Have used the aluminum as my travel tripod for the past few years and it is great. I actually am able to fold it up into my camera bag it is that compact. The carbon fiber is a little over a pound lighter and should be a bit more sturdy. For the price I would say it is well worth it.

I think it is a fair price. You can find similar travel tripods around the same price. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/se...OW_TO_HIGH

Any way to know if the ball head will hold a typical DSLR with lens sideways (portrait orientation) without slipping?

My current ~$60 ball head tripod that looks similar can't do it, didn't realize until after purchasing.

I don't like it. The screw-in leg thing is a pain in the butt in the field and it is not that light weight at all.

Are you talking about this tripod? Can you help elaborate? Thanks

Product Description:	The MeFOTO BackPacker Pro 6-in-1 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod from Benro is a versatile travel tripod that also acts as a monopod, boom pole, selfie stick, high hat, and tabletop tripod. It has a load capacity of 13.2 lb, making it compatible with compact and video cameras, Action cams, mirrorless cameras, and DSLRs. The included Arca-type ball head includes a PMM70 quick release plate, which folds out to convert into a smartphone clamp with cold shoe accessory mount. This compact tripod has a maximum height of 55.1", yet the legs reverse fold to a compact 15.2", making it easy to carry along whenever and wherever it is needed. Within the tripod's removable feet, you'll find a 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 adapter stud and an accompanying straight screwdriver to use with the stud, which allows the included phone PMM70 clip/camera plate to be attached to the tripod leg to create a selfie stick. The center column can be removed and combined with a removable leg to make a 56.9" monopod for situations where a tripod may be too bulky or slow, like when shooting wildlife or sports. The center column also conceals a compact folding tabletop leg set that can be combined with the ball head to form a tabletop tripod. The lightweight carbon fiber legs have independent leg spread and open out to three locking positions for easy leveling, even on uneven terrain. Each leg features a removable rubber foot that conceals a tool or adapter, so all of the tripod set components are always handy.
