Customer Ratings & Reviews

They are lots of good camera tripods on the market... But i wanted the best, For me Manfroto makes the best... manfrotto manufacturers their tripods and all their products in Italy, it doesn't get any better than that. Plus I enjoy shopping at Best Buy and I feel that it's very important to support the big box stores along with the mom and pop stores, because of online companies like Amazon, Amazon has put so many great stores out of business. And if there's something that I need and Best Buy has it whether in the store or online I will purchase from Best Buy. I love coming into the store because I'm old school and I want to be able to see see the item be able to touch it. But I will definitely bye online only from Best Buy. And one last thing the store that I go into as great customer service.

Excellent product, I was lucky enough to get mine at open box price and what a steal. Sturdy af, light af, simple to use.

The Manfrotto 290 Tripod with Fluid Video Head delivers excellent stability and solid build quality — it stands firm for both photo and video work and feels dependable during shoots. However, the fluid head is the weak point. I’ve purchased two of these, and both developed the same issue — the head starts to feel loose after some use, almost like the glue or internal mechanism gives out. This results in unwanted movement and makes precise panning difficult. After doing some research, it seems other users have run into the same problem with this head design. It’s a shame because the tripod itself is great, but the fluid head holds it back — especially considering the price. For what it costs, you’d expect a much more durable and consistent performance.

This tripod is absolutely amazing. I love the fluid head adjustability and it's lightweight portableness and functionality.

Works great. Light weight and sturdy. Head great for smooth movement. Wished there was a way to lever the head independent of the legs, but otherwise works great with my current camera equipment. The price point is really good too.

I love it. This stand exceed the expectations of what I was looking. Absolutely love it

Easy to use, and very steady. I dont like the design of the twist legs.

I needed a tripod in a pinch for my Nikon. The fluid head on here is great for smooth videos. It is conpact and lightweight. It will get regular usage from me

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.

Bought this while I was traveling, gets the job done. This is a good tripod head for photo and it’s okay for video if you are just tilting back and forth. Not good for panning .

I have been using cheap tripods for years and this one is s game changer. The build quality is excellent and sturdy. The fluid head works great. The only downside is that it does not come with a carrying case. Highly recommended.

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!

Tried several different tripods before settling on this one. It's super light and durable. No issues with connections slipping like the other ones I'd tried. Highly recommend for on the go work!

Strong, heavy, you pay for what you get in Camera gear!

It is light and pans smoothly. The only concern is if you have a heavy lens since the tripod itself is light, there may be some extra care not to have your camera fall over. If you are traveling with the tripod, it is nice because it is light.

I needed a tripod for my camera so I bought this one it works great

I use this tripod with my N4 Mk3 nodal ninja rotula and works fabulous

A little pricey for what comes included but very stable. Could use a couple more ways to tighten or loosen for panning purposes.

I have an older Bogen 3040 tripod that has served me well for over 45 years, but it is too heavy to carry in the field. The Manfrotto is a great light-weight tripod that is compact, but sturdy.

We have been very pleased with this product. It is very sturdy and strong and easy to use.
