Manfrotto MKCOMPACTACN BK Compact Action Tripod Review

I have been using it for several years, its main advantage is its size, it fits easily in a backpack, it is also quite light, it has been working in different conditions for several years and experienced extreme cold and swam a couple of times, it still works fine, of the minuses it is a head fixer, there have been cases when the Camera began to fall due to the fact that the wheel could not stand it, I had to twist the legs a couple of times, it was also a very small platform, I lost it 2…

The goal was to purchase a light and compact mirrorless tripod with a height of at least 150 Action) for 5300 compact, in the horizon fixation mode (video mode) mode and catch the horizon manually.

For its price of 4 thousand, this tripod is a cut above the Chinese noname tripods, which will end up in the trash after you use good and high-quality equipment. The Manfrotto Compact Action tripod is just that good and high-quality unit that was able to comply with all the parameters that are inherent in a product in the price-quality category and the best choice.

The goal was to purchase a light and compact mirrorless tripod with a height of at least 150 cm. The choice fell on the Manfrotto MKCOMPACTACN (Compact Action) for 5300. The tripod is light, compact, tall. Turned 1 day and returned. Didn't like the head. Unpleasant friction when moving, in the horizon fixation mode (video mode) is just an indecent backlash. At the moment of fixing the position of the head with the pressure wheel, the right edge of the chamber goes down. It is better to switch…

First impression. I expected better build quality. It's not bad. I just expected better. The metal isn't as thin as the cheap tripods you can buy at Wall Mart, but it's also not as thick as other aluminum tripods in the same price range. My Neewer tripods are built stronger in the same price range. But the uniqueness here is in the pistol grip. It's plastic. The plastic isn't thick, but it's not thin either. This whole tripod is of average build quality. The ratchet wheel works well and locks…

Excellent tripod. The legs fold into 4 telescopic sections, which is very convenient for height adjustment. Not only the legs are height adjustable, but also the central part where you mount your camera or scope. The tripod is made of very strong aluminum and some durable plastic. The only thing I don't like is the way they designed the camera or scope mount. The piece sits within this whole and has a latch to secure items. There are settings to set the tension. I just think it's a tricky…

Ok. There were a lot of bad and so-so reviews, pffft. should have known better. This is exactly what I wanted and is exactly as described by Manfrotto. Open your legs, lower him and shoot. Nothing more. Nothing special. ConSimple. If you need more than just a lightweight tripod, it has no other features. Height. You MUST bend down if you are over 5ft 5in or so tall. I will mark the attached ball head as a pass/fail feature. I really like its simplicity. A handle and a screw. your camera and…
