NEEWER 68"/172cm Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod Monopod with Center Column, 360° Panorama Ball Head, Arca Type QR Plate, Bag, Compact Lightweight Travel Tripod Max Load 26.5lb/12kg, N55C

Great lightweight travel tripod without the expense of going for a carbon fibre one. Tripod reaches a great height and you can also spread the legs out for low level photography and reverse the central tube too. Easy to adjust the legs individually with the flip locks which seem strong and well made. Build quality seems excellent so far and it will happily support my camera. Ball head is very easy to use and offers plenty good enough range of movements. Folds down very compactly and fits well inside the supplied carry bag with a decent length shoulder strap. My first Neewer purchase and am really impressed so far.

This carbon fibre, full height, tripod is quite a bargain. It’s not inexpensive but is about half the price of near alternatives and comes with a decent ball head and carry case. I’ve had various bits of Neewer kit and always found it practical and good quality - this tripod carries on the tradition. I searched for quite some time before deciding on the Neewer but I’m glad I made the decision I did. Brand snobs need not apply but if you want a solid, lightweight tripod with no frills this is your boy. You could reduce the weight even further by changing the head for a smaller, lighter one - depending on your use case. In my opinion, it’s best suited to general landscape type photography. A heavy camera and lens combo might be too much but any “normal” camera with up to maybe a 300mm should be absolutely fine. I use tripods every day for my work so I am a little fussy. I own various Manfrotto’s and a crazy expensive Gitzo (that I got cheap) but for the ultra light kit I bought this tripod for, it’s absolutely fantastic without breaking the bank. I have no idea of its durability over time but it seems solid to me. If you’re thinking it’s still a bit pricey and considering a cheaper aluminium option - don’t if you can avoid it. Carbon fibre is lighter, absorbs vibrations much better and is nicer to work with in the cold. Good luck finding a better tripod for the price!

The main advantage of this tripod is the maximum lifting height of the camera, with my height it is advantage no.1. Stability, well, at the maximum height, there is nothing to cling to, it may wobble a bit sometimes, but not that it is somehow an unstable tripod. You just can't change the laws of physics. It is also a light argument for. It is stable on your legs, when you stretch out one "neck" it is still stiff, only when the other one loses its stiffness. The conversion to a monopod could be easier, I mean faster, because it's not a big deal to unscrew, screw on and it is there. I recommend a very good budget tripod, with options and quality cheap professional equipment.

Sturdy, well made tripod! Bought this to replace a much loved tripod I’ve had for years - safe to say I’m very happy with it. I was blown away when it arrived yesterday to see how tall you can get it (my old one was about a foot shorter at full extension), with it still being very grounded. The tripod will be capable of holding the heaviest of DSLR with a huge lens, plus you can counterweight it if you want. The box includes an allen key to adjust how easily you can unfold the legs (out of the box these were very stiff), which is handy! Mine also came with a replacement head, which includes a combined phone and speedlight holder. I’ve used several products from Neewer but it’s safe to say they’ve really upped their game from the last ones I’ve ordered.

Brilliant stick, very sturdy. Well built.

Good value, easy setup and not to heavy. Will shake a bit in wind but overall a good tripod.

So pleased with this purchase, brought a camera package and it came with a cheap tripod, already with a busted clip, also had an old tripod knocking about, but that was also broken. For a Mid-priced Tripod, this is superb, the legs fold upwards around the mount, thus protecting it and making the unit really small for transporting, I'm 6'2 and at it's tallest I would need a three rung step ladder to see through the view finder, it's got great locking collars that allow you to turn it into a monopod, the stability of the tripod is great, really would buy again.

The tripod is very versatile, it could be assembled to monopod, and the mobile clip and Bluetooth shutter. The ball head is smooth and with good quality. These features could really extend many occasions and encourage me to make good photos and videos. I bought this for self taping, it 120% does the job. I purchased during Black Friday promotion period. The deal did say they sell brand new item. But clearly I received an used item. The package was opened before, the tripod has the signs of usage. Even the package was labelled ‘used item’. That’s the issue making me uncomfortable. I paid for brand new item, I am expecting brand new item. The business should carry out checks before dispatching them.

