Manfrotto - Compact Action Smart 61" Tripod - Black

I bought this tripod to fit in my suitcase for a recent trip to New England. Shot pix in Plymouth and Gloucester, MA and Bath and Bar Harbor, Maine. The tripod was easy to set up for each shot and worked very well with my Nikon D300S. Got lots of great shots! ! !

We were first time users for a tripod and I LOVE this one! We got it to take our own pictures with our Canon - PowerShot SX740 HS 20.3-Megapixel Digital Camera!! It was so easy to use and because of the excellent stabilization it offered we were able to capture professional level photography pictures for us just being amateurs :)) love that it has cell phone option capability too :)) the pictures attached, we used the tripod for :) also love that it comes with a bag to carry it in!

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**

It's been DECADES since I bought a new tripod. This tripod has shown me what I've been missing out on -- The "pistol-grip" adjustment of the camera mount makes getting everything level and locked in super easy. The legs, NOT being 'round and twist down' adjustments make setup fast and easy, and much less likely to fail with use. It folds to a really compact size, and even comes with a carry bag. This was a great addition to my photography equipment!

When everything went Corona, I found this tripod VERY helpful. Just set the height and snap your phone in and you're ready to go. It also has a screw pod to attach an external camera or video cam. All three legs are adjustable in varying heights and tilt is easily adjustable as well. Highly recommended!!!

Great tripod for travelers. Light to carry. I added a Arca swiss plate so i can use it to my other camera.

There are so many heights and configurations you can do with this tripod including inverting the cellphone quick release for a perfect aerial / overhead shot which is perfect for my art timelapse recordings and product photoshoots. This tripod has made my life so much easier. A bonus is how sturdy and also lightweight it is. Manfrotto did not disappoint!

Bought to use with my iPhone 11 Pro plus. I video my sons playing football from the stands and this adjusts to the different levels easily. No jerky movements when I move left to right tracking their plays. Light weight and small enough to carry in a small bag that Comes with It.
