Camera Tripod, Manbily 63" Carbon Fiber Tripod for Camera, Compact Tripods & Monopods Stand for DSLR, with 360° Ball Head Quick Release Plate and Phone Mount, Compatible with Canon Nikon Sony

Was a little nervous about buying a no-name tripod but I have been very impressed with the quality of this tripod, especially for the price.Pros:Carbon fiber looks great and the tripod feels solid and well built.Tons of adjustability. Conversion to monopod very easy.Ballhead is easy to adjust and I have not experienced any movement. I'm shooting with an A7 with a battery grip and big 24-70 2.8 which is decently heavy and the camera is secure.Portability and compactness- this folds down nicely and while it's still kind of tall, it has a small footprint.Cons:Nitpicking here, but the clips which adjust the angle of the legs does not automatically re-seat when the legs are moved. You need to lift the clip, move the leg, and then press the clip back down to lock the leg in place.With the two mounts for the ballhead, there is a little closed loop which turns which prevents the mount from being pulled out. It would be nice for the loop to be replaced with a hook so that you could hang your bag for more weight/stability but I got around this by simply adding a carabiner and then connecting my bag.Overall, I'd recommend this tripod. I had previously purchased an aluminum tripod with more features but this Manbily is far superior. It's lighter, seems stronger, more compact, and easier to use. For the $$ spent, I think it's a great value.

The media could not be loaded. This Budget carbon fiber tripod Is Amazing! I love road trip and love taking photos of the spectacular natural scene with my Sony camera. A tripod, especially light tripod, is really what I need for road trip and Hiking. What I had before is aluminum metal tripod Which does It's job but too heavy. That's why I bought this one online. Other carbon fiber tripod costs more than 300 dollars but this one costs not half that but 1/3 of 300. Im surprised by its quality. Three legs are made of carbin fiber and the monopod from is super light, only 180grams without tripod head. The only complain I have is that the stick in the middle is metal not carbon fiber Which makes the whole thing a little bit heavy. Other than that, perfect for a Budget carbon fiber tripod. Recommend:)

When I opened it, I wanted to love it, so neat and nicely folded, looked sleek and felt light. I extended the legs, and felt assured. Still all good. Then I try the head and the center pole. It’s horribly wobbly, completely unusable for any purpose. You could perhaps make use of this tripod if you are short enough for the legs to be at the right height without the pole, remove the gasket on the short pole that comes with it (flush mount), and mount your camera flush on the legs. But that’s it. The pole fixture has one screw to tighten it, and even when very firmly tightened, the pole still wobbles (doesn’t move up or down, but it pivots around where the screw tightens). I’ll be returning this tripod later this week. Shame, seemed so nice at first.Update:Feel compelled to update this review because of the excellent responsive feedback and attempts to fix the issue from the seller. They promptly contacted me and after a brief exchange where I'd told them I was already returning the item, offered to send a new one, presumably for me to test if the returned one was defective. I've done preliminary testing of the replacement. It is certainly better. I do still feel the head fixture is too loose compared to similarly sized/designed tripods which use a collar type center pole fixture. If I tighten the pole down very tight (I'm a big guy with strong hands), it can still wiggle it a bit under load, but now the amount of force needed to do so is not trivial. I'd say after aggressive tightening, for a mirrorless camera with a moderate size lens, or in windless/low-wind conditions with a larger setup, the wigging should not be an issue. For "pro" work, I'd expect you'd be searching elsewhere regardless, but for an amateur or even enthusiast who likes the $, low weight, compactness, and nice quick (unmatched?) system for reversing the pole for low shooting, this tripod presents a very good compromise and significant value worth considering and trying out for your setup.

I bought this Manbily CF tripod for an angled spotting scope, and have found it to be very stable for extended glassing.It's also very lightweight for its stiffness, as befits a carbon fiber tripod.Seems well built, with good fit & finish. I was surprised at how good the ball head is, with its smooth ball joint and nice fluid pan.And the price is very good relative to other CF tripods of similar design.Great little value in a stable, light, and versatile field pod for spotters, binos, and long SLR lenses. The weight rating is legit. Can deffo support a medium format camera or flash head in a studio or esp location setting.

