Versatile Tripod

I love this tripod. It's not the lightest, and it's not the smallest, but the versatility and stability are excellent. If I could have afforded it, ideally I would have gone with the 4-section carbon fiber model, but at 3x the price I decided to compromise. The plus side to the slightly heavier weight is incredible stability. The 3-section section makes it slightly long for me, but still easy enough to transport for travel photography. It comes with a great carrying case and shoulder strap also, making hikes and day-long city tours a breeze. The range of adjustability, especially if you purchase the [$] short topshaft, is insane. You can go from just about at ground level all the way up to well over 6ft when the camera is mounted. I wear weary of the twist clamps and security of them (envisioned incorrect tightening would lead to a topple of my expensive equipment) but they have been great. Very easy and quick to expand and collapse and havent had any issues. Great tripod, go for it!

Great tripod

I carry the tripod with my on hikes. Extension of the legs is fast and easy. Support is great for a portable unit, not to heavy to carry in, total height of the tripod is great - no leaning over to see into the viewfinder.

Great Product

I would have liked it to fold a little smaller- but other than that- this is a great piece of gear. Not as light-weight as carbon- but I think it is nearly just as stable. It works great and fits my needs for a decent price.

Good Basic Tripod

I use this tripod for everyday general use, outside in bad weather or inside. For the price its well built and looks great. The MT9251 are just the right size for me, not too big to carry and big enough to be stable. They do not fold down as much as 3 section legs and weigh a bit more than carbon. But overall they are light enough and strong enough and short enough, to be just right for most people under 6' tall. And that do not carry them all day for a living. Also the twist type leg locks are faster than you may think because you can un-tighten or re-tighten both locks on a leg at the same time.

The MT Series Tripods have a unique style and are highly versatile. MT professional classic tripod series are made from classic aluminum by a precision manufacturing process, elaborately assembled by hand to ensure maximum stability and security.

The center column can be reversed to position the camera upside down. It includes non-slip foam rubber sleeves, non-slip shoulder strap, carrying bag, and bubble level and compass. All MT Series Tripods have quick releases for individual leg spread at different angles.

Each giotto's head has been carefully designed to work with a specific tripod. They are engineered to position the camera precisely in the required shooting position with a minimum of fuss for optimum results.

The heavily anodized aluminum ball lets you make camera positioning adjustments more smoothly than ever before by eliminating all vibration and skipping so you can frame the perfect photograph the first time without wasting precious seconds on micro corrections.

Add ergonomic design and advanced precision engineering to guarantee high performance locking and your camera is not only quickly adjusted but also rapidly and securely locked where you want it.
