" ...  Good quality and sturdy.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I've had this for about two months, now, so I can't speak to the long-term durability. ... There are multiple locking stops for how wide you want to splay the legs, and three folding locks for the tripod legs as you telescope them out. ... The legs are definitely spindly if fully extended.  ...  "

comment
" ...  I bought the aluminum version rather than the carbon fiber, It is about half the price. ... This thing is really solid and feels well constructed. ... I have bought tripods at Best Buy for around the same price and this is definitely superior in it's build quality compared to the name brands.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I did have a very good one before but NOTHING THIS GOOD, I love how the legs can flip up like they do and how small you can make the tripod, I love the ball on it so you can really flow with whatever action you are shooting with your camera. ... So durable, I am in a wheelchair and I drop things a lot, well I have broken my prior tripod just by it hitting the ground this WON'T BREAK Unless you really try hard, and as hard as I am on my equipment due to my disability , this gets an A+ FOR EVERYTHING .  ...  "

" ...  There are multiple locking stops for how wide you want to splay the legs, and three folding locks for the tripod legs as you telescope them out. ... The results were quite nice, but, again, this was with a super wide angle lens. ... You need to tighten the ball head lock with the lens pointing a bit above target, as it will still sag a bit after tightening. ... Especially noticeable when you're shooting telephoto. ... On a more general note, these ball head mounts are just wonderful for shooting dslr. ... As noted above, with the long and unbalanced telephoto lens, it was a little tougher, but still easier than with a pan-and-tilt.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Very very useful to have the legs adjust to a near horizontal position, great for macro shots and product photography. ... Tripod comes with a well designed carrying bag (does not feel cheap and is built well), also comes with 2 hex wrenches for adjustments and gear satchel for accessories.  ...  "

" ...  The best part for me - the Manfrotto Be Free Live Fluid Head fits perfectly on it, and it folds down to an easy to pack 14 inches which fits perfectly in its carrying case, or I can easily attach it to my backpack - no reason not to take my tripod every time I go out with my camera.  ...  "
