    I like this tripod. I wish the legs were a little bit thicker. I can see how they would become dented easily. I also wish the head was a little more fluid but I am satisfied with this purchase, especially the price.

    I was expecting some smooth motion side-to-side, as 95 percent of my videos use only this action. Unfortunately, it limited me to a loose setting that gave me smooth motion, but actually introduced a wobble to the camera, or a tighter setting that was limited in range of sweep and had a hitch that demanded more force to move past a point and affected the smooth motion desired. Returned it.

    Twist nob for side to side movements is not the best. Fluid head is nice. But the legs are kind thin for a nice tripod. Don’t know if it will hold up longer than 6 months

    Not what you would expect from a Manfroto tripod. Comparing to higher end versions it is lacking by quite a bit. it is basically equivalent to other $60-$70 tripods but up charged for the name I feel. Pan screw was broken out of the box and will only tighten enough to slow it down but does not lock completely. was looking for a smaller lighter tripod to carry with versus the larger manfroto i have but I will not be trusting my R6 on top of this unfortunately
