BEST Travel Tripod of 2025: SHOWDOWN!

In just a few days, Annette and I are off to Poland and Switzerland—and I need to decide which travel tripod earns a spot in my bag. So I put 8 tripods head-to-head in a massive comparison, testing 29 different data points like setup speed, stability, weight, ballhead performance, height range, and bonus features. I’ll be awarding Best Value, Best Stability, Best Versatility, Best Portability, and of course… Best Overall.

Whether you're a photographer, filmmaker, or casual traveler, this breakdown should help you find the right tripod for your needs. And if you want to geek out on the full spreadsheet, it's linked below.
