Tripod - good for travelling/stable

[Fader8]

Hi there,

Has any of you made good experience with the singe stick tripods? Are they stable?
To me hey seem good for travelling and have a great range of height - which is important
to me.

Thanks for advices

I have the Manfrotto 536 and I love it. Light and versatile. Can go extremely low to rdiculiously high. For travel, it's just about perfect.

Both the Manfrotto and the Gitzo you have linked to fold down to 28" which is actually quite long. However, the Manfrotto is also a good bit heavier. The Miller is about two inches shorter and about the same weight as the Gitzo. All of them are good tripods, however for travel, perhaps you need to be looking for something shorter. Gitzo makes a couple Systematics which fold down to between16-19" and Sirui as well - even smaller. All carbon fiber. They don't go as high, but are stable and pro. I would say if you want to fit it into a backpack for instance they make more sense.
