Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Manfrotto 709B Digi Table Top Tripod with Ball Head (Black)

Customer Review: Small and Sturdy...and Expensive
Summary: 4 Stars

I felt a bit guilty purchasing this tripod. It's a lot of money for a little piece of metal with a few movable parts. But I figure I'm worth it haha! For the price you get Manfrotto quality. The legs are very slender, solid metal and nonadjustable. This tripod feels sturdy and well made. It is very compact when folded, more so than the other brands I looked at, and this feature helped sell me because I like to travel light; it can even fit in a pants pocket.

When I attach my Canon EOS 50D in the upright position, the camera is held stable. However, the tripod cannot hold the Canon 50 vertically (portrait) without tipping over (see my photo). This can be easily remedied by put a small amount of weight on the opposite leg, such as a book, weight, etc.

The tripod has tiny cork feet glued to the underside of each leg. One of the feet had come off in the package before I even opened it. Not sure how long it will stay around before it's inadvertently lost. Be prepared to make your own replacement feet. For the price I'm surprised Manfrotto didn't do some kind of molded silicon foot or something a little more rugged.

I'm giving this tripod 4 stars because IMO it's a bit overpriced for what it is. It is a good tabletop tripod but if you're on a budget there a quite a few other makes, all cheaper. Velbon Mini and Sunpak Mini Proplus are two others I considered. Also Vanguard makes several minis. BTW, I've posted some photos in case that helps.
