This carbon fibre, full height, tripod is quite a bargain. It’s not inexpensive but is about half the price of near alternatives and comes with a decent ball head and carry case.
I’ve had various bits of Neewer kit and always found it practical and good quality - this tripod carries on the tradition.
I searched for quite some time before deciding on the Neewer but I’m glad I made the decision I did. Brand snobs need not apply but if you want a solid, lightweight tripod with no frills this is your boy.
You could reduce the weight even further by changing the head for a smaller, lighter one - depending on your use case.
In my opinion, it’s best suited to general landscape type photography. A heavy camera and lens combo might be too much but any “normal” camera with up to maybe a 300mm should be absolutely fine.
I use tripods every day for my work so I am a little fussy. I own various Manfrotto’s and a crazy expensive Gitzo (that I got cheap) but for the ultra light kit I bought this tripod for, it’s absolutely fantastic without breaking the bank.
I have no idea of its durability over time but it seems solid to me.
If you’re thinking it’s still a bit pricey and considering a cheaper aluminium option - don’t if you can avoid it. Carbon fibre is lighter, absorbs vibrations much better and is nicer to work with in the cold.
Good luck finding a better tripod for the price!
