Manfrotto Element MII MKELMII4BK-BH, Lightweight Aluminium Travel Camera Tripod, with Carry Bag, Arca-Compatible Ball Head, 4-Section Legs, Twist Locks, Load up 8kg, for Mirrorless, DSLR,Black

I love the size, stability, and quality of this tripod! Everything about this tripod feels mature, thoughtful, and polished. The rubber twist locks are thick, strong, and comfortable. The height is surprisingly good for a tall person like me. There are some heavy-duty plastic components, including the base plate. But they seem very high-quality.As far as travel tripods go, this is going to be the most sturdy. I tried other brands including the MeFoto backpacker (which is amazingly small and light) but it was too short for me and not stable enough to hold my large Canon DSLR and lenses. Other brands may offer almost the same height, but with the last leg segment barely thicker than a pencil.I also tried and returned two other non name-brand carbon fiber tripods which had the weight allowance but not the stability of legs due to rather flimsy carbon fiber legs fully extended. Finally, after a few weeks of searching, I decided to go with this Manfrotto because of the name brand and other positive reviews (elsewhere) for its stability.Other new brands seem nice but I was concerned about quality control issues and do not foresee these companies standing by their product like an established brand will. I wanted to love the carbon fiber tripods -- who wouldn't be exited about a 79" carbon fiber tripod for $99?!At the end of the day, I felt most comfortable placing my $2,000 Canon DSLR + zoom lenses on this tripod. I even walked around with the camera attached and the legs extended. No concern of the camera coming loose.If you're looking for a travel tripod, this is not going to be the lightest of the bunch. But it is still light and one of the best values out there by a reputable brand.

Great quality, quick set up, and easy to throw on the side of the pack to make sure I get those steady shots for photos and video!! It's lightweight for the durability as well!! Worth the $$$ for a quality product like this!!

A quality company, as is known, I purchased it on sale, and I was happy to receive a high-quality product, made in Italy, reaches the appropriate height, it seems that even the small parts are of good quality and of a high standard, there is room for improvement in the shape of the clip with which you change the position of the tripod legs, when the legs are open, the clip on top, which is made of plastic, seems to have been pushed in an unprofessional manner and is bent, although I did not experience any damage to the tripod due to this drawback, but certainly a reliable company should create an object perfectly, all in all an excellent tripod!

My first ever tripod. It seems very sturdy and I am very pleased with the build quality.

Very stable, easy to use and lightweight for travel. Works well with my Canon EOS RP and Canon EOS M50 MkII.

Broke on my second night using it.Update: company is super cool and sending me a new one even though I am out of Amazons return window (:

One of the leg was broken on arrival, unusable product

This tripod is exactly what I need to carry with me. As a landscape photographer, my kit can get pretty heavy. This tripod is the perfect travel partner when you need a tripod but don't want it to weigh a ton.
