Low weight, portability and ease of use are not words and phrases used to describe the average mid-size tripod, but the Tamrac ZipShot is designed to satisfy all three requirements.

Is this lightweight, easy-to-assemble tripod the answer to a travelling photographer's prayers? Read our quick review to find out.
