Manfrotto Element MII Mobile Bluetooth MKELMII4BMB-BH, Lightweight Aluminium Travel Tripod, with Carry Bag, Arca-Compatible Ball Head, Load up 8kg, for DSLRs, CSCs, Compact Cameras and Smartphones

I’ve bought countless tripods over the years, and while they all start out great, they typically fall apart very quickly (goosenecks become loose or bouncy, phone clasps lose their grip, legs get bent easily, swaying in my home with every step or outside in the wind, etc). This tripod is the best one I’ve ever gotten - and it even has a spot where you can hang a weight in the middle below the tripod as a counterweight to increase stability (though I’ve never had to use it yet). Even when I jump up and down in my 1940s house directly next to my tripod when filming, it doesn’t budge. There are levels on the pieces that move so you can be absolutely sure your camera is level with the ground you’re filming on, and it’s not even heavy.Definitely worth the money, I 10/10 recommend for anyone who’s tired of buying a new tripod every 3-6 months and/or very serious about photography, videography, and/or content creation.

This tripod is expensive but it has less features than my $30 Amazon tripod, so save your money and just get the Amazon tripod. The only thing it got is that it is a little sturdier than the Amazon tripod but the Amazon tripod won’t fall over unless someone actually pushes it or if you did not set it up properly.
