I recently purchased the excellent Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera and am now looking for a suitable tripod. As I plan to use the camera for landscape and night photography while traveling, stability and portability are my top concerns. My budget is around $600.
If anyone has experience using a tripod with the a7 IV, please share your recommendations! I'd prefer carbon fiber or aluminum construction. A ball head seems easiest to compose shots quickly. Ideal features are smooth pan/tilt controls, quick release plate, and ability to hold at least 8 lbs capacity. Let me know which travel tripods have worked well for you when paired with the a7 IV. Thanks!

If portability and stability are your top priorities for a tripod to pair with your Sony a7 IV, look no further than the Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod. Weighing only 2.81 lbs, this lightweight yet sturdy tripod offers impressive stability thanks to its carbon fiber construction. It packs down impressively small but extends to a maximum height of 60 inches. Rapid one-handed deployment and adjustment make this tripod extremely convenient for on-the-go shooting. Despite the compact size when folded, the tripod can securely hold up to 20 lbs of camera gear. So you’ll have no issues mounting your a7 IV with a variety of lenses. For photographers who demand stellar performance in a portable package, the Peak Design tripod is a superb choice.
