The Leofoto LS-284C X Version Ranger Series Tripod + Ballhead Set is probably close to a perfect travel tripod: it is light, small, functional, etc - everything you need in a travel tripod. I especially like the extender column that you can add if needed. I did a great deal of AI research and this tripod stood out for functionality and value. And, when I purchased it directly from Leofoto USA, it was shipped to me almost immediately and I had it within a few days. Highly recommended.
