    Customers like the versatility of the camera tripod. They mention that it works well with smaller cameras, point and shoots, and small camcorders. The pistol head grip works like a joystick, and the functions of the tripod work smoothly for shooting in landscape or portrait. The built-in head is a better system than normal heads found on not high quality tripods. The tripod is plenty for most applications and makes for an excellent tripod for field hikes and other excursions. It's light, but sturdy, and is the perfect accessory to the perfect camera.

    367 customers mention243 positive124 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the camera tripod. Some mention that it's relatively light for how sturdy it feels, made of very durable aluminum and heavy duty plastic, and is mostly stable. However, others say that it is light so it' s not 100% stable, feels very flimsy, and wobbly. The leg feels like it could easily break with the wrong amount of force, and the Manfrotto Be Free head would not allow stable pan.

    "...Is it rock solid? Nearly. Is it a perfect travel tripod? Nearly...." Read more

    "...ProLIGHT...I mean like 2 pounds.Well built...the thick walled aluminum tubing is almost twice the OD of the cheaper tripods I used to..." Read more

    "...The only con is that it's light so it's not 100% stable, but as long as you back away and set the timer there should be no issues...." Read more

    "...This tripod is very well designed, and very well built. I could sum it up as stylish and functional. I think this tripod will last me a long time...." Read more

    60 customers mention22 positive38 negative

    Customers are mixed about the movement of the camera tripod. Some mention that the head pans and tilts smoothly, with no wiggle. The handles move really smoothly, and it's easy to adjust the head. However, others say that it'd be better for stationary video than dynamic movement, and that the tilt movement resistance adjustment is not great. It's hard to get a stable attachment to either your DSLR or your iPhone, and the hold the tripod head in place doesn't always lock in well.

    "...No Bubble LevelPan and Tilt movement resistance adjustment is not greatNeutral:Bigger and Heavier than expected...." 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

    "...My only complaint is that when I put on a telephoto lens, the camera tends to drop lower, no matter how much you tighten the screw...." Read more

    "...Panning was a mess because it was jerky and tended to tilt since the panning handle and tilt lock are combined...." Read more

    Better than expected
    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.
