know if this is a new version - but the model I bought of exactly the same name DOES have central column lowering down www.amazon.es/gp/product/B01AWCQPYK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a different one. The one I tried had a fixed central column that I hated
Hi there - I have the exact same tripod (compact traveler no1) but in aluminum and can confirm that the center column does indeed drop. I did struggle at first but later got the hang of it (twist) and then thereafter it was much easier to drop. Pls double check and let me know as I’m about to upgrade my tripod for the carbon fiber.
I already returned it. Based on my experience there's no way of dropping the center column. I tried hard and despite my efforts I couldn't find a way. There is no twisting mechanism to turn
ricoh carbon works this way too
Good video my friend! I was interested in this tripod, but think I might go for a different model. I plan to use a different head though.
There are new models around. I ended up buying a Sirui A-1205. Pricey, a little bit bigger, but far more stable. At least at a first glance... I just bought it
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography Nice! I decided to try the Neewer Camera Tripod Monopod Carbon Fiber with Rotatable Center Column, hopefully I'll like it. But, like you, I'll test it prior to getting it dirty in case I need to return it. I lso ordered the Benro 3-Way Geared Head, should be perfect for landscapes!
The Neewer has served me well for a while, but recently I lost the head during a hiking. I don't know how.
However I decided to step my game up with tripods add went for the Sirui
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography I was looking for a travel Tripod (my first ever) and I discovered your channel. Thanks for the video and the suggestions! I've just ordered the Neewer one as I'm a beginner and didn't want to go for a more expensive one. But perhaps in a year or two I'll follow you and will get the Sirui :)
Thanks for stopping by!
The Neewer is more then good for a beginner. I wouldn't have changed it, at least for now, if I hadn't lost the head
Thx for the video. Now I know I have to buy the bigger brother of that Benro. That is the Benro iFOTO FIF28CIB2.
I don't know that model, but I hope it's more stable and has a better head
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography It looks it is. But also bigger as well a little bit . And unfortunately more expensive as well. www.benroeu.com/products/benro-fta29cv1.aspx
How heavy were the camera body and lens you used for your tests?
I don't remember the weight, it was the xt-20 with a lightweight lens, I'd say way less than one kilo
Is it possible to detach the head to substitute it with another one of your choice? Thanks
Yes, as far as I remember yes.
I already returned both so I can't be 100% sure about that
The best travel tripod is the no 2 Gitzo Travel tripod, but it's expensive
I don't doubt it but it's really really expensive. I recently reviewed the Sirui A-1205, it's way less expensive and I found it really effective. You may wanna give a look at it
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography
What seems affordable in the short term can be a waste of money Luca in the long term if it won't do the job. I'm a former news agency photographer who has lugged travel tripods around more countries than I care to remember, and I can assure you I know what I'm talking about.
I wasn't arguing with you, I believe what you say. However not everyone is willing to invest that amount of money in the tripod. I'm not necessarily talking about professionals, but enthusiast may find the gitzo prices too high for their pockets
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography
I appreciate Luca that around £600 seems like a lot of money for a hobbyist, but if you consider how much we pay for our cameras and lenses, and that this is a capital piece of equipment that will last a lifetime (although you may upgrade your cameras and lenses)
I learned many years ago that there's a big difference between the best value for money and the best.
@@mugshot749 I totally understand
Tripod reviews are really interesting (at least for me). It seems to be very personal what one reviewer likes another dislikes (and vice versa). There is an other model of the Benro slim carbon TSL08CN00 (which has only 4 leg segments compared to the 5 on the 09 model). However with the ballhead there is a disagreement. One reviewer said it's fine for small and mirrorless cameras other like you really hate this ballhead! I guess you could replace the ballhead wiht another one. But then you'll lose some of the weight advantage of this light weight travel tripod.
As others have already mentioned Rollei seemed to have changed its compact traveler No.1 ...
I'm still looking for a light weight travel tripod. (I have the Rollei C5i but this is not nearly as light weight as the compact traveler No.1 or the Benro slim carbon. Interesting for me looks the Rollei CT-5C for it's versatility but it's even heavier than the C5i ...
For more stability I also own the Rollei Rock Solid Beta Mark II which made an excellent impression on me. However with about 2.2 kg it's no longer light weight! :(
For wildlife I have the Rollei Rock Solid Alpha XL Mark II in mind with a Benro GH2 gimbal which seems to be an amazing combination.
Which Is best?
Probably the Benro, but I didn't like both
nobody fucks with the jesus
