This is a very well constructed tripod with a monopod option. Of the three tripods that I own, this one is by far the best one. I would recommend this item to anyone who enjoys taking shots outdoors.

I’ve been looking for a tripod that’s sturdy yet light weight. My photography is travel and landscape focused so these elements are essential. So delighted that this tripod is the right one for me and it’s simple to use. Compared with my previous tripod (around $500), this is not only great value but much better made and higher quality.

This is a sturdy lite weight tripod. It is good quality for standard use with small recording devices. I use it with a 12" MS-Surface Pro with out any problems. The Monopod is a nice option, though i have not yet used it. The handy carrying case was a nice bonus i did not expect.

I just got it yesterday and used it on a professional real estate shoot today and put it through it’s paces. I have been using a Manfrotto for nine years and abused the heck out of it. It still works, but not well. So I bought this and right out of the box I was impressed, and having put it to work today I’m very happy. I travel a lot doing landscape, Astro photography and now commercial work. I’m feeling very confident that this tripod is going to get it done. Great addition to my kit. Smooth action on the ball head, secure mount, easy to rapidly deploy the leges, and the ability to get really low to the ground shots added more capability to my my work flow than my old Manfrotto. Bless his heart.

You can spend a lot more money for a tripod but if you buy this tripod you will not be disappointed. The tripod is very sturdy, the carbon fiber legs feel thick and telescope out easily, the ball-head has very smooth movement and when locked in place is very sturdy. The only issue with the tripod is that separating the legs is a bit hard...stiff when you want to set up. A plus is being able to mount your camera underneath the tripod legs to get a very low angle view. The monopod works well, but it is a bit of a pain to detach the one leg that acts as the monopod and then the ball head. With this said, the monopod works well.

Overall this is a good tripod (though I have no idea how to rate its "warmth" or "thickness") it is quite sturdy. I like the overall feel and the ball head isn't half bad.However, the Arca Swiss clamp that it comes with is terrible. Even full unscrewed with the Arca Swiss plate it came with it won't completely release and you'll have to wiggle it back and forth a bit. This is in stark contrast to their B210 which I just got that has a MUCH nicer clamp. To be clear I am taking the old clamp and putting it on my amazon basics cheapo tripod, so it's not completely worthless, just not on par w/ the tripod as a whole. All things being said, good tripod, just buy a good clamp and you're all set. If this were fixed it would be a 5 star tripod.

Excellent tripod! Was looking for a lighter tripod for travelling that is both sturdy and easy to use, this works perfectly and at a good price point. Am thoroughly impressed and even purchased a separate tripod head from the same brand.I am an architectural photographer and this tripod can comfortably support my Sony a7RIII with a canon tilt shift lens and adapter. It is stable and sturdy even when extended all the way.The tripod folds up easily and fits well into the case. It is perfect for taking around with you everywhere without drawing necessary attention.
