    Customers like the quality of the camera tripod. They mention that the pegs of the tripod are well made, the locks are solid pieces of work, and it's mostly stable. The materials are high quality, and the build quality is epic. It'll support 80lbs without flinching, and you get what you pay for. The Italian made equipment is fantastic, and provides a rock solid mount of MCPIXI clamp to the Compact.

    50 customers mention24 positive26 negative

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the camera tripod. Some mention that the height is right, the quick latch legs make it easy, and it extends to be pretty tall in a short amount of time. The points on the leg, however, helps with better height customization. The maximum length is enough for them, but it has some problems. Some say that it's small and easy to lose, while others say that the holds a camera to the tripod does not fit well. It is not a full size tripod, but is big enough to work. It's a minimalist tripod, and is bigger and heavier than expected.

    "...Height....kind of short. You WILL have to bend over if you are over 5'5" or so...." Read more

    "...The height is excellent as well, i'm 5'1 and I feel I can set it higher than myself...." Read more

    "...The legs are very skinny, the feet are very small which resulted in shaking when it was being used outdoors ( wind will cause shake)..." Read more

    "...Not only the the legs adjust for height, but also the center piece you mount your camera or scope...." Read more

    82 customers mention24 positive58 negative

    Customers are not satisfied with the stability of the tripod. They mention that it's hard to get a stable attachment to either their DSLR or their iPhone, it' s wobbly, and shakes with any movement around it. The head of the camera tripod is not held properly straight by the button mechanism, and it' is easily susceptible to wind shake due to the thin legs. This tripod does not sit well on rough surfaces, and the movement when recording video is straight up bad.

    "...It does not sit well on rough surfaces. The ball head works great and will definitely hold a compact camera at any altered position...." Read more

    "...It'll require several takes to get it just right. The movement is not accelerate and decelerate smoothly with one hand, sometimes even with two..." Read more

    "...That being said, the handles moves really smoothly and I suspect there will be no bounce when trying to follow a subject...." Read more

    "...Pretty wobbly. Maybe ok with a timer or remote, stationary video. Otherwise better off keeping the last one or two sections in...." Read more

    I was recently planning a vacation in Seattle and wanted something light that I could easily and safely pack around in my backpack and in and out of Uber's.I have several Manfrotto 055 tripods and ball heads, as well as monopods. All work great for the purposes I bought them for, though none would have done great for all conditions like I wanted on my vacation.I have always "secretly" enjoyed pistol grip heads, so when I saw this tripod I was immediately intrigued.My initial frustration of not being able to remove the head and have to buy new mounts was put to ease at the affordable cost and fantastic functionality of the entire unit.Is it rock solid? Nearly. Is it a perfect travel tripod? Nearly.I used it for time-lapse, landscape and night photography in downtown Seattle and it lived up to the awesome Manfrotto name in every instance.Would I use it as a daily driver for professional photography? No. But it is perfect for everything else.

    O tripé é muito bom. Possui engate rápido e fácil. Atinge boa altura e tem ótima estabilidade. A cabeça possui 2 modos distintos: pra filmagem e pra fotografia. Os pés não possuem travas, então é bom se certificar de que estão todos abertos ao máximo para garantir a estabilidade. Também devemos tomas cuidado pra não perder a peça de encaixe, pois é pequena. Excelente tripé para viagens ou para pequenos espaços. Recomendo.
