I got the tripod fast but returned after some defect.
I received the Travis tripod and opened up and extended the set up and quite impressed with the sturdy tripod and fairly not so heavy and very suitable extended height of 1.65m for my height at 1.78m and above 1.82 m guys. But I got this one the washer stopper stucked at center column and I could not pressed down to lower the center column. I did contacted Three legged support help desk and did replied me that washer stopper can be pressed down and it blocked the column from adjusting height. I finally returned it as I could not adjusted it and Amazon accepted my returned but refund me to wrong card the gift card. Hence I need to update them again to request back to my original payment card. I give a 4 stars instead of higher rating as the center column issues why the seller did not checked carefully before sending the goods to Amazon wharehouse. Otherwise the tripod and ball head I really like the product . I would consider again next time to order maybe smaller size Corey instead. The ballhead work quite well despite some people found it not so good.

This really is a nice piece of kit. Quality in design and workmanship. Sturdy where it counts. Easy to use. Lightweight - I carried this on my bag all over NYC one afternoon and didn't even notice the weight. Easy to adjust, love the multiple bubbles, and the quality of all of the adjusting points.

It's definitely not as cheap as some tripods out there, especially the random companies making stuff on Amazon. But it isn't that much more, and you're going to get a tripod that will last.

I was looking for a new tripod for all around use, lightweight but strong. I have been getting into the big lenses lately and they are a little heavy for handheld use, so I was also looking for a monopod, this is the best of both worlds in my opinion, and it works well with the sigma 60-600mm lens no problem.

Love how small this packs down, fits in a regular backpack which makes it easy for travel. Have only used it for a few weeks but appears to have really solid construction and all of the adjustments are smooth and easy to operate.

Would love if the legs would click and lock into each position, as when you pick the tripod up to move it the legs may swing inwards. Not a huge deal, but as I do mostly video work with a very light camera (iPhone), it would be nice to carry the tripod with the legs out and locked so I can pick up and plop down the tripod quickly as I run and gun.

Summary

Packed with features, and at reasonable price, you can’t go wrong with this Tripod, or any from 3 legged thing for that matter, that being said I’m partial to the least amount of leg sections possible, Corey is smaller but has more leg sections and 4 is my limit.

Why I got it

My Faithful Manfrotto tripod, I got on clearance from target, 9 years ago died on me. It fell over on a soft surface and one of the caps that locks the leg in place fell off and part of the threading holding the cap in place chipped.

What it’s replacing

Originally I was replacing my travel tripod that honestly has been a light stand for the last 6 months. With my Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod weighing about .5 Kg more than the Travis I believed that I would just continue using Travis as a light stand. When you take into consideration that the travis folded up is just over half the length of the Manfrotto and .5Kg/1lb lighter… Travis is my quickly becoming the tripod I throw in my trunk to grab a quick sunset, heading in to the local park/lake to take nature shots.

My experience

Once I got used to everything, I love this tripod! After getting used to everything that was different. I’m happy with it and in the future if I needed to replace my manfrotto I would heavily consider getting the 3 section carbon fiber tripod from 3 legged thing.

Pros

Arca Swiss- The fact that I can use my speed carry strap plate/ Arca Swiss L-bracket, without having to mount a Manfrotto quick release plate to the bottom of a speed carry plate.

Accessories- the fact that I can upgrade clamps independant of a new tripod head, The ability to change feet is appealing as well living in an area of the world that has substantial winters, the ability to change out Rubber feet for cleats that can better bite ice, is a huge bonus when your trying to get shots on frozen lakes and shores.

All the possible configurations!- At first the amount of things this tripod can do was intimidating, and honestly there’s some I will never use, but being able to hike in with a Tripod that weighs like 1.6 Kg… and have the option of a monopod 3 leg position and 3 center column configurations, means there’s going to be very few situations where I’m going to feel like I’m missing a tool in my tripod kit.

Head and Body bags- If you would have asked me prior to buying this tripod, what’s your opinion on tripod bags? I would have told you that I thought they were useless I cart around a carbon fiber tripod with no protection. Having the ability to protect the tripod from knicks and scratches is good. But my ability to hike in with a camera over 1 shoulder and the tripod over the other is incredibly convenient.

Cons

Twist locks- Coming from flip locks it took some getting used to.

The locks for the leg Position- They’re great for working, but breakdown can get a bit frustrating, having the legs at a 55 or 80 degree angle with the legs extended can make for an awkward time manipulating the legs to a transport position.

Sturdy sturdy sturdy! And woah it’s tall! I recently upgraded from a super cheap and basic tripod because I was getting camera shake in my photos, and the joints were starting to fall apart. This thing is incredible- 3 legged things has been a pleasure to work with directly (small issue with carrying bag and they immediately sent out a new one). I thought the max height might be just above my eye level, but it seems to tower over me at 5’3”. It’s not slated for travel specifically, but it’s been super easy to attach to my bag and go for day trips. Threw a d-ring on the center column to weight it down even more when it’s super windy but I think it’s not necessary just from old habits.

This Tripod is sturdy enough for any type of photography including long exposure astro-photography. The end user is able to take it apart with the supplied toolz and service/clean their tripod. It folds up nice and small at just 17" and 3.6 lbs to make a perfect all around tripod. Using it on a rocky beach or grassy fields has been a pleasure so far.

The company:
What sets 3 legged thing apart from other tripod companies is if one piece breaks on it, they will replace that piece for the cost it takes them to make it plus shipping. They are one of only 3 tripod companies that use their own carbon fiber. These tripods are designed by photographers for photographers so it includes features that you will actually use.

Easily holds my gripped canon 5D mkiii with a 70-300L.
Really good quality for the price, when folded down it’s fairly small and it’s super lightweight making it ideal as a travel tripod.
I can carry it on my bag all day and not notice that it’s there

I love this tripod. It is a bit heavier than I expected, but I did come from a plastic super old tripod. This is super sturdy and well built. I love the versatility of the ball head and I love the ease of extending and retracting the legs with the twist locks. One of the legs got a bit loosey goosy, but to my surprise, the clip included with the tripod has a screwdriver on the side which perfectly fits the screws for the leg so it was a super simple tightening job. Great product!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect
Reviewed in Germany on September 6, 2020

Was expecting a bit more from this tripod. While it is pretty easy to use, there is a couple of “features” that made me write this review: 1. The bolts on the legs come loose after 2-3 uses, good that they supply a key to tighten them, bad that now I need to carry it with me all the time; 2. Never thought about it, but the fact that this tripod is carried with the legs turned 180 degrees (bottom of the legs and top of the head touch) means you need to turn them back 180 degrees when setting up the tripod, which adds to the complexity &time spent and is probably the reason the loose bolts are a problem. Missing my old Manfrotto a bit.
