[Carbon Fiber] Very good build quality. Perfect match for my Sony A6300.

[4] A sturdy, lightweight tripod that's tall enough for astrophotography and can be configured to get the camera down low, too. Easily converts to a monopod that's long enough to keep me from straining my back. Nice case, too.

[5.49 lb] Strong & stable light tripod. Convenient to travel. Good value

[Carbon Fiber] This is exactly what I was looking for in a travel/walkaround tripod for shooting stills with a mirrorless. It's small and light, but the build quality is confidence-inspiring. You always want a margin of safety with a tripod, and I would not want to use this with an 8lb DSLR setup, but it's wonderful with a 4lb mirrorless. One unusual feature I especially like here is that the center column is keyed so it won't rotate, allowing you to really positively thread on your ballhead. The center column is aluminum which I think strikes a nice balance between weight savings and sturdiness. I also like that there's no rubber or plastic overmolding on the leg locks, so you get a really positive lock action, which should stand the test of time.


The included ball head is usable, but it is a very poor showing, and is not nearly as nice as these legs. It has angle adjustment marks for panning, but no separate control for pan, so these are decorative, I guess? Ball smoothness is mediocre, and the integrated bubble level is hidden underneath the plate, which itself is really small with hard plastic inlays at the attachment surface, so you don't get much friction. It also features not one but two fixed stop pins, for maximum frustration. I replaced this ballhead immediately with a Novoflex Ball19 I had around, and it is a superb pairing. Hey, the blue even matches!


Overall, these legs occupy a nice niche, offering quality but fairly-priced lightweight tripod that is ideal for mirrorless shooters who want to keep it light and minimal. I think the asking price is a fine value for the legs alone, so I rate this 5 stars, in spite of the throwaway ballhead. It is surprising that Benro doesn't include something nicer here- I love the ballhead on my little Benro Tablepod, so they clearly know how to make a solid lightweight ballhead.

[3/8"-16 Male] I have an A7Rv with some chunky lenses. This tripod handles everything like a champ! I have absolutely no hesitation loading this down with gear.


The Good:
Height!!! This thing goes WAY higher than I need. It's truly laughable; but is still solid.


The Meh:
The ball head works. The is slight sag when you're locking down the angle. But it's no worse (and likely better) than any other tripod with sag issues. I guess if you want to avoid clamping sag, you'll need to spring for a high-end ball head. But the tripod itself is a very decent performer.


The Conclusion:
I think I got this on sale for close to $100 (Maybe $110??). It seems like is constantly on sale.
Around $100, this is a no-brainer. At the listed price of $139, there are a few others that I would consider (3 Legged Things, SmallRig, Benro). I like this Neewer much better than the similar K&F.


It's a good studio-style tripod that's good for anything except long distance hiking. I'm loving it so far.

[3/8"-16 Male] I was looking for a light-weight photography (ballhead) tripod. Something that was carbon fiber. This checked all the boxes. I take it everywhere with me. Lately, I've even been taking it to video shoots.

[Carbon Fiber] Perfect lightweight tripod,particularly for travel use. Very sturdy, well made.

[4] Perfect

[3/8"-16 Male] I purchased this tripod for an upcoming backpacking trip to SE Asia. I wanted something light and durable that didn't take up a bunch of room. This thing seems to tick all the boxes! Feels durable and stable, while at the same time light as a feather. The detachable monopod is a game changer for me when I'm filming and for steady shots doing street photography. The twist style locks on the legs seem like the could be a hair better, but no real complaints! Definitely give this tripod a try if you're looking for an awesome travel tripod and don't want to spend $300-$600 for the other guys!

[3/8"-16 Male] Light, good quality, collapses to a pretty small size, and extends to a very tall size. Keep in mind that it is pretty wobbly when it's fully extended, but it shouldn't be an issue if you're shooting with a remote trigger.
