Freewell, known for its innovative filters and camera gear, has unveiled The Real Travel Tripod, a high-performance tripod designed specifically for photographers and filmmakers who need stability, speed, and durability in a lightweight package. Crafted from carbon fibre and boasting a sleek, minimalist design, this new addition to Freewell’s lineup aims to be the ultimate companion for content creators on the move.
Weighing just 1.25kg and folding down to a compact 45cm, The Real Travel Tripod is built with travel in mind—but it doesn’t compromise on stability. With a load capacity of up to 10kg, it can comfortably support full-frame DSLR and mirrorless cameras with telephoto lenses or compact cinema rigs. Whether you’re shooting time-lapses in the mountains or capturing long exposures in the city, this tripod is designed to keep your gear steady in a wide range of environments.
One of its standout features is the ultra-fast deployment system. Each leg extends using a unique Quick-Adjust locking mechanism that allows users to fully set up or pack away the tripod in under 10 seconds—ideal for fast-moving shoots or changing conditions. The three-stage leg system also offers adjustable angles for shooting at various heights or on uneven terrain.
The Real Travel Tripod includes a compact, integrated ball head with a panoramic base and Arca-Swiss compatibility. This makes it easy to mount and switch between cameras or accessories with confidence, all while maintaining precise control over framing and angle. Rubberised feet provide added grip on slippery surfaces, while a built-in hook allows for extra weight stabilisation when needed.
For landscape photographers, travel vloggers, and outdoor filmmakers, Freewell’s latest release combines premium materials and intuitive design features to offer a tripod that’s as rugged and reliable as it is quick and convenient.
