    Good Points: Its small and lightweight.


    Bad Points: The head doesnt lock solidly, the leg clamps break easily


    General comments: Having seen many of these tripods I would wholly recommend that you buy something else.
    The plastic used in the manufacture is of a very cheap standard, such that the leg clamps can spring open when locked, or even pull the hinges out!
    It is however designed solely for use with digital compacts and handycams... so the previous reviewer was asking for trouble putting a dslr on it.
    Having said that, the Manfrotto 785B isnt even good enough for a compact.

    The Manfrotto 785B tripol folds up to a small compact size, stable even at full length. Price is good. I though this would solve my problems when try to get straight horizontal and vertical shots but boy was i wrong. The handle is in a poor position which can sometime stop you from looking into the cameras view finder - you have to arch over the hanlde :( its very difficult for me to get the head level straight due to its "pivet on a ball action". There is a lock feature but its takes far too ...
