Minor complaints: hook for adding weight is loosley attached but still fine. NO bubble level. Would be perfect if had a bubble level somewhere or 3 easylinks (which you can hang stuff on anyway. But for build quality, height, folded size, quick release and price itd the best value tripod compared to cheaper manfrotto and all other brands. Solid head as well.

This tripod is a very good balance between weight/size and stability. An extremely light tripod simply cannot handle a heavier camera. For my use with a high-end mirrorless camera with large lenses, this tripod is very stable and small enough to fit in my backpack.The head is able to lock and still provide smooth panning, so it works well with video.Of course, the cost is not cheap, but digitec's current price is well below the overall market and a good value.

High quality tripod with great features. It weighs 2.68 lb per my scale. It has a friction control for the ball like larger, heavier tripods. It is easy to operate and will be first choice among my tripods.

This is a good all in one tripod/head/plate combo, stable and easy tos et up/break down. Great entry level tripod for landscape photography. My main complaint is that I'm 5'9 and especially in vertical orientation I had to bend down to use my viewfinder, even with the center post extended to the max height.
The Manfrotto Carbon Fiber tripod is perfect for me. Lighter than my old one, also stronger. It is easy to set up then put away. Quite sturdy with my Nikon Z6ii and a 70-300 lens. I haven't used it yet with my 150-600 zoom but think it will be fine also. It's light enough and small enough that I can strap it to the side of my camera bag which holds one body and two lenses, etc. and still doesn't strain my back. I am 77 years old so weight is important to me.
Works great. Easily holds my Nikon camera with 70-300 lens attached. Folds up nicely for travel. The only quibble I have is it is still heavy - yes I know they squeezed out all the weight they could for travel. I attach it to the side of my backpack and it twists the backpack. Otherwise it?s awesome for travel.
I have used this tripod only a couple of time but so far I am happy with the purchase. This tripod is very light (that was the main reason for getting the carbon fiber version) and solid built. I used it with 5DM4 and EF100-400 on it without any problem. I do like all these Manfrottos security and fool proof features implemented (they slows down operating a bit at the beginning, but once you get used to it, you will love it).
I haven't used it a ton yet, but the few times I have it's been solid, the legs are easy to extend and retract. It feels really sturdy, as my camera (Nikon 610) and lens (105mm) are a heavy combo. The carry bag is convenient. It's not super light-weight, but it's not crazy heavy either. I like it and would recommend.
I wasn't sure that I would like the twist locks (All of my other Manfrotto monopods and tripods have had the cam locks, which I thought worked great and are easy to keep clean.), but I was pleasantly surprised how easy to use they were. As a nature and wildlife photographer only time will tell if the twist locks are prone to getting dirt in them. It is truely light weight, it weighs only half of what my larger Manfrotto tripod and head does, and only 1 lb. more than my Manfrotto monopod and head. The ball head acepts the traditional Manfrotto quick relaease plates that I have been using for over 20 years, but has been updated to also accept the Arca-Swiss plates which some people prefer. Overall I am very pleased with it.
My point of comparison is a very sturdy old friend (brand withheld) with lead pipes for legs. Seriously heavy, it seldom left the house. When one of the clasp-type leg fasteners broke, it was time to upgrade.There's so much to love about this tripod, but most of all it weighs so little, and slips neatly into the side pocket of both of my favorite day-packs. Love the twist-lock legs, and the ball head is smooth.I'm really happy with this purchase.
