Bought this over 2 years ago and it’s still going strong. It was an open box one so the bottom section of one leg only goes most of the way in. Leaves maybe half an inch out, otherwise no complaints. Still as easy to set up as Day 1. There’s been no issues with any of the screws or ligaments. It’s fallen a few times but has no wear to show for it. Fits in a bigger book bag or most standard-sized suitcases, which has come in handy for travel. I highly recommend it if you’re in the market for one.

Let me start by saying there is one main reason I got this tripod over others that Manfrotto makes, I like this brand. But the reason I got this exact one is because of the way that the legs extend, its not twist tighten where you have to screw the piece on the legs over and over to adjust its just a simple click open and close to set up or take down! - Build Quality - This is a great tripod and works very well for the reason I got it. Now that being said its not the most heavy duty tripod out there but I got this for mobility and to still be sturdy. Along with the speed of those clips for adjusting the legs in and out! So far its good and I like the way that they set up the mount so it's easy on and off with which ever device you're using. The adjustable moving head with twist knob and handle may take a moment to get use to but is still good quality. - Use and ability - This thing does what I want its a quick release leg system. The height for just about anything is there and you can go one step over the legs if you need to move up and down its got a bar set up to slide higher, which works and give more height. It is also light enough that I can strap it to the underside off my camera back pack and not really notice it, while still being heavy enough I'm not going to break it or worry about it falling over really. The handle by your camera works well but I will say isn't great for like panning shots, but I don't think its meant for this its just to adjust shooting angles quickly. As I said before the mount to the camera system is great and so quick to get on and off any device! Theres one other thing the top part that slides up and down actually comes off there so I guess if you wanted that could be used to hold your camera or device with out having it on the tripod? Thats honestly it for a tripod I think almost anyone will be happy with the quality of this product and I think is should hold up for quite a while! Oh and it comes with the camera clip and you can mount your camera right to the tripod with out getting anything else! thats cool ... Thanks for reading hope you like this thing if you get it because of my review, I enjoy mine and actually use it about everyday. ** that second photo with my hand in there is just showing you what will screw into the bottom of your camera, device, or that phone mount fo the quick release... if you have never owned one of these before**

We love this tripod for our Production Company. This piece of equipment is perfect for us on quick shoots, in many locations, if we are on the go. It’s light but sturdy. We have two of these and they are affordable and dependable. Heartfeltproductions.Vegas
