Is there any problems or issues with camera drifting when locked down in the vertical position

I have no problem with a smaller mirrorless body and telephoto lens. No idea whether a full-size DSLR would be stable.

Can I fold a tripod and have the handle line up with the tripod legs so it forms a compact ensemble for travel? Or does the handle stick out?

You can fold it to make a fairly compact package. The box it comes in is only 3x3 1/4" in cross section. However, it's quite easy to take the handle off to make a smaller package.

Is this compatible with the falcam 38?

Dear Friend, Thanks for your inquiry. Please kindly note that they are not compatible. Sincerely, SmallRig Customer Service

Can this fit on a Manfrotto tripod?

I used the 1/4-20 thread on bottom to put on an Arca mount so I can quickly get this on and off an Arca-Swiss tripod -- I assume you could mount a Manfrotto plate on the bottom to do the same for a Manfrotto tripod.
