I was able to use this with my cinema c100 mk 2 camera and the sigma art lens 24mm -70mm confidently in a professional shooting environment. The tripod is super light and perfect for on the go situations. So far so good.
I spent a couple of weeks searching for a travel tripod and after going through hundreds of reviews and video reviews, I decided to purchase this Manfrotto tripod.
Pros :
– extremely well built
– very flexible as shown in the pictures
-adjustable height
– comes with its own carry bag
– fitted in my travel backpack without any issues
– it measures less than 40cm when folded therefore it’s the perfect travel tripod and should easily fit in any carry on bag.
-it’s lightweight
-sturdy
Cons
– none to be honest. I would rate panning 08/10, this is expected as the tripod is lightweight However, Panning can be improved with practice.
Tips.
– this is a lightweight tripod therefore it would potentially struggle in windy conditions but I haven’t had any issues with mine because I attach a heavy camera , monitor , two power banks and a phone on my tripod. Attaching heavy camera gears is crucially important if you want this tripod to remain sturdy throughout the day/night.
Prodotto interessante, leggero, comodo, permette molte possibilit di ripresa.
Meglio acquistare il modello con chiusure a leva perch nel tempo quelle a vite potrebbero rompersi.

It’s a bit fiddly, but once open it’s great – not the most stable as there’s no centre support, but lightweight and does the job holding a 12.9 iPad pro for golf coaching. Just beware the wind!
Ho deciso di prendere questo treppiede per portarlo in giro pi agevolmente nei miei viaggi o comunque dove non sia previsto un set. L’ho provato con la mia BMPCC 6k pro che non proprio leggera una volta rigata col minimo indispensabile e devo dire che mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso. Super compatto, la testa fluida considerando il prezzo devo dire che fa egregiamente il suo lavoro sia in tilt che in pan le riprese sono state super fluide. Con il prezzo che ha devo dire che un ottimo treppiede da viaggio per fare i video, forse per foto si pu scegliere anche qualcosa di pi economico se non serve la testa fluida. Ma per fare video in giro la scelta da fare.
After struggling with cheap tripods for years, I thought it was time to invest in a decent tripod that I could travel with and also switch between a spotting scope and DSLR camera with a telephoto lens. This came up on Prime Day and has worked perfectly for both!
Although this isn’t the lightest tripod, it does fold down very small and the legs flip up. The legs also don’t lock out, they can be pushed in and out with a little force and moved quickly which is nice with a scope. They also work flat for getting pretty low down.
The leg extensions are robust and the clips are easy to use, plus an Alan key is included to tighten them over time.
For video it’s excellent as a budget friendly tripod, it’s probably one of the best value for money options, giving smooth pan and tilt control which can be adjusted separately. It’s way better than any cheap aluminium tripod and not too far behind the monster expensive ones!
My only issues with it is that it’s uncomfortable to carry over a shoulder with a heavy camera or scope on it and the dials to control the pan and tilt are quite small.
I have a 150-600mm telephoto lens and it is probably a little heavier than I should be, but it works and provides stable shots. The scope which is an 80mm 60x zoom is also on the weight limit but it works very well.
I got this to replace an old tripod that broke for live streaming. It’s got built-in levelling and a nice connection arm/thread at the top joint for an extension ark I often use. It’s lovely and light, very quick to erect/teardown and does the job perfectly!
Would highly recommend it for travel, photography or videography with a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
El trpode es muy porttil, ligero y estable. perfecto para viajar.
El cabezal es adecuado para video y le permite realizar grabaciones fluidas. Tiene un mecanismo que no deja caer la cmara.
Folds up really small and is very lightweight. This isn’t a replacement for a proper tripod, but is fantastic for travelling with – I’m using it with a Canon 5D. Manfrotto are also a very trusted brand in the tripod world for those that don’t know.
got this for a light weight opticon travel scope and am glad I did
Very pleased with this tripod . I started to try my hand at macro photography. It’s very versatile, quick and easy to set up and manoeuvre. Extremely easy to pack away
It is way more sturdy than I expected. Certainly sturdy enough for a D750 with a Tamron 70-200 F2.8 lens.
It is a premium, well thought out and manufactured product and I expect it to last me a lifetime.
This version also includes a genius levelling head unit which allows you to level it without changing the legs.
Not as light as a carbon fibre tripod but light enough for me.
Very happy with my purchase.
I was working with a new camera and didn’t want to haul a heavy weight tripod across a number of locations most of which were reached on foot. I bought this tripod and hoped it would do the job because so much depended on it. It did. I recommend it to anyone who needs to shoot and run but wants a steady base without the weight.
adatto per chi vuole professionalit senza faticare troppo con il trasporto.
Leggero e trasportabile, buona la testa per le piccole cose , ma sostituita con un modello pi performante per macchine pesanti.
La mejor opcin sin lugar a dudas si se persigue un buen balance de estabilidad y manejo. El mejor producto que he probado.
just bought a befree aluminium with catches not twist locks…love it. it feels well made, it’s light, the fluid head is tine but is super smooth, it holds my Canon 80D with Sigma ART lens, securely. the main reason i got this tripod was for the levelling ball head… this works well but the spirit level is covered up when the camera in on…of course you can level the tripod before you fit the camera but i have a Hot Shoe bible level to double check the camera…FAB. i will have to get used to the camera plate…its a bit fiddly to fit on the head…but i like it can slide to balance the camera lens setup. looking for a tripod weight to hang off the hook to make it even more secure. first impressions are good.
Update after a few months… still like it… take extra care when sliding the camera plate as it’s possibe to get only one side engaged and drop the camera…the bottom legs are a bit spindly…it’s much more secure with in the first 2 kegs extended but it’s not high enough…wish it was 6 inches higher so you don’t need the final little legs…but like the fluid head and leveling ball…overall good tripod.
Ero alla ricerca da molto tempo di un treppiede video da viaggia, sono rimasto davvero colpito, dalle sue dimensioni dalla facilit di utilizzo dal peso contenuto e sopratutto dalla sua solidit. Pur essendo cos piccolo fa egregiamente il suo dovere. Consigliato a tutti i videomaker che viaggiano molto e hanno bisogno di un treppiede leggere e piccolo da portare ovunque.
