Hi All,
Im looking to get a tripod. One that is sturdy but is small and light enough for me to carry on board airplane.

I was looking at Manfrotto element light or a Befree aluminum. I have a Canon 80d and 17-70 lens. Both fold up small enough. My current tripod is quite heavy a slik which has been good but just to heavy.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks
