    Easy to use and very efficient. I like That it’s extendable and have the rolling motion, or lock system for my camera. The holder for the phone is also great. Really good but no complaints.

    I have been though a lot of tripods and this by far, is my favorite. Panning and tilting is smooth and I love the trigger handle.

    Absolutely love how easy it is to attach my camera to the tripod. Adjusting the height is as simple as flipping some tabs and pulling to the height you want. Great item for anyone with a camera who wants to have still shots and have that extra assistance while taking pictures.

    I bought it out of an emergency in a trip and it didn’t let me down. It took me a minute to figure the mount but once I got it the rest was easy

    Works great, takes a little time to get used to the function if you’ve used older tripods but once you start using it, it is nice and smooth when following kids sporting events

    Easy to use , comes with a cellphone adapter to mount it into the tripod. Perfect for taking family portraits or to zoom into and take a non blurry picture while using with the wireless remote.

    Needed a tripod quick. Good deal, fast shipping, happy with the order, and happy with BestBuy. I always try to buy Manfrotto, they're the best as far as I am concerned.

    Not great instructions when you are using with cell phone, which is whyI purchased. I was able to figure it out, with a few days of trial and error. Wish it was a quicker set up, but it's still nice and does the job or videoing sports games.

    Great tripod with super easy on and off thanks to the quick release system this tripod comes with! Has a small circular screw on piece that stays on the camera for easy mounting when needed!

    The trigger and wheel approach is different than most tripods, but works really well. The base screw approach is also very well thought out. Cell phone attachment also works well. Highly recommended.

    I've had this for a couple years. I don't use it very often. It works great for what it is. If your gear is too heavy it will fold up on you. I got it on sale for about $10 off.

    This is a good back up tripod. When extended all the way the legs are flimsy. I never leave my camera on it unsupervised. Has a cellphone holder and is great for cell phones and small cameras.

    Durable legs with smooth operation. The head has a nice fluid motion and the camera stabilizer lock feature is a plus. Nice to have a quick change plate and the cell phone cradle as well. The storage bag does it's job.

    This is ideal if you don't ever plan on moving your camera or camcorder. You will have a hard time trying to use it as a moving tripod. It is very sturdy. It has a easy quick release.

    I gave away my other tripod to get this one and I’m glad I did! If you’re hesitant to get this tripod, just get it. You won’t regret it at all!
