I’m only giving it two stars because I really like this tripod a lot, right up until the point it broke while on a shoot less than a year after buying it. Went to flip the legs around and found the latches are no longer catching appropriately. Seems the little tension mechanisms they use wore out on two of the legs. Since this is my second one in two years, I’m just going to give up on Manfrotto.

I have been looking for a reasonally priced tripod, and this fits just right for what I wanted to spend and the quality of the tripod. It is built very well, can convert to a mono pod. It is not the lightest for travel, but it works to me. The ball head seems to be able to support my full frame camera and long lens. This works well for steady tripod work.

I purchased for stability of a 70-200mm lens and camera. It is very sturdy and supported the weight. Easily switches to monopod.
