결론에서 가장 고가인 지쪼 트래블러보다 미포토 손을 들어줬네요:

However, if you don't go to these physical extremes in your photography and travels, we feel the MeFoto GlobeTrotter strikes the best balance between packable size, robust build, and generous capacity, with the most reasonable price in this group of three. Any of these three tripods can take larger cameras and lenses when traveling, but the MeFoto inspires the most confidence when doing so, and that's something that goes beyond the specs and marketing blurbs.

유명 메이커이고 비싸다고 다 좋은건 아닙니다.

Gitzo Series 1 Traveler vs. Sirui ET-1204

In one of the more unusual comparisons, the two tripods at either end of the price scale battle it out with similarly thin legs and minimal sizes and weights. When we consider that the new Sirui has lever locks and a budget-oriented design, while the Gitzo has all the latest innovations from decades of refinement, this comparison may not seem entirely apples-to-apples. In any case, the features and functions tell the story.

The solid Gitzo design and a one-piece, cast hub allow for greatly reduced vibrations and lower weight.	The Sirui shares its basic design and many parts with its stablemates, which is not always a bad thing.
Gitzo's single knob, compact head with gigantic quick release leaves a lot to be desired in the head department.	The very basic Sirui dual-knob, compact head works well enough, but has some parts that are too big.

These two tripods have very different ways of doing things (which includes the lever locks vs. twist locks), but end up with almost the same result. The Sirui has a better head and higher load rating, while the Gitzo has 7 more inches in height and rock-solid build quality. Of course, both brands make many other tripods to compare and contrast to, but the tripod to beat in this comparison is the Gitzo Series 1 Traveler. Gitzo simply knows how to make tripods legs with a great combination of engineering and design, backed up with a world-class record of reliability. However, when it comes to compact ball heads, let's just quietly pass on the Gitzo offerings.

In the end, we recommend the non-kit option of the GT1544T legs (~$600) and a full-featured travel head, perhaps even one of Sirui's excellent ball heads, such as the K-10x. Yes, the Gitzo is an expensive proposition, but it may be the last travel tripod (of this size) you'll need to buy. We've no doubt the Sirui is an excellent choice for many, but when it comes to light-duty travel tripods, the original is still the best.
