Lightweight and sturdy!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great value for the quality of this tripod! I feel like this isn't sturdy enough for strong winds, but then again, I don't ever see myself using this if there are strong winds passing by. But this is a great light weight travel friendly tripod for those who are on a budget!

Compact and Flexible

Easy snap In, Good Height, Decently Stable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what this product is intended for I find it perfect. The swivel head works great for video and would probably do fine with smaller dslr or mirrorless caneras. If you are planning on using this as a tripod for photography keep in mind the face plate isnt designed for arca swiss or an L bracket attatchment. As far as a video camera goes the small circular lock is so simple to use its great. Also you can remove the center column easily if you wanted to ditch the legs and use as a monopod. The actual tripod legs are quite lights but have yet to have a gust blow this over. Good solid product

A little flimsy but gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent tripod. Not professional grade of course, but very sufficient for most applications. My only comment is the ball system which should have steps to make it easier to level, but that's a standard problem throughout the Manfrotto line.

NOT recommended for long zoom.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a short, to mid-range tripod, this works fairly well. The pistol grip is nice, but the locking mechanism is not very reliable, for longer zoom. Because of the longer lens, the head needs to be locked a little tighter, to support the weight. Doing so the camera drifts from where you lock it, to where it settles. Usually losing the subject. Frame is very sturdy, mount is a little different, but works well. Holds very steady, at shorter distances, but at higher zoom, is hard to get locked on subject. Nikon D900
