Worked Perfectly!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed this tripod to record a series of videos with my iphone for an upcoming workshop. It worked perfectly! Be careful when you open the box, the mobile adapter comes loose on the box. I was about to return the tripod because it didn't include the adapter as shown on the box, long story short, found it at the bottom of the box when I was about to repackage for return. Make sure you turn the box upside down for the adapter to fall off and place it inside the bag. Is a sturdy and stable which what I needed for a more professional, no shaking, look.

Great for any normal consumer camera
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, and perfect for a small to medium size camera but probably too small for something like a C70. But I use a m50 ii and it’s very close to perfect.

Perfect for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sturdy and at a great price point. Fits my needs as a beginner and my indoor use. Haven't used it outdoors yet though so can't comment on how it'll handle uneven terrain.

Lightweight but sturdy tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never had a Manfrotto tripod but am aware of their reputation. I needed a lightweight small tripod for occasional use with my Sony a6000 or Osmo Mobile 2. I don't think that this tripod would be substantial enough for heavy cameras with long lenses, but for lightweight use it is perfect as it folds up small and compact. I'm not crazy about the mounting method as the tripod comes with one adapter. They are crazy expensive so it kind of defeats the purpose of being able to change cameras quickly. I'll live with this as I probably won't need to change cameras during any given shoot. I like the ball head and locking mechanism. It is quick to adjust and holds securely

Exceeded my expectations, would buy again.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I realized six hours in to a ten hour trip to the desert that I'd forgotten my tripod. Best Buy was a thirty minute detour and the last option, so I stopped in and got this Manfrotto compact tripod. I wasn't expecting much but I'm very pleased with it. The legs feel very stable. The rotating head is great, feels like a high quality piece of equipment, and I love the button that attaches to the camera as opposed to the plate. I use a small mirrorless, so it's perfect for that size camera body. Would purchase again, definitely

Great tripod for on the go.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this tripod for my wife for Christmas. Since then she uses it all the time. We have a big family so she is always taking pictures. A good thing with with tripod is the carry case it comes with. So after you use it you can fold it back down and put it in the case for easy transport. Another cool feature is the various accessories it comes with. You can mount your camera or your cell phone. My only concern with the tripod is the swivel system of the camera mount. It uses a type of roller ball that tighten and loosen it up. I understand the design for it as it's easy for video bloggers to move and capture stuff. It just doesn't seem it will last long over a period of time. Other than that a good sturdy tripod that's good for someone who is on the go.

Great but the head is a little finicky
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tripod is great especially for the price. However the head is a little annoying. The fast grip and adjustment is a great idea but it comes loose very easily. I almost dropped my camera when it loosened a few times

Nice tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an amateur photographer, taking photographs around 20 years. I got this at the Black Friday around 50 bucks. As I moved to Seattle, I didn't bring my tripod. So I thought that it would be the right time for me to get a new one, and this was the best choice for me, in terms of robustness and cost efficiency. I use this with my Canon EOS 60D and G9, and the stability when using it is pretty good. Love it!

The lucky draw of the pick
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to run in and buy a solid tripod for my Fuji, I had a family picture to take and I honestly just grabbed this and left. After using it and later researching it, I can see why so many love this brand. I’m honestly lucky I even grabbed a good one. Being in the desert gets windy so this stood its ground and provided comfortability. Would I post it on windy conditions more…? Absolutely not lol don’t want to test my luck too much but it’s a solid tripod.
