Manfrotto MBASE Reviews

Works great, but...

Just wish it had a leveling solution. You get what you pay for though, and we weren't willing to spend more than double for the upgraded half-ball leveling model. Used this to create VR tour with the Insta360 One R Works great with the Manfrotto VR Medium Extension Boom.

Perfect tabletop tripod

This tripod can extend to provide a very wide base of support for a camera. It is very strong and very portable yet priced right!

are the legs extendable and is this compatible with a mirrorless camera ?
Asked by: Carmen
No, the legs are not extendable. The Manfrotto Virtual Reality Aluminum Base with Half Ball Leveler is compatible with Mirrorless cameras but you'll need a ball head.
