Review: Great Inexpensive Tripod for my Nikon D500 - Great tripod for the price. I find it to be very sturdy and compact. It's compact enough that it's not a hassle to carry with me to various events. Don't be fooled, this is not a $700 tripod made out of carbon Fiber but for the price this is a sturdy tripod that is not super heavy. So far after 3 months the Tripod has worked perfectly. If I have any complaints it's that the center post does not have a hook for supporting extra weight and there is a plastic cap for the center bolt and the cap keeps popping up when I lift the Tripod out of it's bag, so I have to keep pushing it back into place 1 out of 3 times when I take this tripod out of its included carry bag.. The reality is that you do get a very sturdy aluminum tripod with a bubble level and nice easy locking legs for a very low price. Personally after hours and hours of research I could find nothing better in this price range or even for 50% more, so I am very happy with the purchase. It holds my Nikon D500 DSLR with 16-80mm zoom lens perfectly and without any vibration even on 20 second exposure Astrophotography shots.
Review: A great choice! - This tripod has many things I like and nothing I don't like. Let's work our way from the bottom up. 1) It has large rubber feet with tread and an angled surface to maintain contact as you lower the pod 2) It only has two leg extensions, it makes for quick deployment 3) It has quick clamps for quick deployment, speeds things up even further 4) It has a nice rubber handle for moving around, better than foam found on many others 5) The quick release clamps are adjustable and come with the adjustment tool attached to tripod 6) The spider and components are of alloy construction 7) The spider has four over all adjustment for legs to set height 8) The spider has two attachment points for hanging weight and/or a bag as well, they are removed from the usual center post and that is a good thing. The spider is the best place to add weight 9) The center post meets the spider with an angled contact. I believe it adds stability over perpendicular 10) The head attachment surface on top is large, precision and has an extra screw from the bottom to secure head All these fine attributes and no real complaints. It does what a tripod is supposed to does it very well, it is very stable. The overall size makes it very versatile for a range of applications. I find the form factor to be compact and streamlined in spite of its length. I worked my way to this model from cheaper models. I frist tried the Manfrotto Compact Action. No go, to flimsy and imprecise. Then I tried the Manfrotto Element MII, much better but still vastly inferior to this model. The Manfrotto 290 extra is a winner. I paired it with a Neewer Professional 35mm ball head ($30) and have a very reliable and effective tripod.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't think of anything I would change -- I love it!
*by W***F on February 2, 2025*

This is great! Super convenient. I've been using a Sirui P-326 monopod for some time, and it's also top-notch in quality. But the convenience of having just three thumb levers instead of the four screw adjusters on the Sirui makes a huge difference. The weight is about the same, and it seems to be plenty sturdy enough. Very pleased with it. Manfrotto is the best in tripods, hands down.
