Review: Brilliant entry level high quality tripod and head. - I have worked as a professional videographer and camera man, but just wanted a cheaper entry level tripod for use at home with my DLSR. I pick this up on sale for under £100. I have been really impressed with the quality and performance of the tripod and head, which lives up to the quality you would expect for Manfrotto and matches and compairs well to much more exspensive tripod and heads in their product range. Build quality is standard Manfrotto, so I should give make years of service. It only has basic features like only one mounting for a control arm and no additional mounting point for extra equipment, but does include a spirt level bubble for levelling the tripod, which is useful and nice. The mounting plate on the head is a standard Manfrotto plate and interchangeable and compatible with there other video heads (I have tested this). It also includes the extra safety realease button to stop the plate sliding out of the mount if you have forgotten to do it up correctly. The head has no adjustments on it, but the locking screw knobs are smooth and progressive, so can use them to give you some control and resistance of movement when using the tripod for shooting video. I was impressed with smoothness of motion for such a cheap fluid head and found the head easy to setup and balance, which made it a joy to use. I also like the flip left/right leg angle adjustment on the top of each leg, which lets you spread the tripod legs out farther for a more stable and lower postioning of the camera. I found these easier to use than the standard ones found on more exspensive Manfrotto equipment. I found the tripod to be light weight and compact in size. This is a realitive thing and compairs to what you are used to. I have seen other reviews complaining that the tripod and head are heavy and Manfrotto themselves make a lighter tripod, but compaired to a professional camera/head/tripod setup that you would use for pro production quality footage, this tripod and head weighs in at a very low weight. I have used monopods which weigh more than this setup. As a final test I used this tripod on a professional job to see how it would compair, filming a music gig. The tripod and head were used with a professional quality Sony camera to capture the action on the stage from a riser halfway down the right-hand side of the venue. Once setup and balanced correctly the setup was a joy to use. All the video filmed was stable with smooth motion and the editor made a point of commenting how good all the footage was for that camera. All I can say is well done Manfrotto for putting together such a good quality package for such a low price.
Review: Great Tripod - Great tripod. Nice and light to carry, easy to use and smooth movement with the three directional head.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tripod

Great tripod. Nice and light to carry, easy to use and smooth movement with the three directional head.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic for the money
*by A***R on 18 September 2017*

He ain't heavy, he's my brother; so the song goes. Well this tripod ain't my brother and is very heavy. If you ever get bored of photography, keep it cos it would make an ideal defensive weapon. If you want to take pictures at the top of Scare Fell Pike please please order the optional pack horse. So the weights a huge disadvantage? Not really; to get smooth panning video the weight actually helps it stay rigid without the need to weigh it down with your camera bag or a small child. It's built better quality is top notch and holds my Canon 80D and standard kit lens whilst yelling "is that all you've got, bring it on you lemon" So apart from the tripods attitude problem a top top purchase.
