3 Legged Thing Patti Flip Lock Magnesium Alloy Tripod Tripod Ballhead - Blue Black Patti

I have been looking for a tripod to replace my super heavy older heavy duty tripod. Without a 4 x 5 camera and with a new mirrorless (Sony A7RIV) which is very light I needed a simple lighter weight tripod but did not want to spend hundreds of dollars on one. For $120 this one is amazing, it's sturdy expands to a good height and seems very well made. I guess time will tell but I am delighted so far. Clever design that can be used in many ways. Read more

Overall I really like this tripod. It is very lightweight, easy to use, and looks cool! Opening and locking the legs is a quick operation, and it is reasonably sturdy. My complaints are minor; like another reviewer, I find the rubber feet get loose, and need to be tightened quite often. The hex head bolts that hold the legs also get loose, and you have to have two wrenches, one on each side, to tighten. The ring that locks the stem is a little difficult to tighten. Finally, the carry bag that comes with it is bit too small. To fit the tripod you have to collapse all the legs and reverse them, essentially turning the tripod inside out. This gets a bit annoying when I am out walking trails, and I have to go through the operation over and over again. If the bag was a couple of inches longer, I could just collapse the tripod and pop it in the bag Read more

Bigger and heavier than I expected. Overkill for my Leica M system. Very well built and solid. The ball head cloth cover was torn when I received the tripod, but I can do without it. Highly recommend if you seldom use a tripod but still want a nice one. I will invest in one of their lighter/higher end ones if the need arises. Cheers! Read more

It is a little heavy but for the price I can’t complain. All in all it really isn’t too heavy for how sturdy and how much it can lift. Well worth a purchase even if it’s just to try out, you’ll love it. Read more

Beautiful tripod, great design, lightweight, small and very clever name. I just wish they made an affordable fluid head for video! Read more

It's a sturdy tripod but kind of heavy and large. To me it's just not travel friendly and I had a hard time getting my camera positioned the way that I wanted. The way the head of this tripod is designed it's hard to make minute adjustments especially if you're zoomed in a lot. I think this would do better if you're doing landscape or portraits and you're not trying to zoom in on something especially if it's moving. Read more

Super light weight and build quality for the money is very good. Watch out for the feet. Ended up using lock tight on them to keep the rubber cleats from unscrewing themselves. Read more
