## Description

Perfect for hobbyist and aspiring photographers who use compact cameras, CSCs and DSLRs cameras Manfrotto Element MII Aluminium Black is lightweight on your shoulders and stable on the ground. The Element MII Collection is the evolution of the Element Big range. Element MII, which stands for both MADE IN ITALY and MARK 2, offers high quality, flawless construction, stylish design, and several exciting upgrades and valuable features. Ultra-compact, lightweight and reliable, the Element MII Aluminium Black delivers superior construction and must-have features and it is ideal for setting your creativity free on the go. It reaches up to 160 cm, folds down to 42.5 cm and weighs only 1,55 kg. The Element MII Aluminium Black carries a payload of up to 8kg, which means it is also suitable for heavier zoom lenses where a sturdy tripod is essential for crisp photos. The aluminium ball head enables Element MII users to enjoy the smoothest movement for framing their shots and firmly locks gear in place. It features a dual-lock design with a large primary knob for controlling the ball’s movement and a smaller secondary knob for engaging the 360° independent pan. The head comes with an included high-quality techno polymer 200PL-PRO Light plate is both strong and lightweight and compatible with Arca-type and Manfrotto RC2 head attachments. Its rubber inserts grip tightly, even on the most angled shots. The sturdy aluminium spider consistently delivers exceptional stability and reliability in the field. Its ingenious core keeps size to a minimum by housing the patented leg angle selectors, which allow quick leg angle switching for rapid and accurate camera positioning. The rapid leg opening system and ergonomic twist-locks firmly lock the legs into position, allowing instant set up and keeping your attention on the shot. Photographers can rely on the hook located at the bottom of the centre column to add additional weight for extra stability when needed. The vibrant, eye-catching colours and graphics make these model perfect for expressing your individuality. Element MII Aluminium Black easily follows you everywhere and is always comfortable to carry thanks to its padded carry bag.

Review: Excellent value from a reputable brand - I love the size, stability, and quality of this tripod! Everything about this tripod feels mature, thoughtful, and polished. The rubber twist locks are thick, strong, and comfortable. The height is surprisingly good for a tall person like me. There are some heavy-duty plastic components, including the base plate. But they seem very high-quality. As far as travel tripods go, this is going to be the most sturdy. I tried other brands including the MeFoto backpacker (which is amazingly small and light) but it was too short for me and not stable enough to hold my large Canon DSLR and lenses. Other brands may offer almost the same height, but with the last leg segment barely thicker than a pencil. I also tried and returned two other non name-brand carbon fiber tripods which had the weight allowance but not the stability of legs due to rather flimsy carbon fiber legs fully extended. Finally, after a few weeks of searching, I decided to go with this Manfrotto because of the name brand and other positive reviews (elsewhere) for its stability. Other new brands seem nice but I was concerned about quality control issues and do not foresee these companies standing by their product like an established brand will. I wanted to love the carbon fiber tripods -- who wouldn't be exited about a 79" carbon fiber tripod for $99?! At the end of the day, I felt most comfortable placing my $2,000 Canon DSLR + zoom lenses on this tripod. I even walked around with the camera attached and the legs extended. No concern of the camera coming loose. If you're looking for a travel tripod, this is not going to be the lightest of the bunch. But it is still light and one of the best values out there by a reputable brand.
Review: Lightweight, Fantastic Aesthetic - I’ve used a few different Manfrotto tripods, all within the entry-mid-level product line. This tripod carries the same genes with some minor improvements. It’s only fair to compare it and review it relative to other tripods in the same price range, and in general, it cannot be compared to a professional tripod. This tripod is for casual users who want a working solution. This tripod feels light, not as light as carbon fibre tripods, but light enough that hiking with it would not add a significant load. It folds up relatively small and isn’t too bulky. As a compromise to the lightness and compactness, it feels slightly unstable; you may need to add some weight to the included hook attachment. Ease of use is alright, nothing too special and don’t expect to use this tripod for video; while it can pan, it can’t be compared to a video tripod head. It gets the job done for photos, and that’s all I have to say. The head is the most stable/least flimsy part of the tripod. The legs seem like a future issue in the coming. The other tripods I’ve used were designed with clips or a much more solid-feeling tightening ring. It feels like it’s either not tight enough or any tighter, and you risk damaging the legs. I can also see the legs just wearing out in a year and refusing to lock or unlock. It does not have a very reassuring feel. Although once you get the legs extended, locked and ready to go, it feels like a nice light tripod. Overall, the weight and aesthetic design are the biggest pros for this tripod. The head is solid, not fantastic, but not lacking either. The portability and build are excellent (not comparing to carbon fibre). The leg extension mechanism is challenging and feels likely to break, but it works for now. Stability is a bit rocky, but that goes for almost all lightweight tripods; the tripod has no significant unwanted flex. *As a side note, instead of a hook attachment/end cap, it came with an extra flat one. I didn’t get a hook attachment but got a duplicate flat cap instead. However, I worked it out with desertcart support (they were great).

Comienzo en la fotografía y cumple bastante bien con mis necesidades. Es estable y de excelente material. El instructivo es un poco confuso, pero es lo menos importante.
