Travel Tripod Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon

Travel tripods for photographers are usually masters of compromise and have to reconcile low weight and packing volume with the best possible stability.

A travel tripod solves three challenges

Rollei has now taken a closer look at each of these three, seemingly contradictory, requirements: The Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon travel tripod literally turns the conventional design of tripods on its head - the four-way extendable tripod legs can be swiveled 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 photo 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.
