Good balance between portability, sturdiness and price.
Maximum portability results in loss of sturdiness. Maximum rigidity results in increased weight and price.This tripod sacrifices perfect sturdiness for a device which is reasonably compact and lightweight. But coupled with a camera like my Canon R6 and 150-600mm lens, both with image stabilisation, it still offers a good platform for reliable results.Only negative point is one of the spiked feet worked loose and got lost and they only come in packs of three, so I'm stuck using the rubber feet.

Excellent value for money
This is the SMALL version (not convertible into a monopod) but it is surprisingly sturdy and useful. It is lightweight and it is small enough to throw it in a backpack or a bigger bag. I own a 190 so I was looking for something inexpensive and can be carried around in the city. It does exactly that. It easily holds my Nikon Z6 (L bracket attached) with the (old) 24-70 f2.8. It is sturdy enough especially when you are not extending the central column and it has hook to hang your bag to add extra stability. Also there are a set of spikes delivered to use instead of the rubber feet if needed. There is one downside though. It does come with an arcaswiss compatible head however I found that the screw holding the plate is sticking out so your L plate or rig is not going to fit properly. My Smallrig bracket (for Nikon Z6) does have this problem but I am using a different head so the problem solved. I gave the four stars anyway since this is not a pro level tripod and will definitely will meet 90% of the expectations. If you need a pro tripod there are other options out there. For this price it is an excellent value for money if you are looking for a light, small but still sturdy enough tripod. It comes with a set of spikes, a nice bag and the head can be changed.

Great quality as ever from Manfrotto. This tripod is light, the screw locks on the legs are robust and sturdy. The ball head is supplied with a QR plate. Superb vakue for money.

Portability warriors best tripod
Love this tripod. Portability is key for me. Looked into other alternatives like the peak design, gitzo and other Manfrotto, this one is the best combination of price, size, weight and true portability.

Broke after 2 months
I have always used Manfrotto Tripods and I wanted a Lightweight one this time. It was great until it broke. I loved how sturdy and lightweight it was. Unfortunately, the quality is not that great and one of the legs broke after 2 months of usage. Extremely disappointed and it seems I cannot get a refund anymore...

Disappointing
Do not bother. Have other manfrotto podz which are good, this one is not.