Sturdy Tripod which meets my requirements

Nach Auspacken und durchtesten der Funktionen mit Bridgekamera und Handy: nach 1. Eindruck tolle Qualität (insbesondere für den Preis) mit hoher Standfestigkeit,bombenfesten Arretierung en und tadelloser Verarbeitung mit vielen Variationsmöglichkeiten, beiliegender Handyhalterung und zentraler Befestigungsschraube mit 2 Gewindegrössen.Stativ auch ohne Panorama/Kugelkopf potentiell nutzbar und dann entsprechend leichter. Die Möglichkeit es zu einem Monopod umzuwandeln hatte mich sowieso schon überzeugt. Die beiliegende Bedienungs Anleitung unbefriedigend: Das zum Umbau des Stativs der Gewichts-/Rucksackhaken herausgeschraubt und dann die Gummikappe abgezogen werden muss, muss man selber herausfinden. Insgesamt jedoch hochzufrieden

Statyw spełnia wszystko moje potrzeby. Poprzednio miałem trochę tańszy statyw firmy SILK, także z kulkową głowicą i myślałem, że to to po prostu kiepski rodzaj mocowanie. Tymczasem miałem po prostu słaby statyw. Tej jest idealnym kompromisem między wagą a stabilnością. Korzystam z niego od kilku tygodni i nie miałem jeszcze pozycji, której nie mógłbym stabilnie ustawić. Przy tej cenie polecam bez ograniczeń.

He realizado fotografía desde 2018 de manera asidua pero totalmente recreativa. Aun y cuando he hecho fotos como astro foto de espacio profundo , escaneado con camara negativos de 35mm. largas exposiciones, fotografias de concierto etc etc siemore habia utilizado un tripode de AMAZON BASICs. en ese lapso usé 4 tripodes hasta que ya me cansé y decidi invertir un poco mas de dinero en tripode. Escogó este ya que el precio se me hace algo caro pero acequible dado los materiales. fibra de carbono asi como la altura.. te da un maximo de 1.80m yo mido 1.77 asi que no llego a la altura maxima pero es genial porque ya no tengo que agacharme. Eso si, no lo recomiendo mucho ya que se pierde estabilidad. Este es mi pequeño resumen de las cosas buenas que le he visto. La funda esta genial !! es un poco acolchada y la correa es grueza que se siente muy bien al momento de cargar en hombros el tripode. Se agradece la funda... cuando pedí el producto la vdd no sabia que iba a venir con ella y fue una grata sorpresa. Los materiales son resistentes, las patas se sienten muy bien, la fibra te da mucha confianza un gran salto de calidad para mi ya que vengo de un producto de amazon basics de aluminio y plastico. La altura es genial ademas de la altura maxima, la altura minima tambien se agradece mucho. y puedes poneer la camara a raz de piso si es que inviertes el tubo del cabezal asi logras llegar practicamente al piso con una estabilidad genial. la altura minima con el cabezal en posicion correcta tambien se agradece para cuando hay qye hacer fotos de larga exposicion. Por la disposicion de las patas al momento de estar completamente extendidas logras una estabilidad mucho mayor lo que te da confianza para dejar la camara haciendo larga exposicion durante un buen tiempo. Creo que resiste ventiscas moderadas en esa posicion. En la altura media, con todas las patas extendidas al maximo tambien se siente resistente , el peso mismo del producto le da estabilidad, pero se podria mejorar colgando un contrapeso en el gancho incluido con el producto. El cabezal resiste muy bien los equipos fotograficos. Tengo una camara analogica mamiya 67 la cual es muy pesada pero el cabezal la resiste sin problemas en la posicion normal. no la he probado en la posicion de 45° pero yo creo que seria demaciado peso. Pero para una camara normal DSLR va mega sobrado. digamos una camara d750 con un 70-200mm quedaria sobradisimo. en la posicion Portrait. Los seguros en las patas dan mucha confianza y se agradece que hayan quitado las pinzas y hayan optado por el seguro tipo rosca. Se guarda rapidamente, los materiales se sienten de calidad. En verdad que ha sido un upgrade muy bueno que he tenido. Si vienes de un tripié del rango de < $1,000 pesos mexicanos < $70 dlls obviamente será una actualizacion enorme y quedarás satisfecho. Lo recomiendo. Editaré el comentario cuando tenga mas experiencias con el producto.

OK design but fragile It worked OK for 3 weeks. Then broke - no replacement parts. Then suddenly when setting it up, one leg section fell off, and the "chicken lips" which are plastic parts inside the leg, fell out. [see photo] [other buyers have same issue!] Plastic partly broke - no replacement parts - reassembled initially worked with a leg fixed at "open" but later it could no longer lock, making the tripod useless. The design seems flawed: there are no compression rings to stop the legs fully unscrewing. Also the chicken lips (plastic parts) have a little hook which is very easy to break. Now I bought a Three Legged Thing (Leo 2) - it also has "chicken lips" but they are simpler and replaceable, AND there is compression ring to stop the leg section falling out. I would not recommend this tripod - unless perhaps you are just taking photos in your living room or back garden - and even then ...
