I have looked at a few, and the one I'm considering is the Feisol 3441SB with CB-30C Ball Head, Center Column, QP-144750 Plate and a Tripod Bag. Does anyone have experience with this one? Can it fit into a backpack/large daypack?

Kind regards,

Karsten,

I have not used any equipment by Feisol so, unfortunately, can't provide you with any information. I personally use Gitzo tripods because they are lightweight carbon fiber and very sturdy. Gitzo Website

I am presently eying an expensive upgrade to Really Right Stuff ball heads. I have found the Gitzo ball head is difficult to get set up correctly. It tends to sink after it is tightened.: Really Right Stuff

I always suggest getting a gorillapod. They are PERFECT for backpacking!

She has some cool photos of sunsets. Some are taken of sunsets reflecting off windows, or off water etc. Do you have any unusual sunset photos, such as the sun reflecting off a famous monument, or off a river.....?

HELP to get a photo/video for my best friends' wedding! by AlternativeSolo
I wonder whether any traveler who see this post can take a picture/video which shows the letters "Q & I" or the names "Qiao and Iris" in front of any landmark, an interesting or beautiful place. And send me the picture/video, the location and the time the picture is taken.
