    I have several Manfrotto products... some of which cost 5 times more than this one. It's simply an excellent tri=pod for the money. The best part is it uses the same release plate as my more expensive models.

    A perfectly light-weight design that fits anywhere you go and provides the functionality you deserve. I really like this tripod for the high precision mounting base it has. You can feel the strength and the security of it's structure and his construction. With it's solidity, putting your camera and leaving it there for a long time it's not any problem.

    Works great. Holds a canon dslr with a 300mm tele lens. The only negative is the two handles can be a pia to use. Once you do it a couple times it becomes easy.

    I'm loving this tripod. For real. Wish I would've purchased it much soon. Old tripod broke within a couple months. I've had this one for a few weeks and it's still like brand new.

    So this is clearly not Manfrotto's best tripod, but for the price it's great. Light, portable, and solid. Relatively smooth panning and good control. Overall a good purchase.

    This tripod is sturdy and precise. Don't waste money buying a cheap tripod. It will crack eventually and you'll be back shopping. Get a quality piece of equipment like this.

    The only thing I REALLY wish it had was a leveler so you can make sure your shot is straight in a jiffy. But I love how easy to use and light weight it is.. I trust it with my Canon 5D Mark iv. I'm a beginner so right now I would just use it for still photography and static video shots.. very easy panning and tilting

    This is a pretty decent tripod for the price. It's a bit heavy to lug around all the time, but is small enough to be very transportable.

    Excellent tripod for hikes

    It is very light weight so easy to carry around when hiking and it is sturdy. For the money you get a great value. I also like the fact that it is tall enough so I don;t have to bend over all the time to see what I take a picture off. I am 6.1". It is probably to light weight to do night photography with extreme exposure times.

    Had I known tripods could be this easy to use, I'd have given up on my old one a long time ago. It's sturdy, without being excessively heavy, and simple to adjust. It's not going to hold a heavy camera with a huge lens, but it's perfect for the amateur photographer.
