The everyday easel Kenro Karoo Travel Tripod Kit

Want a top tripod that doesn’t demand top dollar? Magnesium alloy might make this one heavier than some, but it’s lighter on price. And it’s no knock-off option: built for sturdiness, it has a triple-action ballhead with quick-release plate, while the column can be reversed for action at ground level. £120 / kenro.co.uk
