Overview

The perfect companion for perfect shots, by Manfrotto



The Compact Action is the best possible choice for those who own an entry-level SLR with built-in lenses. The ergonomic joystick head, equipped with a locking mechanism consisting of a rotating knob, is both intuitive and easy to use. The comfortable grip allows you to record smooth video and superb images almost effortlessly.

The innovative circular quick-release plate is ideal for effortlessly attaching the camera by hand, without the need for pliers or screwdrivers. Thanks to its shape, the orientation of the camera will never be a problem again. In addition, the control dial, combined with the circular quick-release plate, allows you to secure each camera perfectly on the tripod, thus improving its stability. The photo/video mode selector switch ensures maximum freedom in every situation. Switching from one mode to the other takes only a second and ensures that you always get great pictures and smooth movies.

The Compact Action is designed to work perfectly with any entry-level DSLR with a built-in lens, but is also compatible with any camera, provided it weighs no more than 1.5 kg. Each Compact Action kit comes with a special adaptor that will increase the surface area of individual cameras to better secure the tripod for maximum stability.

    Insufficient tightening

    Overall it is a good tripod. It is quick to unfold and set up. The pistol grip is really handy to use, as is the quick release camera attachment. The cover is thick and strong.

    The only concern is that this tripod is sold with a load capacity of 1.5kg, but it can't hold my 650g Lumix FZ200 properly.

    The clamping is clearly not sufficient. The camera eventually stabilises, but a few millimetres lower, which is not playable in max zoom or macro mode. Compared to a Cullmann RB5.1 head, it's night and day. So I'm taking 2 stars off because it's sold as "designed to work perfectly with any entry-level SLR with a built-in lens".

    I love

    This tripod is beautiful, it is very light, very easy to set up and is compatible with all my cameras. I find it very stable, which finally allows me to get sharp pictures using the digital zoom. It comes with a basic travel bag, but just enough to make you want to take it everywhere with you.

    stable, light, simple but practical

    The camera is stable despite its lightness, the use is very intuitive, the tripod is well designed. However, it is not suitable for macro photography, but perfect for everything else. I am very happy with my purchase :)

    Robust

    I got this tripod to change my 2 ball hama tripod, and I was amazed at how sturdy this one is, it's big, feels solid and is very easy to use! Good buy and fast shipping!

    Very good material

    Very quick to set up, can be rotated in any direction. You can invert the head for macro photography. I think it can be very useful. It has become my companion in many situations and I think I have not yet used all the possibilities.
