Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dear god no. The pan and tilt handles are poorly designed and are so frustrating to use. I spend more time fiddling with them than focused on the camera or photography.

Cheap plastic. I expected more from Manfrotto. Pieces immediately broke off as soon as I started working with the adjustable tripod heads. Stay away from this model.

Not a good product. The parts fall apart very easy. I have spoken with several other photographers who purchase this device after I did and they reported the same thing. I would not recommend purchasing this product.

Tripod is very flimsy, I thought Manfrotto were quality tripods. $100 it feels so cheap and unstable. I don't feel comfortable putting a $2500 camera on it. Returning for a better quality tripod.

Worst design. Crushes fingers. Looks like a squirrel designed it. Not normal for manfroto STOP MAKING THESE. They are the worst

This tripod is a cheap piece of garbage. I wish I had never bought it and wish I could return it.

One of the legs broke already, and I have only had it for about a month.

Broke after just 2 months. Get something more sturdy if you don’t want it to crap out when you need it.

Used it twice and it broke. The lever snapped when i twisted it to tighten the mount

Waste of money! Not practical! Save your money and buy something better!

I lost my first one so purchased another one but this time it was missing a part

Broke the 2nd time I used it. Do yourself a favor and get a real tripod. This one is not good.

This is a solid and beautifully crafted tool. If your looking for panning than this might not be for you. For the price you can’t beat this

This is perfect for all my needs, the lightweight addition is great on the shoulder and is very quick to set up good for many uses.

I'm a huge fan of Manfrotto products because I think they always have a sturdy build quality. This particular tripod is very sturdy and stable, but also very lightweight at the same time. The reason I am giving it a 1 star review though is because when I purchased the tripod, it did not come with the 3-way head to actually mount the camera to. It was completely missing the quick release plate with the threaded bolt to attach the camera to, so I can't actually use the tripod. Very disappointed in the fact that I did not receive all the pieces with it. Unfortunately I cannot return it either since I did not open it until after the return period had passed.

It's a sturdy Tripod, not like the cheap stuff that shivers all the time. I am using a 70-200mm lens with a Canon Cam and I can trust my tripod to lower the shutter speed.

Bought this tonight and was so excited to try it out. I got it home and immediately noticed how flimsy the handles were. They move in an odd, unintuitive way. They bump together when trying to tighten and leave marks. But the worst part was once I figured out how to move the two parts on the head, and tightened all the way, the camera would not stay in the position I put it. I do not have a heavy camera. This thing is going back.

Great, sturdy tripod! Just what I was looking for! I definitely recommend this one for someone who’s looking for one!

Excellent tripod, compact, portable with a great height. Easy to use.
