12kg Load Capacity

The MeFOTO GlobeTrotter tripod is capable of supporting up to 12kg of gear, ideal even for larger DSLR camera and lens combinations. This hefty payload range gives you the flexibility to add additional accessories, like lighting or microphones.

Multi-Action Ball Head with Independent Control

The included ball head offers fast, precise framing with support for both horizontal and vertical orientation. Independent knobs for friction, ball lock, and 360° panning ensure intuitive control and reliable performance. A bubble level on the clamp makes it easy to align your camera.

Arca Compatible Quick Release Plate

An Arca Swiss compatible quick release plate with a 1/4-inch mounting screw lets you attach your camera quickly and securely. A locking mechanism ensures your camera won't slip accidentally.

Retractable Centre Column Hook

A spring loaded recessed hook on the bottom of the centre-column allows you to hang your camera bag or weights to the tripod for additional stability, especially useful when using heavy cameras or shooting in windy conditions.

5-Section Reverse Folding Legs

5-section legs and an adjustable centre column provide a maximum working height of 163cm. This design also contributes to the overall compact folded length of 41cm, perfect for travel. The legs are secured with durable and easy to use twist locks that are rubberised for grip and provide a solid lock.

2 Independent Leg Angles

Legs can be independently positioned at two pre-set angles that help make it easier to set-up even on uneven terrain. Opening the legs wide allows you to get low-angle perspectives, perfect for capturing unique viewpoints or dramatic landscapes.

Built-in Monopod

For situations when a full tripod may not be practical, the modular approach of the GlobeTrotter allows it to double as a monopod as well. Simply combine the removable leg and centre column to form a full-size monopod perfect for sports and wildlife photography, or shooting stabilised video.
