I was looking for a decent inexpensive fluid head tripod for shooting with a small video camera. After looking through the reviews on some of the cheaper brands, I decided to trust Manfrotto and I was not disappointed. This is a nice little tripod, pretty sturdy and lightweight, and the fluid head is smooth and responsive - better than I was expecting for the price. The legs have three sections (I only extended two in the pictures) and the head can raise too, so it can go pretty high. It's still an inexpensive tripod, so don't expect the performance of a professional weight unit, but for the price this is a great little tripod with a surprisingly good fluid head. The only thing I wish it had was a bubble level on the head, but aside from that I'm really happy with this tripod.

Have wanted a fluid-head Manfrotto since I was a teen and they were very expensive. This one is a nice balance of portability and functionality and includes a bag. Will lift the camera nearly 6'. For smooth pan and tilt with video, you can't beat a fluid head. This is a nice one. They also have catches to spread the legs winder and take the camera lower. When I got it, the head had a small wobble. I contacted their support and quickly got the solution - a loose mounting screw under the head. The only thing missing is a bubble level. Got one for the camera shoe.

It’s always horrified me when I see someone with a camera that cost $1000+ setting it up on a toy tripod that cost $50. A tripod is not the thing to cheap out on - it’s the support system for your expensive camera equipment. This Italian-made Manfrotto tripod is extremely well-made and will last forever if it isn’t abused. At max height it extends taller than I will ever need. Quick to set up with the flip lock leg extenders. Not the lightest thing, I wouldn’t take it on a hike in the woods, but I bought it for stability, not weight. If weight matters, consider carbon fiber for a lot more money.

Su material es muy bueno
