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

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!!

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 value for the money. Very sturdy and lightweight for the price. I got the mono for birding.

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.

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

Used this to remote video with my phone. Worked great. The tripod is very sturdy ( my last one broke when flimsy plastic cracked). This was easy to set up and manipulate for the perfect view.
