    I use this to shoot videos from work. Needed a steady tall stand, so that I could also be in my professional videos. Have had for a few weeks now, hasn’t let me down at all yet.

    This is my first ever Tripod, and it’s everything that I wanted in one. Folds up nice and small and is very lightweight. Love the handle on it. Makes adjustments super quick and easy.

    Needed a tripod in a hurry. This was the only option available. At this price point, it’s a decent Tripp’s for mirroless cameras. Sturdy enough for my Fuji and most lenses. The legs are a bit flimsy and the legs have a limited range, so you can’t very low angles easily. The pistol ball head is okay to use but not well made. I would not recommend this tripod I’d you have a DSLR or plan to shoot from low angles.

    Awesome product from Manfrotto. Actually this is my second Manfrotto tripod, but this one is pretty portable and compact. Also it has many configurations available from that handy handle. The wheel mechanism is smooth and tight and helps me change from stationary to movable in a zip. Also the handle helps a lot to easily change from landscape to portrait without any hassle. The cellphone clip was a great addition.

    I am not a expert photographer but needed a tripod because after covid i don't ask any strangers to take a picture of my family so this tripod is necessity for me. I used it for one trip and it was really nice that i can quickly setup the tripod and frame it then use remote shutter to take pictures, worked perfectly. It is also easy of use because of the quick release button which i kept it attached to the camera itself. I got it for $49+tax which is the lowest i have seen for this model with bestbuy

    Is really compact, can extend height quite a lot. I would've liked a horizontal bubble, but I'll look for one with it next time. The attachment mechanism is easy to use.

    This tripod has all the features, and then some. The only additional feature that would make it even more perfect would be a level, or maybe two - one for each horizontal plane. But for what it does have, it is great. All the adjustment buttons are decent quality, making it easy to secure your camera. I love that the legs have four adjustment sections. And the added bonus of being able to raise the center "post" even higher if necessary. Another great "extra" is that it includes a mountable holder for a smart phone. Finally, I love the large handle that allows the user to easily pan the camera.

    Purchased with the intention of using with iPad. When mounted and at a basketball game, the adjustable legs make it very easy to adapt to the awkward bleachers in gyms. It is very lightweight and flexible. Instructions could be a little better.
