I use this tripod to film my youtube videos with the Sony A6400. It has everything you need for all of your filming needs and there are lots of adjustments. It has a level and a nice fluid drag system to get you filming quality footage. The feet plant firmly on the ground.Like I said I use it indoors because its light but you may want to consider a heavier tripod if you are outdoors most of the time to get a steadier shot if there is any weather elements.It hasn't let me down and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a quality tripod from a trusted brand on a budget.

It's a decent tripod: it packs small-ish, it's kinda light-weight, it's pretty sturdy... it's what you need it to be and nothing more. I wish it packed smaller and was a little lighter, there's so much extra space when it's all folded up. And the ball head works but isn't what I've come to expect with other manfrotto tripods. It works great for what I need but doesn't impress me in any way.

Very smooth, packs easily for travel and weighs much less than my last one. Easily holds my Canon R5 with 70-200mm lens, mic and light. It’s a good hybrid head for video and photography. Definitely not as smooth as my Benro video head but that weighs 4x and is far too big for travel. Love this one.

I always undervalued the idea of spending large sums of money on anything that wasn't the camera or audio, and for the most part, this has always been a good idea until I cheaped out on a Vivitar Tripod. That tripod was hardly useful and could easily break into a pile of sticks with just a gust of wind, so by the time it was on its literal last leg I decided to look into Manfrotto, and boy was I blown away.There has never been such a mundane product that I have gushed over as much as this and have constantly recommended to those in the market for one. I've used and abused this on many sets and it still holds up like new. The pan and tilt are still as fluid as ever, the locking system is still sturdy, the legs are built to last, and the grip on the handle is like nothing I have ever used. When you buy a Manfrotto you are guaranteed a quality product that will last you a lifetime.I bought the aluminum model which is a fair bit heavy in shoots for hiking(if possible spend a little more for the carbon fiber if you plan to carry this for long periods of time), but the construction and use of the material really make it feel premium. Never cheap out on a tripod and go for this if you want a lightweight, easy-to-use solution.

I shoot a great deal now with my smartphone - they’ve gotten so much better, and since I am not lugging around a camcorder, I wanted a lighter tripod but with a fluid head. I had used cheaper, under $50 tripods, which would cause my tripod to fall over during a wind gust. It has a hook in the center so that you can add a counter weight. More importantly, panning on those types of tripods is very difficult. The built-in fluid head on this works so smoothly - just like my heavy duty Manfrotto. But now I am so glad I don’t have to drag that big boy around. I like the clamps to extend the legs, and the legs flip up to place in the carrying back it comes with or a backpack. My only complaint, is the screw under the quick release, I wish it had a turning toggle so you can tighten the smart phone holder easily. A dime would be perfect but I rarely have a dime on me, though car keys work. But other than that, I use this with the Manfrotto smart phone grip which is the best on the market.

Compared to the cheap tripods I put up with in the past, this is a massive upgrade. The tripod is solid, mostly metal, though still fairly light. The video head is fantastic, panning and tilting is smooth and you can control each individually, and you can quickly level it. It also collapses down to be very short, easily fits into medium sized backpacks. The case is also a nice touch, it seems good quality. The M-lock feature is a great timesaver, the legs will automatically snap into 3 positions, allowing you to set up quickly. One nice feature I didn't know about till it arrived is the mount on the side. You can connect a magic arm and mount accessories to your tripod such as a monitor or audio recorder. Very handy! So far I have no problems with it as someone who does a lot of run and gun work and needs reliable, light gear. Highly recommend, go for it if you're on the fence!
