MeFoto BackPacker is a portable and stylish tripod, best suitable to use with mirrorless or compact cameras.
- When folded, it only weights 2.6 lb (1.18kg) and 12.6 inch (32cm).
- When opened, it’s in 51.2 inch (1.3m) maximum height and 8.8 lb (4kg) maximum load
Not too large and not too slim – suitable for walk-around using. That’s why it’s called BackPacker.
The tripod series comes with 12 color options, here we use the red version for demonstration.
