The legs are easily locked and released via twist locks on each of the three stages of this 4-section tripod.

The Aero 2 PRO is built for compact cameras and supports payloads up to 5.5 lb. It offers vertical tilt movement and a full 360° pan range, and it has independent pan and tilt locks, so you can set your camera into a locked position when you need to.

The Aero 2 PRO can also be converted into a monopod. One of the tripod legs is removable and can be combined with the center column to turn the system into a monopod, which can be useful in many mobile applications. To set it up this way, simply remove the tripod head along with the center column, unscrew one of the tripod legs, and attach it to the center column.

The Aero 2 PRO has a reversible design wherein the tripod legs fold back when you're ready to pack the tripod away. When the tripod is reversed this way, the folded length becomes only 21".

An included camera plate features a standard 1/4"-20 mounting screw for attaching your camera.

The tripod feet have rubber footpads on them, but these can be removed to reveal native spiked feet. Between these two foot types, you can securely use the tripod on smooth surfaces as well as soft ground.

A pan bar is also included and can be attached to either the left- or right-side rosette mount for your choice of left- or right-handed operation.

Seth	13/08/2024
[6.225 lb] Bought this one as a more compact, lighter weight version of my other Manfrotto. Ended up swapping out the plate with a Desmond DAC60 so I can use it with my ARCA plate. Stable enough for long exposure shots and easy to setup/take down. 5

Robbin	01/08/2024
[Yes] When I travel (fly) I need equipment that is somewhat compact and light weight. This tripod was just the right size and weight to hold telephoto and zoom lenses without taking up too much room in a suitcase. 5

Tintin	24/07/2024
[Yes] Pros: - One of the lightest travel tripods for the money. - Compatible with regular RC2 plate. - Compact enough to fit on the side of most backpacks. This enable me to carry it everywhere. Cons: - Still relatively short without extending center column. - Short column cost extra and it cannot be used side way. 5

Bethany	17/07/2024
[Yes] I'm using as my B cam (Canon R7) tripod and for that it's great. No frills mostly but still has the useful leveling base. Terrific value especially when it's on sale. 5
