This is the first FotoPro tripod that I used, after switching from Manfrotto. I have been using FotoPro tripods for over three years now. I have several C5i tripods, and they are incredibly durable. I have used them in all types of weather and climate, from storm chasing to the blazing desert to the frozen Arctic tundra, and I have never had a problem. Three years and 300,000+ miles across North America, and I very lucky to have had FotoPro tripods with me the whole time. Highly recommended!

I have an a6000 with a Sony fe 70-300mm lens. The weight of the lens was so heavy that the camera would droop on my old tripod. I bought the FotoPro hoping it would keep the camera from drooping...and it does. The tripod holds the camera on level without drooping. It's very portable and the legs lock quickly and easily. The ball head is solid and steady with no droop. I love this tripod.

This tripod exceeded expectations and was well worth the wait. It was very well packaged. The carrying case for the tripod was not flimsy and is well made and travels well. The tri-pod itself is lightweight yet heavy enough to hold my Nikon D750 with various lenses weighing overall between 3-7 pounds. The features are very practical.

Fantastic Tri-pod

The C5i range are a beautifully designed Aluminum-magnesium tripod which has all the functions required for a professional tripod with the addition of a built in monopod. Using an advanced anodic oxidation process these colorful tripods are wear and scratch resistant and have a sleek smooth finish. The reverse folded function enables this to be of a compact size and the construction using FotoPro advanced manufacturing technology creates a very durable and stable tripod.
Using an ergonomic G-Lock design, leg locks only need a 1/4 turn to lock or loosen the leg sections. The moulded rubber locks are easy to handle even when wearing gloves. The 2 sectioned center column can easily be reversed which is ideal for low level use and contains an attachment to hang additional weight. The C5i comes complete with a color matched FPH-52Q ball, together with a free high quality case.
