 Great compact tripod, fair priceOct 20, 2009
By Peter R. Gibbons
"FFFan"
I purchased this tripod as a backpackable tripod, because I couldn't afford a carbon-fiber model. That said, this tripod is great, considering the relatively low price. My setup can be rather heavy, with a Nikon D200 + 80-200 f/2.8 lens, but so far the tripod in conjunction with the midi-ball head, has been very sturdy.
The great things about this tripod are the thumb clasps on the telescoping legs (rather than wingnuts), the leg warmers (great at 5am when it's 30 degrees), and the well built and adjustable pivot points on the legs. I find the ability to have legs go totally horizontal is highly useful.
This tripod does have some drawbacks. The first being the telescoping head - even with lighter setups, it introduces vibrations that take a few seconds to subside after hands are free of the camera. This extension is handy only in a pinch, with no wind, a small camera, and a remote release. Fully extended, it's shoddy, at best. This section also prevents the tripod from getting really low to the ground - the lowest it can go is limited by the length of this shaft, since it protrudes below the neck of the tripod.
Also, this tripod is short, fully extended. It's a compact tripod, so that's to be expected, but I'm just providing fair warning to those interested. With the legs fully extended, I have to crouch quite low to look in my camera's viewfinder.
All in all, excellent build quality, nice leg clasps, great adjustability, good for fairly heavy DSLR setups, and sturdy in fair weather conditions. I would recommend this to a friend, looking for a compact tripod for carrying around, and who couldn't get a carbon-fiber model.

Solid tripod!Jul 07, 2009
By Rebel Studio
This tripod is amazing! It is solid and well-built. My last tripod was a cheap amateur tripod that wobbled a lot. One of the knobs recently broke so I decided to splurge for a good tripod. A good tripod is necessary for steady long exposure shots. So far, I'm very satisfied with this tripod. Manfrotto tripods are highly respected in the photography field and now I see why. This tripod is not wobbly at all. All the joints are rigid when locked and liquid smooth when not. I highly recommend this product!

Solid and great quality!Jan 15, 2009
By Mike L
"Slick toys"
This tripod was stable and solid for my Canon D40, 24-70mm lens, and 580EX flash. Great construction and quality! It really holds!
I tried it in the snow on my recent trip to Yellowstone Nation Park and Park City without any problems. I also used my 28-200mm lens.
Well worth the price and necessary for my $2500 camera.
Get the 701HDV Head with it!Jan 18, 2012
By MasterMuk
Paired this with the Manfrotto 701HDV head. Great size. Wish the legs were heavier, though. I'm usually putting a Canon 7D with some extras on it, and it holds it all really well. Looks sleek, too.
Awesome Tripod.Nov 21, 2011
By Heather Darden
This tripod is heavy duty yet easy to carry. It will definitely last a long time and actually holds my DSLR [Fuji S5 Pro]. It's a great price and excellent quality. EXACTLY as described. Perfect for professionals!
