The fit and lockability aspects also get mixed reviews, with customers noting it fits perfectly in packs but doesn’t fit in the travel bag, and while the lever locks are secure, one customer finds them hard to operate.

Title: Ideal size and wieght for a backpack size tripod
Review: 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.

Title: Good item for the money, it is modern.
Review: 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.

Title: Typical Manfrotto tripod, sturdy and efficient
Review: Typical Manfrotto quality. An excellent tripod for my needs, light and easy to use. It did take me a minute or two to figure out mounting the baseplate to the head.

Title: Does not work with lens mount. Only camera
Review: I wasted a good hour of my time to figure out this special sony plate will only work on my camera. What if you want to use a lens mount for wildlife photography? You’re SOL because this mount will not fit anything else. Only the camera.
