    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.

    This is a fantastic tripod, hands down. Light enough to carry around but not so light that you would worry about putting your $1000+ photography equipment on it. My only little gripe is the mechanism to camera base is a little weird between sliding, button release, and screw fastener it was a little confusing to figure out which way was front and back. I got it, but it took a few minutes of fiddling.

    The tripod itself is pretty good quality. Panning it left and right is smooth, but panning the camera up and down is not easy. It doesn’t matter how tight or loose you make it, we have not been able to find that “sweet spot” to give us better control without the video looking jerky.

    The Manfrotto 290 Tripod is a nice tripod. I like the fluid head for panning when shooting videos. The legs can be adjusted and locked easily. The tripod has a quick release plate to remove and mount the camera as needed. I did not like the minimum height as it was too long to carry in a 15.6 inch travel backpack. It is also was heavy for me at almost 4 lbs. and did include a travel bag.

    This thing is a lil heavy but, wow, it works good. The legs and thier locks work like a dream, one handed and the head makes great buttery smooth video. Have a try at it. I highly recomend it.

    Bought this when I was out of town on a job and discovered I was one tripod short! Intended to return it the following week but it turned out to be such a great little tripod for events I decided to add it to my collection. It will be going with me from now on. Fluid head works very well for that price range and I like the way the locks work on the legs.

    This tripod is strong, durable, and versatile for camera needs. I used this tripod for a live-streaming event and the smooth control this tripod provides allowed me to capture some really clean panning shots. 10/10 recommend!
