[3 Positions] Would recommend

[Yes] These are the best tripods I have ever owned. They are super light (around 3 lbs) and did not move when I had my Nikon FX with a 24-70 mm lens with the speed light. I even tried putting additional pressure to see if the camera moved. Stayed perfectly balanced in portrait mode (tilted 90 degrees). Very versatile and comes with counter weight holder in case needed for artistic angles. Carrying bag is a big plus and folds down to just under 2 feet. I’ve used it in windy conditions and in uneven terrain. They don’t move. Worth the money and I can’t wait to travel with them!

[Ball Head] Very well made and easy to use. And buying from B&H it was a very good price

[90°] This is a very high quality tripod.
Worth every penny.
I really love this Carbon fiber tripod and it come with a nice ball head.
This tripod feels beefy but is also nice and light.

[Yes] I bought this as my lighter option in comparison to my older Manfrotto 055 Mag Fiber one. I am reasonably impressed with the weight and quality. I have not used the ball head long enough to compare it against my older Manfrotto head ball 488. Though, my initial impression is very positive.

[Ball Head] This is one truly great tripod. I have two other tripods. One is the Manfrotto 055MF4, which is also a carbon fiber tripod. It maybe sturdy but is still somewhat heavy. The tripod alone weights 5.3 lbs. Add a decent Ball Head it would be about 10 lbs. So for non-critical photo trips I would carry a MeFoto 5-section aluminum tripod. Compare to the Manfrotto tripod the MeFoto one is lighter and shorter when fully folded . However it's not as sturdy. When the camera is mounted, the tripod legs would squat outward. Also under windy condition it vibrates. So when I saw the ad for this tripod I was somewhat skeptical. After I read all the rave reviews I decided to take a plunge. Once I received this Fofopro tripod it was love at first sight. I am really surprised how intelligent the design of this tripod is: The way the retractable center column screw head for the hook would come out, The conversion to a monopod, the reverse folding legs, the spikes that hide under the rubber boots, etc. Also I can't believe how light this Fotopro tripod is. It's even lighter than the 5-section MeFoto travel tripod. I attached my camera (D850 with 24-70, F/2.8 lens) to it and it felt solidly sturdy. It has the feel of quality material and workmanship. It's not battle tested yet, but it seems to be a winner!

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] This is the new iteration of their travel tripod Ive had for a few years and Im a big fan. Lightweight but sturdy, easy to set up, and you can feel the quality when youre holding it. Great bang for the buck. Its my go-to travel and backcountry tripod.

[3 Positions] This is the first tripod I have ever bought so I don't have much to compare it to.


Things I do know:
- it's light
- it holds onto my camera,
- it seems sturdy to me
- the construction seems quality


I'm happy i got it!

[Carbon Fiber] Coming from a $70 tripod, right out of the box I fell in love with the feeling, smoothness, looks, and how sturdy it was. Building great confidence already. I've been saving and looking for a long time now, with a great discount I didn't hesitate on this. I know I'll be using this for many many years! Would I pay full for this? No. But at the discount, having a much sturdier, quicker setup is 100% worth the investment. 5/5!!

[Yes, Round] I had seen the Fotopro Tripods at the PhotoPlus Convention here in NYC and was impressed with their quality. Purchased from B&H the following day. The fit and Finnish is first class. Leg Locks are quick and secure. Tripod folds to 18.5 inches and extends to 6 feet --note* the dimensions B&H List in their description are incorrect and not for the X-Go Max Model. Suggest you go to the Fotopro web site for correct dimensions.
