Love this tripod , it’s light and easy to carry but also heavy duty enough to hold a big camera

Great tripod. Setup was a breeze for a novice. I will be using this for Plein air and would highly recommend it.

Very nice tripod. Very sturdy. Has a high end feel. Using it for plein air painting.

This is a very good tripod for cameras that weigh up to 5 LB max. I like the ease of adjustment and mounting the camera.I think the Price I paid was reasonable. I have used a few old tripods going back to the 60s. this one in lighter and can support my medium format film cameras. It is much lighter that my old "Tilt all" tripod.

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.

This is the standard for high quality camera mounting and works great for iPhones with a compatible attachment.

Very disappointed with this. It works fine until you move the camera around at different angles. Then the camera gets jammed in the quick release mount clamp and won’t release — the only way to get it out is to unscrew the camera from the mount. I thought the problem was my camera and 100-500 mm lens was too heavy for the tripod (even though the specifications say that the tripod can support much heavier camera & lens) but I had the same issue when using my much lighter 15-35mm lens.

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.
