Take it anywhere...even caves

"I have used this tripod for over a dozen caving expeditions with great success. It is VERY compact and can easily fit in a cave pack with no problem.

Great tripod (while it lasted)

"I purchased this tripod from B&H Photo Video just before my trip to Europe based on price vs. characteristics comparison.

"I've had this Magic 2 for some 15 years and it is the most convenient tripod to carry around and it carries modern slrs on its ball head without probs.



I love the way it folds into a flat package and one leg dismantled to produce a tall monopod.



For really serious work I use my Manfrotto but f …"  Read Full Review »

"I use this tripod strictly for cave photography, where small storage size is a major plus. It collapses flat, fits easily inside a cave pack, won't snag on anything while it's in there, and weighs next to nothing. Mine is covered completely in mud and dust after each trip and cleans easily. The s …"  Read Full Review »
