A tripod is the one accessory I try never to leave the house without when going on a landscape shoot, but the bulky size and cumbersome weight of some tripods can make them not that appealing to strap to my backpack when hiking to scenic spots.
The Manfrotto Befree GT Pro is the answer, with a fold-up design for compact stowage and an altogether reasonable 3.2lb weight. And the best news is that B&H Photo has just slashed the price of this fabulous travel tripod to less than half its 'regular' selling price. True, only a few places are actually selling it at the full $219.95, but the cheapest I've seen its competitor retailers selling it for is $143, so this is still a cracking deal!
