    I am giving this an average rating only because I returned this item. It came defective and when I returned it they no longer had this item in stock. I love Manfrotto products! I have to wait until they receive more. It's worth it.

    The reason is because it was limited to what you could do with it, at the moment it was he only tripod at the store. It seem cheaply made, I got a better one on amazon and returned this one just because it didn’t do what I needed. For the price I think it was ok

    Athough fairly good function, the construction quality does not justify the $200 price tag.

    There is a fair bit of play in the head that I did not expect and makes for challenging attempts at smooth shots. Don't love it. Rest of tripod is well made and executed.

    It is good tripod. Only thing I noticed the the fluid head tightening up and making hard to control the camera.

    It's good for my Canon EOS 5DS, but with a battery grip attached, it's best to get something beefier.

    Not the normal quality I would expect from Manfroto. It feels cheap and flimsy for the price, really only good for a point and shoot or cellphone. There are better value tripods for the price, stay away from this one.
