    Just got this for my Sony A6400 camera. Works great, just the handles can be a little hard to understand since the instructions are all in pictures instead of words so you have to follow tons of arrows. Besides that, it does what its supposed to do.

    The price tags didn't match on the display and it was hard to locate an associate who was available to match up the product with the price tag. He finally straightened out. I took it home, wrapped up and gave it to my wife for her birthday. She really likes it! The price was reasonable too!

    Lifesaver...however

    This tripod was a lifesaver during this pandemic. I still use it today. It holds my devices securely to Zoom and FaceTime. However, I couldn’t get the two levers to separate. There were no instructions for this problem. After a few weeks I realized I had to force one of the levers to separate. I piece fell out but the tripod works. The phone attachment was helpful. However, I’ve broken a few finger nails trying to widen the holder to attach my iPhone X. The holder is not wide enough to fit an iPhone 8 Plus.

    Its a good beginner tripod. It's very lightweight and good for carrying just make sure you have a sandbag or something heavy to prevent it from tipping over

    I had my old tripod for about 20 years and finally had to purchase a new one. The entire experience of purchasing the tripod was delightful. There were several to choose from and I ultimately selected a Manfrotto tripod. Of course, Manfrotto has a reputation all its own.

    I have purchased other tripods in the past, but this one is my favorite. A little tricky to master at first, but once you get the hang of it this is an awesome tripod.

    Fast delivery and a simple tripod. Little bit of a hassle adjusting control arm for storage, but all in all it us alright. One leg us a little wonky I’ve only had it - few weeks. We’ll see if it holds up

    Perfect for short or low lying (knee height) photography. Compact and easy to use. Some plastic pieces take away from giving it a 5 star review, but overall happy with the purchase.

    This is a decent tripod for lighter cameras or phones. It's a bit flimsy when extended all the way, but I haven't noticed any issues. The included phone holder works well and is easy to use. The tripod is compact enough to be portable.

    I originally went with a cheaper Tripod. However, I saw this one and put the other back. I love how many options I have to tilt/swivel and/or adjust the tripod. Easy to set up. Easy Instructions. You won't be disappointed.

    I use this for a speedlight for my photoshoots. I have not yet placed my cam on it because I use my other tripod for my camera. This bipod comes in handy, you can adjust it to various heights and tilt the base should you need.

    Not bad, but not as sturdy for the money as some others i've seen. Adjustment handles are positioned too close to each other for quick simple use.

    Compact when collapsed. Portable. Good for light loads at higher extensions. Don’t like the play in the platform joint to the tripod. Not good for long distance photography.

    I picked up this Manfrotto tripod to take pictures during the holiday season and have been nothing less than happy. The legs adjust easily; the swivel head moves smoothly and I really like the included holder to mount cell phones on the tripod.
