The world’s lightest one-click deploy camera tripod fits in a carry-on suitcase but sets up in seconds
Coman is bringing its quick-deploy leg system into the world of travel tripods with the new Coman T1 Mini
The Coman T1 Mini is a revolutionary travel tripod that packs a powerful punch in a lightweight, portable design. Weighing just 3.5 lbs / 1.6 kg, this ultra-lightweight tripod fits comfortably in a carry-on suitcase, making it ideal for on-the-go photographers and videographers. The T1 Mini's standout feature is its one-touch leg deploy system, which allows users to quickly set up the tripod in just three seconds.
Each of the four leg sections is equipped with a lever that deploys all sections simultaneously, providing stability and height in seconds. The tripod boasts modular capabilities, including an extension port, a MagSafe phone mount, and an extension that transforms it into a versatile light stand. Built from carbon fiber and aerospace-grade aluminum, the Coman T1 Mini offers impressive strength and durability in a compact package.
At 62.8 inches / 1.595m, it reaches a maximum working height, just two inches shorter than its larger sibling, the T1 S. Weighing a mere 13.23 lbs / 6 kg, the Mini supports lighter gear compared to its counterpart, which can handle up to 44.1 lbs / 20 kg. The tripod's innovative design includes an Arca-Swiss-compatible quick-mount system, supporting 360-degree panoramic rotation and seamless switching between horizontal and vertical shooting.
Additionally, the T1 Mini comes with three 1/4-inch ARRI ports for attaching accessory arms, and an optional magnetic quick-release plate allows for simultaneous mounting of a camera and a smartphone. An extension allows the tripod to function as a taller light stand, providing greater flexibility when shooting. With its sleek black, silver, or army green finishes, the Coman T1 Mini is set to revolutionize the way photographers and videographers travel, offering unmatched portability and functionality in a single, lightweight package.
The tripod is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter, with pledges starting at $280 / £210 / AU$396 / CA$391, representing a significant discount from the expected retail price.
