Love this tripod. Took it on a trip to Colorado and hiked with it comfortably. It folds up nicely and fit right on the side of my backpack. I have a bigger Manfrotto tripod in my studio that I have had for 30 years and highly recommend them.

PROS:Quality fitment, clean lines, good operation of moving parts, free spares and tools included, good tote-bag included, nice and tall, can use as monopod, separate camera and pan screws.CONS:One leg shorter than the rest, a little heavy.REVIEW:Needed a taller tripod to replace my $20 cheapo model. Found this Manfrotto and I am very satisfied. It is clearly a quality product and I feel like I will be using it for the rest of my life (or until I lose it). The operation of the twist locks and leg position locks is clean and easy (though you may need to loosen the leg screws for quicker angle adjustment). The camera foot fits well and is easy to mount. There are two bubble levels for positioning at upright and at 90º angle for the camera. The ball joint works well and I really like the speed of the adjustments for height.This seems best suited for local shooting and is a bit too heavy for a back country hike due to the weight, but being aluminum it should stand up for many a year to come. Additionally, it seems that one of the legs is shorter than the rest at the fully extended position. This is easy enough to compensate for, but should have been noticed in QA.SUMMARY:For the price, I dont think youll find a more capable tripod. Fully recommend to anyone who wants something significantly better than the ubiquitous cheap Chinese knockoffs found in the ClickElectronics Preferred category.

Edit 1: 4/28/2017:I have returned this product foe below reasons:1. The tripod head feels cheaply made for 150$ tripod, the arca swiss clamp has a nut sticking out due to with it is not compatible with many arcs swiss plates.2. Heavy lens creep: the ball head creeps when i put the 70-200 with my 750 body, at first didn’t notice this but then it became prominent.Overall build of legs was amazing, but the tripod head gives away the pros, IMO its very very cheaply made for the price.I suggest Oben 3585 system which retails for 165$ which is far superior in all round to this tripod.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–I was first hesitant to buy this as there was no info on website. This tripod is amazing! It just the weight of a d750 + 70-200 easily even in portrait mode. Best thing is, it has 3 leg positions compared to 2 in Mefoto. Good height of 65 inches and sturdy tripod. Only thing is ballhead could have been more sturdier, but the knobs are well made and with just a simple twist the head locks in position

Me encanta este triple. Es pequeño y ligero, pero muy estable, de gran calidad además se puede convertir en monopod. Buenísimo

Came as advertised. Used and it works well for what I need. Good option for an inexpensive tripod from a well known manufacturer

My Reviews –
Treppiede nel complesso robusto e pratico, ideale per fotografia itinerante tipo trekking. Molto interessante la possibilità di posizionare le gambe nelle maniere più varie, il che consente in situazioni di terreno accidentato d’avere il cavalletto sempre abbastanza stabile. Una nota di disappunto per quanto riguarda la testa a sfera, che per questo treppiede viene data per 8 Kg di peso, ebbene dopo aver posizionato in verticale la mia reflex (una Canon 5 D) con inserito lo zoom 24/70, la testa non ha retto al peso e tendeva a scivolare all’ingiù. Nessun problema, invece, se la fotocamera viene messa nella classica posizione orizzontale.

Fantastic product. Very well built. The tripod itself is solid and it shows in the craftsmanship of the Manfrotto brand. If a previous review a customer was having difficulty when the leg fell out. FYI, don’t pull the leg all the way out! If you do you still can put it back in not a big deal. Overall the product feels like it should cost more than 150, and the case it comes in is awesome.

Manfrotto is one of those great tripods. My first impressions, light weight, solid construction, not very stable in some windy conditions or irregular terrains, it shakes a little on those conditions, tightening and shorting the legs may help, I’ve noticed this with a Nikon D7200 with a 70/300 zoom, with some patience I could take the shots I wanted. You can’t expect to use this as a Studio Tripod of $300 or more… It is what it is, an affordable, light, traveller tripod, for taking some pictures or videos that requires a tripod for an optimal result, if you are looking for that then you wouldn’t be disappointed. Easy to deploy and easy to store, also it is easy to dissamble one leg to make it a monopod, of course it is something that you can’t do constantly, it seems that this feature was thinked only for those cases where with just a monopod were usefull instead of the whole tripod.
