## 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: 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).

Got it cause it was from manfrotto and it didn't disappoint , I put it through beach sand during active waves and after shoot just removed it yes removed each parts individually they provide an Allen key and yes most of it can be easily dismantled or tightened they promote the consumer to do it no warrenty goes void . Apart from it my only qualm is ball head is not detachable and the base plate is not replaceable according to the internet.
