For photographers who like to travel light, Tamrac has introduced the ZipShot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a very small and lightweight tripod. <\/p>\n Weighing less than a pound and only 15″ long when folded, it’s easy to carry.<\/p>\n Alana, the rep for Tamrac is showing me how the compact ZipShot easily unfolds for setup.\n<\/td>\n If you’ve set up a camping tent that uses fiberglass shock-cords, then you’ll understand how the ZipShot works. <\/p>\n It has aluminum legs that stand 44″ above the ground and has a heavy duty ball head.<\/p>\n Alana told me that the ZipShot can be used with equipment weighing up to 3 pounds so it won’t be useful for long, heavy telephoto lenses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n She also showed me the Quick-Release accessory kit for the ZipShot.<\/p>\n Place the base to the ZipShot’s ball head and you can quickly attach\/detach your camera to the tripod.<\/p>\n Price of the ZipShot (TR406) is about $59. The Quick-Release kit (A120) sells for $20.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tamrac’s very compact tripod For photographers who like to travel light, Tamrac has introduced the ZipShot.
