Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had high hopes for this being a Manfrotto, after reading many reviews for various tripods I thought Manfrotto was a brand name that could be trusted. The tripod is very slick and looks very nice. The legs are very stable and easy to operate. Where this tripod fails greatly is in the design of the tightening bolts on the fluid head. They go from totally tight to all the way lose in 1/4 of a turn which limits your ability to have it finely adjusted. Also the tightening bolt that tightens the up and down movement doesn't get all the way tight, it seems like the bolt is not long enough. Because of these reasons and the price of the tripod I returned it. My search continues.

I like the build quality of this tripd and the features that allow to adjust heights and rotate. I do think the head is a little stiffer than I like, which is why I'm not giving 5 stars. I also like the way the legs extend, they are much more sturdy than some others I've used. I am very happy with it, though, and can see using it far into the future.

I bought a cheap tripod without a fluid head and my videos were choppy. This tripod solved that issue for me. If you are serious about shooting video, using a tripod is a must. I would definetly recommend a fluid head tripod. Manfrotto to me is a solid brand for tripods. I own a non fluid head made by manfrotto and it is great for taking pictures.

Absolutely love the Manfrotto plate. I have never used a tripod that had a better camera locking mechanism for such a fair price. However, this tripod does not have a leveler which is a bit disappointing. Expect to pay about $50 more if that is important to you. My camera has a built in level view, so it is not that big of a deal to me, but to others I must warn you.

Tripod works very well for the price of this item. The video head is very fluid indeed which makes it easier to film. A bit heavier than what I would like but still it is a great piece of equipment.

Sturdy, light, easy to use. Works as expected for a manfrotto tripod. Only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star is because a piece fell off. I easily enough put it back in place though. Other than that, great product.

Great medium duty tripod for video or photo shoots on location. Portable, easy to carry. On my nature or trail projects I would strap it to my gadget bag or backpack. Small enough to keep in my car when not in use.

Very durable Atropos perfect for those heavy DSLR cameras! Easy swivel head makes shooting video and repositioning a breeze! Light weight so you can take it anywhere! Worth the price! I love it!

This is an excellent tripod for use with a camera or a spotting scope when bird watching. The fluid head assures a smooth horizontal adjustment It is lightweight so easy to carry

Purchased a new Nikon D7500 DSLR camera and needed a new tripod. The AM at Best Buy in Danbury matched the price for me on a similar one on sale at Amazon and it was well worth every penny.

easy to use and has the feel of a very well made product which it is. Firm, locking extensions on legs of tripod and very smooth rotation of camera mount and base. Good balance.

For $200+ you get a decent lightweight tripod, but the fluid head description is a stretch. If you need truly fluid pans and tilts, look into a heavier duty manfroto.

It's sturdy, reliable, professional, and it works great for pans. I love it and cannot believe I didn't buy one sooner.

Seems like an ok tripod. Will work great for what I need it for. In my opinion it may be too pricey for what it is.

Very fluid in in its movements and it locks together very well. Collapses easily for portage and storage in the car.

I would highly recommend this. The movement is fluid in it and the ability to use the plate going from this tripod to other mounts makes for quick easy changes.

We needed a lightweight tripod to carry along in case we needed it. This has worked out well for us. Nice, fluid head for video panning. Very pleased with this purchase.

I have used this tripod for a while now and I love it. It’s strong but light and gets the job done wherever you need it to

Great price. Great to transport. Lightweight and versatile for recording or still photos.

I chose this tripod because of the flipping lockers, I did not want the kind you twist, too much hassel. Tripod has treated me well so far.
