The maximum working height is 134 cm, on three legs the travel tripod can be adjusted to a minimum of 32 cm, when the legs are “turned over” in the macro tripod position, an effective height of 0 cm is achieved. Alternatively, the photographers turn the center column around. Remarkable are the stability of the metal legs and their convenient fixation via rotary clamps, which allows the assembly to be carried out in a flash. Users achieve the greatest stability if they do not extend the lowest part of the legs, which is very thin (1 cm in diameter), but this costs 22 cm in height.

"Finally there is a stylish tripod that is really suitable for sports on the market, the Rollei company has taken on our need and because I have applied to fotoMAGAZIN as a tester, the kit manager and I are allowed to put it through its paces. The Rollei Compact Traveler No.1 is really extraordinarily light and still offers all the possibilities that we hoped for from a tripod.”
Uli Geißler from Fürth, freelance journalist and photographer, says about the Compact Traveler No. 1:
"A travel tripod is clearly a compromise between weight, pack size, working height, function and adjustment options. The "Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1" therefore represents a very good compromise, because the processing quality and the practical handling for the implementation of photographic requirements are excellent and the price is also reasonable."
