Have you ever shopped for a tripod and just walked away confused. There are so many different makes and models not to mention the expensive prices. Well a company called Geekoto is joining in the competition and their tripods are turning heads because of their quality and low prices.
We had the opportunity to take a look at one of their lightweight multifunction Carbon Fiber Tripods. The Geekoto CT25Pro.

My first reaction to this tripod was wow it’s super light. You can easily pick it up with one finger which means for city shoots and travel it is ideal. The height is perfect, and it is easy to extend and operate.
Using it with a DSLR and a 24-70 2.8 it handled well and felt sturdy. This tripod easily converts into a monopod for those times you need that extra sturdiness but a tripod may not be allowed. Another plus is that you can also use that monopod as a hiking pole to help reach those breathtaking spots to shoot.
While I haven’t used it many times or in all weather conditions, I am impressed in how it performs, especially in comparison to other well known brands whose price is much higher.
I can’t wait to put it to more use and see how well it handles.
Priced at $149.00 it includes a ball head, tools and a carry bag! There is a lot of value here for the money!
If your looking for a very light weight tripod, this is definitely worth a look.
