" ... But the tripod I got was perfect, brand new, and holds steadily ! ... "

" ... The legs close to form a very comfortable handle for walking around while holding a smart phone attached to the tripod (I especially like the Polar Pro light chaser kit for mounting my iPhone to a tripod). ... "
" ... I am always looking for good portable mini tripods that can hold anything from a Sony A7iii to a Gopro. ... "

" ... I purchased this tripod to use it for indoor macro photography, but I will end up using it for much more--possibly more often than my full-sized tripod. ... "
" ... This is a well made mini tripod, but I wouldn't put anything too heavy on it, or anything with a long lens. ... Instead, I am using two of these for 1" Flashlight Holders for use with Macro Photography. ... "
" ... Canon EF 24-105 ... "
" ... We use it for DSLR and Pocket Cinema shots. ... A must have for B-Roll shots and table top shooting. ... "

" ... but for the price cant beat it. ... "
" ... I've had cheaper ones, but at this price why bother. ... "
" ... I really don’t think you can beat this for the price (why I gave it 4 stars), however I ended up buying a more functional Lefoto mini tripod which I am in love with, but it did cost a lot more. ... "
" ... This product is worth twice the current cost, quality once again from Manfrotto. ... "
" ... I love this tho, its nice and sturdy with a good price attached to it so it was worth the money I would buy it again and would also recommend it to others. ... "

" ... Had this product for less than a year and it’s already broken. ... "
" ... But after almost over 2 months using, this product gave up easily. ... "
" ... Broken up within a month. ... "
" ... The replacement just came in and same issue - rollerball is completely jammed. ... "
" ... I do not have the option of returning it, as I didn't open it from the package until 3 weeks after I received it (running a little behind in my projects here), so I guess that's just $20.00 that I'll have to write-off. ... "

" ... The ball head was frozen in place and could not turn even when pushing in the release button. ... "
" ... The one I received is absolutely defective since the button does not press in any way shape or form, no matter how much pressure is applied, the top ball joint is locked permanently and the product is 100% un usable. ... "
" ... The ball joint also seemed to barely move and the quick release button is a total joke. ... "
" ... The button couldn't be pushed in and the ball head couldn't be adjusted. ... "
" ... Major flaws are: (1) Push button is tacky and it isn't functioning as it intended to be. ... "
" ... The "ball" is pretty difficult to move, even when pushing down the button to allow it to be adjusted. ... The button feels "off" build wise, just feels like it could break at any press. ... "
" ... A bit hart to depress the button. ... "
" ... There is a button that has to be pressed to move the ball head to adjust the angle. ... I almost strained my thumb trying to press the button. ... I have to pull the button back out. ... "

" ... The size of this tripod is also great, you'll never need to remove it from your bag to accommodate something else. ... "
" ... Not gonna be your go to set of legs for a big camera, but a great accessory for your bag. ... "
" ... I think I would have been better off buying the smaller one, this takes up too much space on my desk. ... "
" ... You should look at how big this is because it does take up some space, but other than that, it's amazing. ... "
" ... Therefore, I really needed something that would fit into my mini backpack, be sturdy, and of great quality. ... "
" ... Small enough to throw in a bag and have on hand. ... "
" ... You can’t alter the height but I can stack books beneath. ... "
" ... It’s really not worth looking at any other product or vendor in this space, as this is the best product at a reasonable price. ... "
