The slate gray FY-820 Free-1 Compact Aluminum Travel Tripod from Fotopro is a compact travel tripod with a number of useful features. It has a load capacity of 8.8 pounds and expands to a maximum height of 60", yet it weighs only 1.8 pounds, and folds down to a compact 9.8", making it easy to carry to any location. The ball head has an Arca-type quick release set, and includes a smartphone adapter for shooting online content, and even making TokTok videos. The included carabiner allows hanging extra weight to the Free-1 tripod for increased stability.

The center column can be removed and inverted for low level or macro shooting. It can also be used as a 33" long selfie stick for shooting self-portraits, or for webcasting. Like the tripod legs, the selfie stick is made up of five sections that unlock and lock with a twist and expands in seconds.

Q: 6. Does this come with a carry bag ?? J. Payne

A: Yes it does!

Q: 7. Would you recommend using this with a canon 100-400 II on a 6d? It's within my price range but I would like to feel secure leaving my equipment on there for at least a short period of time. If not, does anyone have recommendations for another tripod not too far from this price range?

A: It's rated at 26 lbs. I've only used it with a 70D with battery grip (similar size to your 60D?) a 300-700 4-5.6 L on it but not with a collar. The mounting plate allows for some movement of the mount point, but I think I'd look at getting an optional, longer, ARCA-stile mount plate to give you a few extra inches of flexibility - that should allow you to mount over the center of gravity better. the legs extend wide enough and should not be a problem. if you're concerned about stability, there is a hook under the center column to which a sandbag or weight can be tied to help with that. I was also evaluating INDURO aluminum models as well. This won-out on price point and features. Very nice fit/finish.
