It is not so common to say that the best tripod for travel is what it carries. And that's really the key.
I have large, robust and heavy camera tripod. They wonder if size and weight are not a problem or if I have to break a powerful drink.
But their mass prevents them from traveling with them, and above all, I am less inclined to take them with them. I have tried many times to carry one of them, but the camera tripod remains mainly in the hotel room. He is a bit old and says that it is difficult to take a picture. If you do not take the camera tripod because it seems too heavy, it is difficult to get long exposures with city lights, night scenes, acceleration or even static videos. Or you just want to make sure your photos are ready.
