Think of a genre of photographic accessory, and there’s probably a Neewer option (or several) available to buy. The company has been going since 2011, expanding its product lines with a wide variety of studio and location lighting kits, video gear, lens filters, tripods and more. The LiteTrip LT38 that I’m reviewing here aims to take on some of the best travel tripods, competing with the biggest names in the business.

Neewer LiteTrip LT38: Price
Manfrotto might well be the first name that springs to mind when you think of tripods but some of the most innovative and exciting travel tripods on the market come from other makers. I’d include the 3 Legged Thing Leo 2.0 + AirHead Pro and the Peak Design Travel Tripod on my hit list. The Neewer goes in to bat against both of these versatile and very travel-friendly tripods. If we stick with carbon fiber across the board, the Neewer costs a bit less than the 3 Legged Thing and only about half as much as the Peak Design, with a list price of $300 / £286 / AU$460. Ultimately, it’s certainly not cheap to buy but I reckon it’s still good value.
