BENRO CYANBIRD

(£235/$190)
Benro’s CyanBird tripod is designed for travel. As such, it weighs just 1.05kg, which is 220g lighter than its much more expensive rival, the carbon fibre Peak Design Travel Tripod. Similar to the Peak Design tripod, its legs have an arch-shaped profile, which means they fit closely around the centre column and give the CyanBird a diameter of just 6cm when it is collapsed. Consequently, all three legs fit easily inside a water bottle slot or in the tripod pocket of a backpack or bag.
