Finding a genuinely lightweight tripod with high stability and an efficient and easy-to-use camera platform is a difficult task. There's almost nothing in the under-one-kilogram category that combines light weight with features that provide easy usability and reliability plus an affordable price tag. While carbon fibre tripods combine light weight with high rigidity, you may need to put up with a tripod head that offers limited adjustability and lacks a quick-release plate just to keep the overall weight under a kilogram.
If you read the round-up of compact tripods published in Issue 37 of Photo Review Australia magazine, you will conclude (as we did) that Velbon's Ultra Maxi M represents the best compromise in the current market. Its build quality is a cut above competing budget-priced models while its head, although not perfect, provides adjustments that are genuinely useful. If you can tolerate these imperfections, the Ultra Maxi M is worth a look.
