    Good tripod, very high when fully extended and can also become very compact. Just a little bit heavy

    Worked great for our Hunt simulator camera! We were worried about it getting bumped, but with the adjusting capabilities if this tripod, we were able to lower it to the floor level and avoid any tipping. Haven't tried it with taking pictures, but I think with all the adjustment levels it will work great!

    I'm fine with it for the price

    Considering how expensive professional tripods can get, for the price, this one has been good for me since day one. The three legs have four extendable sections each that tighten into place and the main section that holds the camera can adjust up and down as well, with a gear hook at the bottom. I'm 6'1" and at it's tallest, I actually can't see the top of my camera, for what that info is worth. I was actually able to put my 7D Mark II on the bottom end of the mount for a directly-over-top macro use. I'm not sure it's supposed to do that, but it worked for me with the heavy camera. I admit I've been a bit confused now and then with the side-to-side pan thingy. I can usually get it to stay put, but if I'm not paying attention it loosens and thus the camera moves away from target. But it's more user error, I conclude. It does include a carrying bag with light rope "straps" that I have hiked with, although I'll definitely modify those if I hike with it again, as it isn't the most comfortable thing after a long day. Overall, I do recommend this to anyone who isn't in the market for an expensive high-end tripod. It's been sturdy for me and with my heavy camera I haven't had any issues with holding the camera on target at all.

    Just what I was looking for. it's larger than most travel tripods, but not by much, and I wanted a bit more support for my DSLR and larger lenses. The way the tripod folds makes it more compact than you would expect. Not a heavy duty tripod, but sturdy enough for my needs.

    This is nice for traveling. It folds down to a nice small size. The but part is the twisting twisting to extend the legs. The other but part is the difficulty locking the legs. If the legs don’t lock at the top it easily slips down with the slightest pressure. Overall not bad. But not a quick setup or takedown.

    We bought this tripod for our daughter who is just starting out in photography. Her camera fit on it nicely and it is lightweight to carry around. The tripod is sharp looking. The legs are adjustable which make it possible to take pictures on uneven ground.

    I dont know what I was expecting the tripod to do except hold my d7100 but man it surprised me. I can become a mono pod. It gives you the best control of angles and a very good quality product.

    This was an opportunity to buy a highly rated Tripod for a very reasonable mark-down price. It has horizontal and vertical bubble alignment, is lightweight, has a sling bag carrying case, and fits into my carry-on luggage. My understanding is that Manfrotto's origins are associated with Prima Photo.

    Excellent tripod in the current market

    This is an awesome upgrade from my first tripod! I love how there is an option to convert it into a monopod. It's very easy to use. I appreciate that here are two levels because I can get obsessive with how straight my photos are. A welcome surprise for me is the option to change the "feet" of each peg from rubber, to studs. It works great when you're setting up on unpaved surfaces. I'm very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a tripod with a restricted budget.

    This tripod is very steady and can easily support a DSLR with a 300mm F4 prime lens. In addition it has a smoothly operating ball mount with a quick release. The only con is that it is a little heavy.

    This tripod is awesome. We got it for our son...who is 6'3". It is extremely sturdy and extends enough so he can use it without killing his back bending over. Very nice!

    I wanted a solid non shaky tripod. So far, this seems to do the trick. Many adjustments make setting up easy. I like having so many adjustments on the legs, great for uneven surfaces. Comes in nice carry bag.
