Fits perfectly inside my Trailscape 18L pack but is light enough to not be overly burdensom on a hike. I was also suprised at how sturdy it was with a fairly heavy camera mounted. (EOS R5 with 24-105 L glass lens)I used it to take long exposure shots of the sunrise over the ocean while the legs were in about a foot of water. Of course, I kept a steady and constant downward pressure on the center so that the waves would be less likely to wash the sand out from around the feet. (See image)Overall, a very reliable set up for general use and espeically handy when needing fairly lightwieght equipment while on the move.

Typical Manfrotto quality. An excellent tripod for my needs, light and easy to use. It did take me a minute or two to figure out mounting the baseplate to the head.

Bought it used and it came like it was new with the guarantee intact. The tripod is sturdy and actually amazed me. The care from the seller to the product made me write this review.

Solid and good quality

Upgraded from a super cheap tripod to this and it's a night and day difference. Light, maneuverable, and rock solid this tripod is fantastic. In addition to cameras and phones, you can also mount a crossline laser to it to do DIY stuff around your house. It's quite versatile!

The tripod is light, yet sturdy. Yes there is an expensive piece of gear up there….um spread out the legs. The ball head is easy to manipulate and stays put once locked in place. The legs telescope easily and lock fast. The tripod stays in place once situated and I’ve used for astrophotography and long exposure with great results. Seems very functional, and fits perfectly in the bag when you fold it just the way it came in the first place. ( reverse the legs over the ball head). Overall I’m very satisfied.

Nice sturdy tripod that supports my Canon cameras even with a 600 mm lens attached. Yet small enough to fit nicely into a carry on.

I wasted a good hour of my time to figure out this special sony plate will only work on my camera. What if you want to use a lens mount for wildlife photography? You're SOL because this mount will not fit anything else. Only the camera.
