1. Rollei Smartphone tripod Traveler
The integrated cameras of the current smartphone generation now offer high resolutions, have excellent optical properties even for dark motif situations and recordvideos with Full HD or even 4K. So that these photographic potentials can really be exploited, even fans of fast and spontaneous snapshots are now increasingly using special tripods in order to take razor-sharp photos and films in impressive quality. The Rollei Smartphone Tripod Traveler was developed exactly for this purpose. To describe a tripod as fully suitable for smartphones, it must have special characteristics. On the one hand it shouldn't weigh too much, on the other hand you simply leave it at home after a while, take pictures "out of hand" again - and do without creative application possibilities. The Rollei Smartphone Tripod Traveler weighs only 600 grams including the video tripod head, but can be extended up to a total height of 120 cm - enough to take wide-angle shots or time-lapse videos without shaking. The enclosed smartphone mount even accommodates the XL or Plus versions of the current premium smartphone models - the tripod has a total carrying capacity of a proud 2,000 g. The included Bluetooth 3.0 shutter release can of course also be used independently of the Rollei Smartphone Tripod Traveler - already works with iOS 5.0 and Android 2.3.6 and allows you wireless and vibration-free releases up to a distance of 10 meters. Of course, the tripod has a 1/4" thread and also holds cameras up to 2 kg as well as all compatible accessories. The integrated spirit level ensures that your photos or videos are always exactly "in alignment".

6. Rollei C6i
Rollei C-Class tripods have earned a very good reputation among professionals and demanding amateurs alike. This is also reflected in the numerous awards and recommendationsfrom well-known media. Carbon fibre reinforced plastic, also known and appreciated as carbon, woven together in a cross shape in several layers, forms the material basis for the highly stable tripod legs. Thanks to the carbon tubes, the total weight of the Rollei C6i tripod has been reduced by a whole quarter. Of course, the stability does not suffer as a result and even benefits from the enormous resistance of carbon in the direction of the fibres. The load-bearing capacity has also not been reduced by a single gram. With a total weight of just over one and a half kilograms, the C6i Carbon carries a proud 12 kg of equipment, which is eight times its own weight, 3D ball head included of course. Rollei tripods are very well equipped as a matter of principle, the C6i Carbon is no exception. The 3D ball head is equipped with a vertical and a horizontal bubble level (spirit level), easy to read even under poor visibility conditions. The ARCASWISS-compatible quick-release plate not only accommodates professional DSLRs - even full-size camcorders can be swivelled through 360°. The centre column has been further developed to meet the needs of passionate macro photographers. With just a few easy steps, you can turn the central column around and get right down to the ground. If you prefer to place your camera configuration at the maximum height of 162.5 cm, you can attach your camera bag or photo backpack to the sturdy central column hooks to further increase stability.
7. Rollei C5i
The award-winning Rollei C5i and C6i tripods are now also available in carbon. By using eight carbon layers, both models saved a quarter of the total weight - withoutsacrificing stability and load capacity. The C5i Carbon tripod now weighs only about one kilogram. But this popular outdoor tripod has not only been further optimised in terms of material. The Rollei C5i Carbon tripod can also be converted into a stable and compact monopod in just a few simple steps. The easy-grip and smooth-running quick-release fasteners allow quick and precise alignment of the entire tripod. The two vials in the tripod head, which serve as spirit levels, help you to align the tripod head. Although carbon itself is already characterized by a very pleasant and well-tempered haptic, the ergonomics of the tripod legs could be further improved by non-slip foam handles. The Rollei C5i Carbon tripod can be used for ground level macro photography by rotating the central column, which is also known as the retro position. The central column damping allows a comfortable and safe locking of the central column element. The components of the Rollei Tripod C5i Carbon offer an ideal combination for long-term exposure specialists. The 3D ball head with vertical and horizontal bubble level carries a total weight of 8 kilograms in every position. More than enough for professional housings with lens, filter holder and filters. The quick-release plate is of course ARCASWISS-compatible and fits into the robust tripod bag with tripod, tripod hook, tools and panorama head.
8. Rollei Compact Traveler Mini M1
It is not only long-term exposures that require a tripod. Macro shots, in which precise focusing in the millimetre range is important, are also only successful ifthe camera can be fixed and cleanly aligned. Despite the undeniable advantages, the tripod is unfortunately often missing when it is most needed. The reason is simple: a solid tripod is bulky and weighs a few kilograms. In the luggage it often doesn't even fit diagonally into the suitcase and on hikes nobody wants to carry around ballast for miles. Conventional travel tripods are smaller and lighter, but do not have the necessary stability for a heavy DSLR or system camera with bright optics. The Compact Traveler Mini M-1 (formerly M5-Mini) combines the advantages of a travel tripod with the carrying capacity of a full-grown tripod. Made of lightweight aluminium, the Compact Traveler Mini M-1 weighs just 800 grams including tripod head. The legs each consist of five segments and can be pushed together to a pack size of 15 cm - the Rollei M5-Mini is thus hardly larger than the palm of a hand. Extended you can reach a working height between 12 and 41 cm, ideal for macro photography, but also to place your camera on walls, a windowsill or a car roof for night shots, group shots with self-timer or panoramas. The Rollei M5-Mini carries at least 8 kg, which is also enough for a SLR camera with a large lens. The set includes a professional ball head that rotates 180 degrees and can be fixed with just one screw. You can easily mount your camera using the supplied quick coupling plate with integrated spirit level for exact horizontal alignment. The tripod legs can be swivelled up and down and the center column can be reversibly mounted - a very important feature for working close to the ground in micro and macro photography. With the Rollei Tripod Compact Traveler Mini M-1 you will never miss a photo opportunity during your holidays or outdoor activities.
