The stand should have a compact pack size, low weight and ease of use, and remain under priced. In addition, quick release plate and ball head were desired. The maximum working height should not be too low.

My choice was finally on the [[ASIN: B00COLBNTK Manfrotto MKBFRA4 bra Befree travel tripod]]. Why?

It is equipped with 1.4 kg a little easier as the Mantona DSLM Travel, but not quite as compact the pack size. Both are similarly stable and offer ball head and quick release plate. The Mantona is much cheaper, but the big but for me were the quick-release fasteners. During the Manfrotto SR buckles simply opens, walking can extend or pushes back, the screw caps of Mantona have so tricky, especially with cold fingers or handling with gloves. This kind of closure I had with my former Cullmann tripod also. At some point it was no longer possible to open the lock so that only the foot extends. Instead, the entire element screwed out and was no longer a walk in his full height available.

Nevertheless, the Mantona is not a bad stand. Small, compact and easy to be dispensed without ball head, level or quick release plate. All together at a very good price-performance ratio. A star I draw from for the type of quick-release fasteners on the legs. Here tell me the solution of [[ASIN: B00COLBNTK Manfrotto MKBFRA4 bra Befree travel tripod]] for more. But this is very subjective.
