Perfect and Reliable!
I lost my old quick-release plate, this one was the perfect replacement. It screws on and off really easily and clips in tightly to the tripod.

Worth every $ paid
I bought this for my Nikon D80. This tripod stands above the others. It is worth every $ paid for its purchase. And this place is where I have done most of my purchases.

Great tripod for the money!
I use the Manfrotto with a Canon HFS100 camcorder that is piggybacked onto an XLR microphone preamp. The weight is no problem for this sturdy tripod and the adjustments of the head are super-smooth. No levels are included on the head, but this is a realtively minor inconvenience.

Great relatively lightweight tripod
No complaints so far, it is lightweight as expected with aluminum. Not as light as carbon fiber, but for the price you can't beat it. Great tripod for my mirrorless and small dslr cameras.

Solid Little Tripod
I have a number of tripods including a couple of Manfrottos. The purpose for this one was to provide a decent platform for my Nikons while backpacking in the back country. So the tripod's weight needed to be balanced against its stability and features. I have the Manfrotto Compact Action which is technically lighter but the ball head is frustrating. This Compact Advanced provides solid, predictable control on both the vertical and horizontal axis while providing a solid platform.

Great compact tripod
This tripod is great for taking out for shooting when you need something portable: It folds up to a nice short length, fits inside its small bag, and is very light to carry around and easy to set up quickly. It is nice to be able as well to adjust the legs to different equal lengths and to easily bimanually adjust the head. The bag has a drawstring which can be used as a shoulder strap to carry on your shoulder.

Fine Italian Design
Spent hours researching tripods for travel and came up with this choice. Fits on my bicycle or over my shoulder in the carrying case. It's well constructed,fairly lightweight, and very well designed. Everything you need in a portable tripod, the fact that it doesn't have a sight level means little to me, since i can tell when the camera is level. The overall height of tripod fully extended makes it much nicer that what I had been using. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this tripod to anyone looking in the $ range.

Simple and Beautiful
This tripod has been the most beneficial. It is sturdy and dependable. This is easy to store and carry to various job sites. This is simple enough to set up in such a short amount of time.

Very useful and a great buy for a student photographer
I've used it in completing almost all my photography class assignments. Small and light enough for a petite person like me to carry around, yet very stable even at maximum extension. Easy to handle, and it looks good as well. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because the two separate handles are not always the most convenient or easy to manage. B&H services was great on this first purchase. Will order from B&H again.

Good value
I have two tripods, one that weighs 6 pounds and works well under all conditions especially when there is wind, but it's a pain to carry around. The Manfrotto tripod I am reviewing weighs a lot less and folds up nicely, hence good for taking on hikes, etc. I feel the value is there however if I had a wish list it would be: 1. pre-tension on the head, if the handles are loose the camera flops and 2. a way to hang a rock or some other heavy object from the center of the tripod to make it more stable outdoors. Other than those two items I am a happy camper.

Great tripod for price
I teach journalism at the high school level and have students working with gear all year. Manfrotto tripods are a great value for basic functionality. They are easy for anyone to figure out and set up, light weight for mobility, and get the job done. Of course, a better head for video would be nice, but for the price, we make this work.

Lightweight, but doesn't properly fit all Manfrotto heads
Lightweight, but I found it does not properly fit every Manfrotto head that uses this style plate. This lightweight version (200LT-PL) plate must be slightly bigger in size than its aluminum cousin, as it does not clear the locking lever even when the locking lever is fully released. I had to use a small straight-slot screwdriver to pry the plate from the head.

Great compact tripod.
Used mostly for shooting landscapes on the CA coast, long exposure shots, and in my ultimate selfie project. Folds very compact, also the center bar slides out to make it even smaller. Fits into a regular size backpack quite easily. The legs are very sturdy even when fully extended. The camera mount rotates in every conceivable direction. I can't think of a thing that I'd change.

Sweet!
The height adjustment cannot be beat. Easy adjustable tilts in all directions. Only thing- the bag shouldn't be white?!?!? The tripod can be wiped down-but not a nylon bag.

Excellent tripod, good cost-quality
I use this tripod for every day / casual photography and it does an outstanding job. It's compact, and light so I can carry it around when I'n doing street photography. I'm very happy with it.

Portability
For a great tripod with ease in setting up and extremely portable, give this a try. I've taken it out for many location shoots and have found it to be a trustworthy ally.

It's a Joy!
I have used this tripod mostly for family photos and such. It is stable, easy to set up, and comes with a handy carrying case. I, also, enjoy the quick release. What else can I say? It is also light at about 3 lbs.

sturdy
This is SO much better than the first tripod I bought. I feel safe walking away from my camera when it's on this tripod. I wish it had a level bubble - that would make this a 5-star review.

Fustrating & Infuriating
Set up directions are in a Fustrating & Infuriating small font size as are the electronic drawings which are themselves in a difficult to read and understand black & white instead of color. Quick release plate is too small to use on the larger Manfrotto tripods. There's no way to adapt a fluid head to this tripod. Manfrotto offers essentially no customer support - takes them 2 weeks to answer an email.

light , easy to use
I was looking for a light and easy to use tripod that had two handles that allowed mobility in both directions. This will work.

Great to carry around
I run around filming exhibits in crowded convention centers and such. Carrying a heavy tripod can be quite a hassle. Getting this manfrotto has made my life so much easier. I love the aluminum body, its not heavy at all. fits on my small manfrotto bag fits in my smaller suitcase as i fly all over the states for these shows. Love the fact that it is a dual head. Do not love that it does not have a bubble. Leveling becomes a guessing game. the seco... Show More

compact and lightweight
I was looking for a lightweight tripod that would be comfortable to carry around all day. My other tripod is rock solid and heavy, and it carries like a rock as well. Nice lightweight, had a decent head on it too, overall its a pretty good buy. I am sure I will be carrying it around a lot more than I was with the old one.
