For our recent epic two-week road trip around America, I was keen to capture some great travel photos of all the iconic locations my family and I would be visiting from Vegas to LA and San Francisco. But as I was arriving in the US by airplane, I wanted to travel light. I mean very light. So this meant I only took one Canon camera, one Canon lens, and I certainly didn’t want to bring a big and bulky tripod.
Aside from the fact that I wouldn’t have room in our suitcase for a standard tripod, I didn’t want to lug a long and heavy tripod around in the California weather, nor did I want to draw attention to myself while I was wandering around Venice Beach after dark.
