Which tripod - and where to put it on the bike?

[Jerome]

Hi,

I travel with a tripod even though I don´t use it that often. There is no substitute.

1 What tripod?

- the size of the tripod depends on what weight camera + lenses you are using:
- Mini, Compact or normal (3 or 4 leg sections).
- what closed length?

2 What Budget?

- how serious are you about your photos?
- strong, stable and expensive or cheaper, less stable and heavier/lighter?

3 Where?

I put mine in its bag on top of one of the panniers.

The side ones in the great photo above, although low, maybe vulnerable to being squashed falling over. (I drop my bike alot)

fwiw I use a manfrotto 444 tripod and arca swiss b1 head.
