Manfrotto 785 Modo Maxi Photo Video Grip Head Tripod
A tripod helps a photographer get sharp, crisp pictures and video. Unfortunately, many tripods are often bulky and heavy so some are reluctant to carry them along for many outdoor shoots. Fortunately, there is Modo. The MANFROTTO 785B Modo Maxi Tripod is a unique tripod that extends to a useful 59.2 inches high yet can fold down to about 17 inches.

Impressively designed non-pro tripod.

Perfect tripod for hiking
We got this tripod for a hiking trip to Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania. The Falls Trail has 22 waterfalls (we made it to 18).

I love this tripod
Just too good tripod. Though its handle would shake with heavy camera or lens but I can work around that. Highly recommended. Very compact.

Fantastic – light, strong and versatile.
Although it’s only rated for compact digicams, it can hold my Canon XTi SLR and 17-50 f/2.8 lens in place without much trouble.

Excellent for What It Is
This is not a professional tripod for small cameras. It is a good, cheap, light weight tripod for small cameras.
It is stable, but not rock solid.
