Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon Tripod
The travel tripod Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon literally turns the conventional design of tripods upside down - the four extendable tripod legs can be swiveled by 180 degrees and allow for an amazingly small pack size length of only 33 cm. In combination with the highly stable and lightweight high-tech material carbon, the total weight of the Compact Traveler No. 1 drops below 1 kilogram, even the professional travel photographer does not need to reserve more than 980 g in his luggage. The carbon of the Rollei travel tripod is also responsible for the impressive load capacity of 8 kg, this corresponds to a dead weight/load ratio of 1/8! The swiveling nature of the tripod legs even allows for macro shots at ground level, which would otherwise require additional equipment.
The lightweight that doesn't show its strength
The 360° panorama ball head of the Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon takes even professional SLR bodies with super-telephoto lenses and other accessories with ease via the standardized and Arca-Swiss-compatible quick-release plate and allows quick subject changes. Sturdy spikes with gentle end caps guarantee a firm stand on any surface, while a freely rotating hook on the center column further increases stability when you attach your camera bag or any weight to it.
Ready to go and fully equipped
The tripod legs are quickly extended to the maximum height of 142 cm with the quick-release clamp. For particularly tricky situations, the Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon travel tripod can also be used as a monopod, a separate bag is of course included with Rollei. Furthermore, you get all the necessary tools as well as a bag that can also be comfortably carried as a backpack.
Tested and awarded in the tripod category
Chip magazine has already tested the compact travel tripod. The professional and independent test was conducted in the tripod category. The Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon has thus prevailed against high-priced tripod competitors with the grade GOOD. The high stability despite the very light weight was particularly praised. The measured values showed a stability of 98% in windy conditions and with the center column retracted. When the center column is fully extended and affected by the wind, the measured value drops to 87%. Nevertheless, a sensational value for the 980 gram lightweight travel tripod.
The Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon is proud of the result of a total of 92 points for stability. With an overall rating of GOOD with 82.1%, the Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon also performs more than satisfactorily as a city, nature and travel tripod. It is also included in the best list of all tripods in 36th place - a real top performance for a travel tripod.
