AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the quality of the camera tripod. They mention it's really solidly built, holds a heavy load, and is super-stable. The ball head is exceedingly well made of cast aluminum, and it looks like it will last forever. The tripod is gutsy and can support fairly heavy cameras with big lenses. The wide base gives it added stability. It's a good tabletop tripod, but if you're on a budget there are quite a few.

When you're on vacation you don't want to lug around a full size tripod just in case you see a shot that you want to get at night, or with your entire group in it (including you)... but this little gem allows you to do just that while adding virtually nothing more to what you have to carry.
If you're traveling with a small compact camera attached to your belt you can easily slip this in your pocket and still have "nothing to carry" allowing you to enjoy your day when you're not using your camera, and still have easy access to both your camera and a stabilized platform for using it on.
I have used this tripod with both lightweight point and shoot cameras as well as with larger DSLR cameras and it was able to support both equally well. The metal construction gives it lots of strength compared to other compact tripods.
My only complaint is that the cork foot pads seem to easily come off, but this doesn't seem to have affected the stability of the tripod. Instead of the cork being on the surface now it is just the tripod leg metal sitting on the surface.
Firstly the built quality is excellent. The first thing that strikes you is the size and portability. It fits into the top compartment of my Lowepro AW102 sling bag with ease, so I carry this mini tripod all the time, whether or not I carry my regular full-size tripod. The second thing is the stability. I have mounted my Nikon D5000 with the 55-200 zoom without problem. The tripod's mini ball head also allows a portrait setup, but tends to lose its balance in this mode, which can be easily corrected by placing a book or a bag on one of the legs. In landscape mode the tripod is super-stable, as the legs spread wide apart, thus lowering the center of gravity of the camera and tripod. Thirdly the quality of the ball head for such a tiny tripod is excellent. The ball head locks firmly. There is a slight downward creep that is typical of most ball heads and you need to adjust for this while composing the shot.
The only con is the absence of a quick release mechanism. I wish it had a ball head similar to my 7302YB tripod and I could switch between the two tripods without having to take off the bottom plate and screw on the Mini tripod.
When I attach my Canon EOS 50D in the upright position, the camera is held stable. However, the tripod cannot hold the Canon 50 vertically (portrait) without tipping over (see my photo). This can be easily remedied by put a small amount of weight on the opposite leg, such as a book, weight, etc.
The tripod has tiny cork feet glued to the underside of each leg. One of the feet had come off in the package before I even opened it. Not sure how long it will stay around before it's inadvertently lost. Be prepared to make your own replacement feet. For the price I'm surprised Manfrotto didn't do some kind of molded silicon foot or something a little more rugged.
I'm giving this tripod 4 stars because IMO it's a bit overpriced for what it is. It is a good tabletop tripod but if you're on a budget there a quite a few other makes, all cheaper. Velbon Mini and Sunpak Mini Proplus are two others I considered. Also Vanguard makes several minis. BTW, I've posted some photos in case that helps.

ce n'est pas un produit né d'un design innovant qui voudrait séduire par le seul aspect, mais qui serait inefficace ou peu fiable.
Tout est direct, sans complication et c'est puissant, léger et ça marche. Bravo !
