Light weight yet sturdy for the price
Very sturdy tripod yet extremely light weight to carry around while traveling. I have a heavy camera (5DM4) with a massive lens (Sigma 70-200mm 2.8) and the tripod doesn't budge at all when fully extended.

Good value!
Overall, very satisfied. Leg clamps are a little cumbersome but does not affect performance, only stowing the legs.

Love this tripod
I use this tripod for everything from shooting guns off of to using a spotting g scope for seeing Dall sheep to holding my phone setup for podcasting. It is light weight and does everything the more expensive tripods do.

Outstanding For This Price
I recently went on a backcountry wilderness hunting trip with a few fellas that have VERY expensive taste in gear… I am not a business owner, I’m not a self-made millionaire and have a family that eats up most of my budget haha. Long story short, I wanted a quality lightweight, sturdy tripod to hold my binoculars and spotting scope while out in the field. After hours of YouTube/Amazon research I settled on the Manbily tripod. The shipping was quick and when the product arrived I was pleasantly surprised at how much it resembled my buddies Vortex tripod that he paid $600 for….all-in-all I would absolutely recommend this tripod for anyone wanting a solid camera or spotting scope tripod. My rich buddy liked it so much that bought one as a “travel tripod” so he doesn’t get upset when his fancy Vortex gets bumped around in the truck haha.

Great price but still not worth it
Purchased the tripod in September. I have used it about 5 times since. Right away there was slight play in both the ball and panning. It doesn’t matter how much you tighten, still play. The real issue came when I tried to use it last weekend. It seems as if two of the pieces/tabs used to adjust the angle of the legs are completely gone. Without these pieces, the legs can not lock in place so my tripod is useless for most cameras. I guess I can put a GoPro on it without the legs collapsing but that’s all the weight it could handle Even for the price I would not purchase again
