Great compact travel tripod (with bonus monopod function)! I already own a heavy duty tripod for my big telephoto lenses, but I found I would avoid using it for things like macro or landscape photography because it weighs so much and is awkward to attach to my backpacks because of its length. This tripod is so light weight and compact, it fits great on my backpack and I barely notice its there.
While it technically has a weight capacity rating that can hold my big telephoto lens, I dont recommend it for those. Since the legs are thinner, it gets pretty top heavy and wobbly with that much weight on it, but it handles my smaller lenses no problem (which is what I got it for anyway).
The included ball head is nice and sturdy and allows for quick readjustment. It has a adjustable friction setting you can change depending on your camera's/len's weight.
This ball head is designed with cutouts for the tripod's legs as the tripod collapses by folding the legs up/inverted with the head in between them to save space. Just be aware if you swap the ball head for a different one, the legs might not close as compact as before depending on the shape. You could still collapse the legs downward in that situation if needed, but that will add a few inches to the height of the collapsed tripod as the head would not be inside the legs anymore. Probably not a problem for most people considering this tripod's small footprint, but wanted to point that out just in case.
Overall, great compact tripod if you need a travel friendly one.

Honest Review of Manfrotto Tripod

Expected better, too wobbly and plastic parts for the price
Really wanted to love this tripod and I did a lot of research before buying it. Unfortunately it doesn't measure up and won't work for me. It is not an unusable product by any means, but for me and the way I use it and for the name brand and price, I just expected it to blow me away with the fit, form and function.**Pros:At firs glance this tripod felt decent and looks well-made. The leg clips are very nice and snap into place and allow adjustment if they get loose in the future, which I really like. The legs extend and retract well and the bag was decent quality and fit well. The ball head has a dual tilt adjustment which allows it to be moved while "snug" then tightened down from there, a nice feature to keep your camera from dropping like a free weight. It does fold down to near 16", which is very compact.**Cons:When I first extended the legs I noted that it was "spindly", meaning that with any weight it could wobble or shake. I included a picture of the bottom legs on the Manfrotto and next to it a budget tripod I own that was $59. The Manfrotto legs are simply too thin and not stable enough when extended. I thought I could overlook it and talked myself into simply hanging a sandbag onto it to help stabilize it. That's when I noticed the bag hook was not only off-center, it was plastic. I work in the cold sometimes and the plastic hook will undoubtedly snap when under stress from a sandbag and cold, once bumped. Also, the adapter plate is too fiddly. It should simply drop in and tighten down (or snap in), but this one needs a simultaneous tilt of a release tab and a rotation of a clamp while simultaneously trying to line the plate up blind, because it is under the camera, then release the tabs to lock it in place. I'm certain with practice this would get easier, but one shouldn't have to practice this. Lastly the extension tube lock is odd, takes a lot of turns to release it and then it can be pushed down or up, but it is sticky and clunky while moving, just feels cheap. Then it needs a lot of turns and once it "feels" tight, you need to keep tightening or it will slowly slip down.So overall I'm sure it will work for someone who needs portability over everything else and maybe uses it for a cell phone indoors. But for me using heavier varied equipment in outdoor conditions with uneven ground, wind and cold, this simply won't work, and the price is too high for me give it's capabilities. Hope this helps!
