[Yes] I'm using this tripod with my Sony A7s. It is lightweight and sturdy and having the monopod option is invaluable. My only complaint is the QR plate. I wish it were a standard sized manfrotto plate, but I knew that it wasn't when I bought it so I really can't knock it.

[Carbon Fiber] I need a small but versatile tripod to bring with me along with my DJI Phantom 3 and this tripod is solid many configuration option and with the detachable leg to use as a monopod is a plus. I'm very happy with the purchase of this item from Benro.

[4] Some other reviews have discounted the usefulness of the tripod of the lack of a true fluid head with smooth panning. This is NOT a big professional tripod and it is not trying to be that. However, for a minimal 3 pounds it packs a lot of functionality. It folds up pretty small and has a decently functional video head that will let you get smooth video on the go. To get it the smallest packing size, the legs fold up in reverse. The video head does get in the way a bit to get them to fold completely smooth and there is some girth to the legs so it it not as compact as a PD travel tripod, but it is also a fraction of the price. I needed a tripod that I can throw into a suitcase and travel with a couple of cameras to do simple video shoots. This fits my needs perfectly. The video head is also quite nice for the price. It is well made and seems like it will hold to to many years of service.

[4] I've had it for 2 weeks now and I simply love it. It's my first more expensive tripod and I got to say it's worth every penny! It's very stable and solid, it feels premium and easy to operate and what really makes it very attractive for that price is not only the quality built but also that it can transform into monopod. It's perfect for aspiring filmmakers with a dsrl in their bag.

[Flip Lock] My wife just bought me this tripod for gift, and i love it.

This thing could hold my EOS RP with RF 24-105 f4 in a very windy situtation for long exposure shots and all came perfectly sharp.



I love the the moving plate on the head which really helps to balance the weight more accurately.



I also like how small and lightweight it is, i could carry it on my backpack - Lowpro Tahoe 150 (pretty small backpack) with no problem at all.



The head smoothness could be better especially in tilt move.



But for that price you pretty can't get any better tripod (with video head)

[Carbon Fiber] Compact, light weight, and leveling ball. Marginal head for video, but the best part for me is the flip lock legs. This is major to me. I wouldn't have any other kid of leg lock on a travel tripod. I bought this to replace an old worn out travel tripod that I used for years. This is a little heavier, and not as compact, but worth it. It has quickly become my favorite.

[+90° to -55°] Using for video with Canon 6D, 25-110mm lens and Rode Video Mic. 5 stars because it does what it says it does. But as it is a small and light tripod you need to be careful about wind impact and your own contact with the camera. Not thrilled with the fluidity of the head but didn't expect a pro level for this. But as I said does whit it says it will do. And very good value for money.

[3 Positions] I bought this because I needed a good lightweight tripod for traveling. Love it. It's so simple to set up! The full height is perfect.

[4] I purchased this tripod a year ago and it has been serving me great. It's very light and easy to carry around. The legs and the tripod head are fully adjustable so I had no worries about leveling it. You have the option to put extra weight on the tripod, but I didn't have problems with shaking or anything even though I use a mid-sized DSLR. It's really nice that they included a carrying bag and a set of spikes for more grip in some situations. Since it's intended to be a light traveling tripod, there are some compromises in the fluid head; it wiggles when the pan and tilt knobs are completely loose and it's not the smoothest of them all, but it makes the job done well enough for me. Also I noticed that the little screw for the plate couldn't spin all the way because my camera was getting in the way but maybe it's yust because of my camera. But besides that it's a very solid option for the price and I don't regret buying it.
