Other competitors include the Dolica TX570B150SL which I also bought and tested. While the 2 tripods are very similar in design and function, I will give the edge to Mefoto on the strength of its compactness, and solid design. Here are some of the pros and cons as I observed:Pros- ingenious folding design takes up about 12" almost an inch shorter than the Dolica. It will fit in my backpack sideways, even within its own bag (I use a Lowepro 22L hatchback camera backpack). No worries getting this tripod thru TSA with your carry on bags!- ball head has solid feel in hand, requiring minimal twisting effort to secure your rig- has detaching baseplate for quick on/off setup, I am able to get everything out of my bag and start taking pictures in 60secs- bubble level in landscape mode (none in portrait mode)- telescoping legs with quick lock/unlock mechanismCons- thumb screw attachable baseplate rather than flip level turn screw (dolica wins here)- poor anti-drop lock device, (Dolica has a release button such that must be pressed to detach camera, which is much safer design)- cost, a bit pricier but then again, you get what you pay for.5 starsUpdate 7/15/2014:This weekend I hiked Yosemite's Half Dome (18 miles, 5000 foot climb) and brought this baby along with my Canon EOS Rebel t4i and 18-135mm walk-about lens. Here is the field report:I must say the weight is impressive. I was able to ascend the cable portion of the peak without ever feeling that weight was holding me back. The tripod gripped the granite fairly well, but I do notice some jitter with strong wind. It's good enough to snap portraits but longer exposures (greater than 1/2 sec will be a little a little blurry). Still, not bad at all. It was also a full moon that night so I did a 4 minute exposure at F3.5, ISO100 of the Yosemite Valley under moonlight with this tripod. You would swear it was daytime except for the stars in the picture...gorgeous!Overall, I am very happy with the tripod, mostly because I like its compactness and it's performance given that size. Of course you can't have both, so you have to pick which feature is most important to you ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I love the size and quality *by L***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019* I ordered the Backpacker S for a trip to Yellowstone. I was delighted with how small a form it folded into. It is easy to carry inside a small backpack - it doesn't need to be externally attached. The compact size allowed me to fly without any check-in luggage. It is convenient to carry around and whip out when needed.I found the Backpacker S to be stable enough for my purposes - I am an enthusiast. I value portability and convenience over technical superiority. The carbon fiber is very strong and light. Many have warned that you should be cautious on a windy day or with a heavy camera. I would have to agree - be sure to attach some weight to the hook. It would have been nice if mefoto designed it to have a 3rd leg angle. The Backpacker S can be in an upright position and in a very low position. Having an intermediate option would provide additional stability for when the photographer values stability over tripod height.Still, it's a great tripod, great price, and it gets the job done! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet! *by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2014* I've been through several tripods in the past few years. I finally came across this one after being recommended by the Strobist blog. In short, I am extremely satisfied with the diminutive size, ultralight weight, and durability of this tripod.In long, here's a bit of a comparison of the tripods I've used over the years (and why the Strobist's recommendation to just start off by buying a really good tripod holds true):When I first started with photography about four years ago, I purchased the cheapest tripod I could find, the $25 Vista Explorer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V7AF8E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000V7AF8E&linkCode=as2&tag=todmedblo-20&linkId=OOAE2WZGH75GOMM3It's light, has clamp locks and a level and an adjustable center column. Features check. What it didn't have was strength. If you wanted your camera anything but level, its plastic clamps would slowly slip (shooting on an intro-level dSLR - would probably be fine with a point and shoot). It was a great tripod....until I started taking photographs for real, and needed a tripod where I could let go of my camera for more than 5 seconds. Also, no ability to pan the camera!So, I got the $70 Dolica Proline: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DIKUYE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001DIKUYE&linkCode=as2&tag=todmedblo-20&linkId=K3PYY4E3AAHTRKT4Better. This tripod lasted me for a solid year of trustworthy functioning - until, one day, it got blown over in a wind storm, and the legs bent. Did I mention this one was still made of plastic? It was also awkwardly designed, with the pan handle extending out of the carrying bag (unless you really wanted to unscrew it every time you put it away)Fast-forward to this Mefoto, whose durability has survived drops and falls, and whose portability lets me stick it in a backpack and ditch the extra carrying case. It's made of metal, so I'm expecting it to last much longer than either of my previous tripods...It might cost twice as much as my Dolica, but it's on track to easily last at least twice as long! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80447980-mefoto-backpacker-s-lightweight-54-7-aluminum-travel-tripod-monopod](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80447980-mefoto-backpacker-s-lightweight-54-7-aluminum-travel-tripod-monopod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
