Concerns were also raised regarding the tripod head's maneuverability and the reliability of the locking mechanism.

    The quality and solid build of the Manfrotto tripod is exceptional. I replaced a lesser quality tripod with the Manfrotto and have been very happy with the ease of adjustment compared to my previous tripod. The tripod also comes with a cellphone holder that really comes in handy.

    This tripod works great. It locks tightly in place, yet is easy to move the camera with a touch of the wheel on the handle. We are able to smoothly move from one place to another during a live stream broadcast of our worship service without any jerkiness or drag.

    Excellent tripod. Very easy to use. Quick and easy lock operation on the legs makes setup, even on uneven terrain, a snap! The cell phone mount makes it even more versatile by allowing you to brace your phone while making videos or zoom calls....

    This tripod is pretty different compared to a traditional tripod as far as mounting goes, and does not feel as secure as a regular plate mount. It also doesn’t have a level bubble or anything. Not a huge fan and ended up giving it to the person I sold my last camera to.

    This is the best tripod I have used. The hight and balance is amazing on this. I also like the option of the camera mount being detachable. The trigger wheel to set up your camera is also a really nice add on. I wouldn't waste time buying another tripod and just say buy this one and you wont regret it.

    I have an IPhone 11 Pro Max and this tripod is perfect right out of the box. Makes recording my daughter’s AAU basketball games easy and seem less. Also works well with spacing requirements in the social distancing era we are in. Nimble, comfortable and easy to use!

    This was my first time purchasing a Manfrotto product, and I was highly satisfied. This tripod is very sturdy and sleek. It gets the job done. The carrying bag was exceptional quality. I’m looking forward to purchasing another Manfrotto product really soon.

    I bought this as an easy "set it and forget it" tripod. The grip is decent enough to work with, but I would not recommend this for smooth panning shots or anything that involves actively moving the ball had. Works great to adjust quickly for locked off shots, however!

    Just what I needed. The tripod height adjustability is great. Really like the ability to use the 'handle' to swivel up/down and move with the action. Plan to use at the races; would be good for any sporting event.
