I understand the design requirement - create a 3-way head that is light and ‘folds up’ small. Yes, it achieves that. But the functional element didn’t work for me and I returned this in favor of a heavier Manfrotto 3-way head. I found it difficult use smoothly and, worse, the placement of the levers didn’t face you when being used in the normal way.

I always undervalued the idea of spending large sums of money on anything that wasn't the camera or audio, and for the most part, this has always been a good idea until I cheaped out on a Vivitar Tripod. That tripod was hardly useful and could easily break into a pile of sticks with just a gust of wind, so by the time it was on its literal last leg I decided to look into Manfrotto, and boy was I blown away.There has never been such a mundane product that I have gushed over as much as this and have constantly recommended to those in the market for one. I've used and abused this on many sets and it still holds up like new. The pan and tilt are still as fluid as ever, the locking system is still sturdy, the legs are built to last, and the grip on the handle is like nothing I have ever used. When you buy a Manfrotto you are guaranteed a quality product that will last you a lifetime.I bought the aluminum model which is a fair bit heavy in shoots for hiking(if possible spend a little more for the carbon fiber if you plan to carry this for long periods of time), but the construction and use of the material really make it feel premium. Never cheap out on a tripod and go for this if you want a lightweight, easy-to-use solution.

I shoot a great deal now with my smartphone - they’ve gotten so much better, and since I am not lugging around a camcorder, I wanted a lighter tripod but with a fluid head. I had used cheaper, under $50 tripods, which would cause my tripod to fall over during a wind gust. It has a hook in the center so that you can add a counter weight. More importantly, panning on those types of tripods is very difficult. The built-in fluid head on this works so smoothly - just like my heavy duty Manfrotto. But now I am so glad I don’t have to drag that big boy around. I like the clamps to extend the legs, and the legs flip up to place in the carrying back it comes with or a backpack. My only complaint, is the screw under the quick release, I wish it had a turning toggle so you can tighten the smart phone holder easily. A dime would be perfect but I rarely have a dime on me, though car keys work. But other than that, I use this with the Manfrotto smart phone grip which is the best on the market.

Got it just in time to image with my dwarf three telescope last night. Great quality and easy to set up and use.