This is my first large tripod (I only had a very small one before), and it exceeded all of my expectations. It is lightweight, sturdy, intuitive to use, and has nice features like the bubble level tool, inverse mounting, monopod, travel bag, phone clamp, and it looks sleek too. I would recommend this to anyone. Even though it's a bit more expensive than other aluminum options this appears to be much more durable and higher quality, and it's way cheaper than other carbon fiber options. After extensive research I decided this was my best value option and I think I made a correct decision because I'm very happy with it. It appears to be all pros and no cons.

This tripod is awesome! I use it for my binoculars while hunting it’s nice and light and is really high quality

The media could not be loaded. Bought this tripod a year ago, and for the cost it's a nice little on the move tripod for a light DSLR set up. packs down small, weighs next to nothing, and even with one of Manbily's smaller pan-tilt heads on it will fit in a very small case. Biggest issue is the feet. They are hot-glued in (and poorly glued at that). So as you can see in the video of this review, they will just start popping off. Still not a bad buy for the cost, but gotta plan to do something about the feet.

Great Tripod and easy to use!!

I bought ths so it fits easily in a small suitcase to make plane travel easier.Shorter and lighter than my old aluminium tripod.Comes with head and camera footplate with usual 1/4" screw. Easy to mount and dismount.Has 2 bubble spirit levels to check level in horizontal and vertical planes.Unfortunately, once the camera is mounted, it obscures the horizontal level -Poor design there, otherwise good.

お手頃価格なカーボン三脚を探していて評価の高いUlanzi MT-60を検討していたのですが、セールで安くなっていたYS-254Cを購入しました。届いてから細部を確認したところカラーリングが違う部分もありますがUlanzi MT-60と同じ製品のようです。付属のケースもロゴ以外は全く同じです。Manbilyは複数のメーカーに三脚等をOEM供給しているようでUlanzi のMT-60、MT-61も同様のようですね。三脚自体は、カーボン脚とアルミ部品なのでプラスチックを使用しているものとは比べ物にならないぐらいしっかりしています。自由雲台もアルミ製でフルサイズ＋大三元ズームを載せても不安感はありません。但し、エレベーターは構造上遊びがあり上げると振れの原因になりそうです。カーボン脚自体は非常に軽いのですがアルミ部分と雲台が重たいためトータル重量はそこそこあります。プラスチックパーツを使用した5段三脚より持ち歩きの手軽さは劣りますが高価な機材を載せるのでこの点は割り切りが必要でしょう。折り畳むとスリムにはなりますが長さはそれなりにあり、重さもあるので付属のバッグに入れての持ち歩きになりますが可搬性は良いです。付属バッグはクッションも入っていてしっかりしていますので持ち運びにも良いです。脚の伸縮はワンタッチでなくナット式ですが個人的にしっかり留まるナット式の方が好みで良いと思います。雲台のボール固定ネジが大き目なのも良いです。唯一、不満点は石突がネジではなく被せゴムな点です。耐久性は問題がありませんがスパイク石突などに交換はできません。その他は文句のつけようがありません。

三脚部にあるセンターポール締め付けを締めてもセンターポールが少しグラつく普通これくらいの三脚ならあまり無いと思いますが他は軽量で何も問題ないんです

カーボンはやはり軽いです。新幹線を利用した旅の場合はこの程度の大きさ、軽さがほしいと思い購入しました。数回使った半年後、残念ながら製造上の不具合が発生したのですが、連絡をとったところ、しっかりとしたアフターサービスを提供していただき、安心しました。

割りとしっかりしてます。脚の伸縮はリングを回して緩めて～というタイプですが、けっこう回さないと緩まない／締まらないのが面倒といえば面倒です。ここはレバー式のほうが楽かな。あとセンターポール。けっこう遊びがあって、ネジを緩めるとユルユルでガタガタです。もうちょっとピッチリ嵌っていれば高級感も増していいんでしょうけど。あともうちょっと太くてもいいですね。
