Customer Ratings & Reviews

This tripod is nice lightweight easy to use. I use it with a Sony a6000 so it holds the camera well and is easy to adjust.

This is a great tripod. Very easy to use and useful!

This tripod is super sturdy and great for cameras and phones.

This tripod is about the best you can get for features and flexibility without getting into a price range for professional gear. The mounting head supports still shot cameras and video cameras. It also has a mount for phones, which can be really helpful, especially with groups of people who may all want to use their own device. It comes with a travel bag and it is compact. I'll be bringing this with me when I fly and I can even fit it in my carry-on.

Very light. Compact. Good quality! You can never go wrong.

I bought this to take on vacation and it served well. Light, portable, and a small foot print when packing. Sturdy enough to place hold a DSLR and comes with a phone holder accessory. Both great for those family photos. Extends to a reasonable height and maintains stability throughout. Once adjustments were made, it is ever better! Overall a great value for the price.

My 15+ years old Sony-branded tripod broke so I was in the market for a tripod that allows me to pan easily for kids' video recordings. This is the best overall for the price (I got it for $59.99). The handle to rotate/pan the tripod head is nicely designed. It offers a great degree of rotation angle freedom. However note that it actually doesn't offer a way lock the x-axis, to pan perfectly horizontally. This can be a deal breaker for some. The materials are decent. It obviously is not as good as top-tier tripods. The tripod legs are sturdy. The tripod head is a little plasticky IMO. It also comes with a mobile adapter which is perfect, most folks these days do their photography/videos exclusively on phones. But the adapter can be a stretch for some of the biggest phones. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and with the case on, it is a tight fit. So be gentle with the adapter, since you may have read that it may break under extreme pressure. If Best Buy offers this $59.99 again, I would recommend it! Just set your expectations right.

It’s fine, does what it has to. I wouldn’t say run out and get it, but I don’t regret buying it either.

This tripod was a pleasant surprise in quality. I purchased three as I use them for triggered lighting with hot shoes and the tripods are able to perform in different environments. As a photographer, I do not travel without one as I keep this particular piece of equipment with me. Coming with its own carrying case, this tripod breaksdown and is able to be carried inside of most backpacks.

Strong sturdy lightweight easy transport camera holder is a plus

This does exactly what I need it to. It is light weight and well made. I use it for my iPhone. If you are using larger/heavier equipment, you might want to seek a more heavy duty tripod. It folds up to a small manageable transport size.

My old tripod broke and needed to replace it. I found this I've at Best Buy at an affordable price. It works great, adjusts to multiple heights and angles and light enough to keep you camera attached and carry around. My only complaint is sometimes when you tighten the wheel to lock the head in position, it moves slightly.

Easy to use and very sturdy. Also compact and light weight.

Very well built. Easy to handle. Light weight and good quality

A very nice tripod. Light and impressive piece of gear.

Good quality tripod its heavy so thats nice and it easily attaches to your item

It is a quality product on affordable pricing. I really like it so much.

Great Tripod for the money. The legs are a little thin and it sometimes requires adjustments to position the feet (legs slide off balance over time) but I use this to mount our camera for zoom classes at a martial arts studio so it stays out most of the time. I love the ability to swap out the mounts for phone holder or standard cold shoe, and the grip handle makes angle adjustments a snap.

Bottom Line: The Manfrotto Compact Action Smart Tripod is designed and priced well for its target audience of beginners/novices to photography. Pros: lightweight, adjustability, ease of use, includes phone attachment Cons: might not be stable enough for some uses Review: After considering several options, I purchased the Manfrotto Action Tripod to record videos for YouTube with an entry-level DSLR camera. The legs of the tripod can be extended at various lengths, and you can fine tune the height as needed very easily with the adjustable head. The head can also be tilted (forward/backward, sideways), so you'll always be able to frame your perfect shot. The quick mount system is an excellent feature, so you can mount and unmount your camera in a matter of seconds. The tripod also comes with a carrying case and phone attachment, although the latter has a stiff spring that makes it difficult to open wide enough for my iPhone X. For my home office, the tripod is very sturdy. I leave the camera on it basically 24/7 and move the whole setup around as needed. However, the tripod is lightweight and the legs are pretty thin at the bottom when extended, so I'd be a bit weary about using this outside on uneven surfaces.

Sturdy and easy to set up. Lighter then my old one.
