I have taken my my Sirui carbon travel tripod to the UK/Ireland, Italy and China/Japan in the last couple of years. I will certainly take it to Antarctica at the end of the year. The high ISO capabilities of modern digital cameras are quite remarkable, and my hand-held stability is pretty good, but there are still plenty of times that the desired shot can't really be done any other way.
It's so small and light it's a trivial carry above all the other gear I'm lugging.
Some examples:
Calming the raging seas at mid day with a neutral density filter long exposure
When you want base ISO despite a lack of light
Or blurring those pesky tourists out of your shot ;)
Starbursts in low light
When you want to sneak into a carefully framed shot |
