Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Compact Advanced Smart 65" Tripod's sturdiness, lightweight design, and affordability. Many appreciate its compact size, convenient for portability. However, some users point out the lack of a built-in level and find the handles somewhat awkward to use. A few also mention challenges with leg extension and panning smoothness.

    I lost my other manfrotto that's a bit easier to take on the go so I got this one for now and it does the job well. I'm not a fan of the double handle to adjust for you can do worse at that price.

    It does the job but not good for video. if you want to pan out is stiff. For stills and cell phone it does well and has good height

    I purchased this tripod as a second tripod for multiple-camera situations. It has held up very well so far, and it is quickly adjustable. I am very pleased with the tripod.

    Works great for my point & shoot cameras and smaller lenses on my DSLR. A little too light duty for my large zoom but still works.

    I purchased this item for my iPad to use for our business to record funeral services. However I did not go wrong because it works for what I need if for. I’m 5”4 and it’s come up about an inch tall

    Overall good quality material but I have had trouble locking the head into position. It could be operator error, but it also shouldn't be that hard to do.

    This tripod feels very well made and has great versatility. The handles that control the tilt do feel a bit flimsy at times but once you set where you want your camera it’s not too bad.

    Good but pretty much the same as its older counterpart with the addition of the phone mount. I'm not sure if its worth the added $

    I like it a lot when I need it for long exposures and or landscapes and just when I need a perfect level shot. I like how it extends really tall and still is very strong.

    I record soccer games and I’m use to using the single stick tripod with this cold weather my hands are a bit shaky so I purchased this one. Easy to set up and use. I’m just getting use to it

    The tripod is a great value for the price and versatile. A ball bearing system to adjust the camara angle would be better, but this one fulfil the needs when starting photography.
