I’m impressed with this tripod. It’s light enough to take on a long walk without being cumbersome but it’s still sturdy enough. You can’t add too much weight like lights but if you’re filming outside and need to be mobile and able to get the tripod up quickly then I would recommend. Good value for money. I’m always happy with SmallRig kit and this is no exception.

Excellent tripod for cameras well made quality tripod

This is a really good, really versatile tripod but it has one little flaw that you have to watch out for. If you remove the tripod head and centre column completely to attach to the monopod leg then chances are very good that a little plastic sleeve that should stay attached to the centre column when will detach and stick in the tripod base. You probably will have a great deal of difficulty removing the sleeve and you'll need a set of needle nosed pliers to remove it. I'd recommend just removing the head and attaching to the monopod leg. You will lose a little height on the monopod but there will be a lot less cursing.

I own a professional heavy-duty tripod to mount my professional video cameras on but now I'm using smaller cameras a lot more to make videos such as my iPhone and DJI Osmo Pocket 3. So I needed something lighter and more transportable than my old heavy tripod. This Smallrig camera tripod is perfect for me now and so light-weight to transport yet stable and strong enough to mount my new cameras on.

Great quality and love the flexibility, can think of lots of different shot options now with the really low and high options this allows, very rugged

I would have given it 5 stars as it is light, packs small, and works both as a tripod and monopod.The only reason I’ve knocked stars is because I find that it takes longer than I want to get the meter on it to be level which is super important . Otherwise it’s great

I gave it five stars for the price. I bought this to replace my ageing Manfrotto travel tripod. While these small lightweight tripods are very good at lightening the load on a day out they aren't the most stable especially at full height. I choose to live with the minor shortcomings as the upside of portability more than makes up for them for me. I have used it a couple of times with my Sony mirrorless a7 and it went well, I have yet to see how it goes with my Nikon D800. I like the functionality and I am happy with the purchase as it was made with my expectations at least met and for the price I think it’s well worth your consideration.
