The Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 literally stands the typical tripod design on its head: the 4x extensible legs can pivot a full 180°. The Compact Traveler No. 1 is made of rugged, lightweight and high-tech carbon fiber, which cuts its weight. Rollei's choice of tripod material also means it handles camera gear - a tripod to payload ratio of 1:8! Macro shots near the ground typically requiring additional equipment are also possible, thanks to the pivoting legs.
