However, some users experienced challenges with the panning feature, the lack of a built-in level, and the phone holder's stability. Concerns were also raised regarding the tripod head's maneuverability and the reliability of the locking mechanism.

    I own a lot of photo equipment. This tripod is junk. It is too lightweight and poorly built. Collapses under its own weight.

    A Must Have Tripod!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A must have for a photographer of any level. The ease of use and ability to angle the camera for the shot, makes this a necessary item. I'm such a fan, I'll even strap it to my backpacking pack, so I can get some backcountry photos!

    Sturdiness

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Excellent quality, balance of strength and weight

    Excellent for smartphones and compact point-and-shoot cameras. Good balance of sturdiness and weight. Leg-locks are smooth and sure. The handle's wheel-lock, in a single motion, holds both tilt and pan positions. In short, it's intelligently designed, solidly built, and works well. It was packed appropriately in an additional outer carton. It was shipped quickly and arrived in two days. All in all, a very good purchase.

    This is an excellent tripod. Not just because it is in the lower end of the price but simply because it’s sturdy and strong

    Ok Tripod

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently got a new camera and it's a bit on the heavier side so I was told to get a good tripod, the Manfrotto was recommended so I got one. It's a good tripod but I don't like the wheel tightening system on it.. it doesn't hold my camera tightly and lets it move up or down when I'm trying to take a picture with the lens extended out.
