We use these to support laser levels - not photography gear. So bear that in mind. For the use we give them, they do very well. Quick setup, super compact, feel well built for the $$, and the head is a rolling wheel type, (one hand operation) As a photographer, (have been shooting since the 80’s) these would work well enough for smaller bodies/lenses that are not heavy. Think micro 4:3 Panasonic or Fuji with a 50 attached. Or small p&s type stuff.

product came slightly broken, the furthest extension of one of the legs pushes in even when clamped, so I don’t feel safe putting it all the way up with my camera on it. otherwise it’s a good tripod, and if I only extend it to the 2nd to last length it works perfectly!

I have several of these tripods and I love them, but I ordered this one and the quick release plate doesn’t fit. Luckily I had an extra one I had laying around. Otherwise it’s great.

A great improvement on the older Manfrotto 785b model. The swivel mount locks MUCH more securely. The quick release is also much improved over the wiggly older one. I'll wait to review the leg latches (which easily broke on the 785b) but so far, it's all good. This is not a tripod for smooth panning and tilting, but if you just need something to hold the camera still in one position, this is a great deal. Also very lightweight. Only improvement I can suggest is a liquid level indicator (which the 785b DID have).

The grip is of limited use and is too unstable for panning horizontally. I put about a 1/2" rubber eraser spacer to give back that feature.
