[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a Manfrotto monopod (made in Italy), and I have been a fan of their build quality. Joby has tripods made in China and Italy (not sure if they have other locations). This one in particular is made in Italy. Since I have been a Manfrotto fan, I decided to buy this one. It is amazing. Actually, it feels a lot like the Manfrotto that I purchased a while back. Pros: 1) Extends to 62.9 inches 2) Max weight load of 17.6 lbs 3) Tripod allows the camera to be up and upside down 4) Sturdy, well balanced, nice grip. 5) Carrying case included 6) Adapter for quick release for the camera 7) Made in Italy 8) Light weight. It weights 3.73 lbs. Cons: 1) Some tripods have the option to transform into a monopod. This one does not have that capability. 2) Price. There are cheaper options out there. For me, this is so well built plus it has a nice feel, so I paid the price. Would I buy this particular one again made in Italy? Answer: Absolutely!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought this tripod after purchasing (and returning) the Manfrotto tripod, which was a bit cheaper in price and build quality versus this Joby. I shoot video with my smartphones and GoPro and needed a tripod. What I like most about the Joby is the telescoping portion of the legs. They are solid feeling and the locking threads secure the legs better than the clamps used by Manfrotto equivalents. The ball head makes panning very smooth and the level is a nice touch. For those that may not know, the little hook on the bottom of the center piece is to tie down weights to keep your tripod from tipping over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tripod! It’s SO customizable and has levels to measure angles. Very portable, solidly built, and came with an attachment for my camera and my phone. I use it for content creation for work with both my Canon 6D and iPhone 13 Pro. It holds up the Canon and my heavier lenses no problem. I used to have a Manfrotto tripod, but it didn’t support an L bracket. I bought this tripod with the intention to get an L bracket for vertical shots, but the tripod has a built in drop that supports vertical shooting! Was a wonderful surprise and can’t recommend this tripod enough. It was expensive, but it was well worth the splurge especially after using the Manfrotto for 6 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this tripod for over a year and it looks amazing. It is defintely the kinda tripod that would grab attention. The problem is that the leg tends to jam where you cant close it. I reccomend being a BestBuy Totaltech member before purchasing because you might need to make an exchange.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girlfriend is an artist and I was looking for the sturdiest, outdoorsiest and user friendly tripod available for plein air paintings - this was the right choice. I used the quick connect plate that comes with it to attach a guerilla painter plein air painting box, filled with paint, brushes etc. to the top of it with no issues. She has used it on flat surfaces, softer sand, rocky mountains and more with no issues. This tripod (according to the specs) can support 2-3x the weight of other comparable models. I was impressed, she was happy and I am glad that I did my research.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my DSLR and am loving it so far. Seems very sturdy and I'm really liking it so far. The only complaint I may have is it doesn't have a handle for pan shots. I don't have an issue with this for my style of shooting but something to take into consideration.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tripod specifically for the base. I appreciate the strength of the legs, too, because I was looking for something to hold my camera securely and have confidence that it wouldn't tilt over. This tripod was the perfect item to buy for that purpose.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it for a while and it’s become second nature already when adjusting for the shot. Takes absolutely no time at all to set up and stows itself away in a very compact form. Easy to take around and travel with
