Tripods are indispensable tools for travel photographers, especially if you do landscape or wildlife work.
Gitzo GK1545T-82TQD Series 1 ($960)
Nature photographers will want a tripod that can handle a lot of weight, enough to support their 200mm zoom lens while remaining stable for long exposure shots. Gitzo is one of the top brands for professionals with a premium ball head and tight controls. It’s even compact enough to fit in a carry-on bag.
MeFoto RoadTrip Carbon Fiber ($299)
MeFoto is a spinoff brand created by Benro, a Chinese manufacturer in the game since 1996. MeFoto fills the space between top of the line, carbon fiber tripods and the cheaper stuff that won’t last a whole trip. The RoadTrip is durable, lightweight and comes in a large variety of colors.
Joby GorillaPod Hybrid ($36)
For something cheap, compact and fun to use, Joby’s GorillaPod Hybrid is a popular and economical solution. The flexible legs can be manipulated around objects for a tight grip, giving you shooting angles not available on a traditional tripod.
