Manfrotto One Aluminum Overview

ONE Tripod. Endless Possibilities.
Content creators have evolved, and the tools used to capture engaging photos and videos have evolved alongside them. The blending of photo and video into "hybrid" mirrorless systems. The adoption of smartphones and vertical video. The need for rapid results or even going live. All these examples have brought us to a world where content creators need more versatility, speed, and simplicity to nail their shots and all those descriptors can be used on the Manfrotto ONE Tripod—a tripod purpose-built to satisfy both the photography and video needs of a modern-day content creator.
An All-in-One Solution
The Manfrotto ONE combines features found on both stills-centric and video-focused tripod systems to deliver a single support system that can be used to either capture stunning photographs or cinematic video with ease. This comprehensive set of features will make it ideal for professional hybrid shooters who need both and will benefit from streamlined setup and fast transitions between the two operating modes.

The tripod features a solid set of core specifications:
  • Maximum safety payload of 33.1 lb
  • Working height range of 7.5 to 67.1"
  • Closed length of 27.8"
  • Aluminum construction is durable with an overall weight of 7.8 lb
  • Leg angle selector features preset positions for quick setup for all types of shots
ONE Technology
XCHANGE System
Built directly into the ONE tripod is the XCHANGE system for instantly swapping out heads, sliders, and other accessories. XCHANGE is an advanced quick release system with a simple twist-lock mechanism for releasing or locking a compatible tripod head or accessory. And, with the availability of optional plates with a 3/8"-16 mounting screw, most heads and other support systems can be made to work directly with the ONE tripod. Just drop the device onto the XCHANGE platform and it will lock in place.
Leveling Column & Q90 Mechanism
Found mainly on video-centric tripod systems is a leveling ball or base, the ONE brings this technology to a hybrid tripod with a unique leveling column. A lever on the ONE will make it quick and easy to level your camera when shooting stills or video.
This column is designed to be versatile as well with a quick detachable section that makes it possible to quickly move the tripod to a ground-level working height of just 7.5". Being a standard column, it can, of course, also be used to extend the overall height of the tripod to a tall 67.1" for overhead shots.

Capture overhead shots with ease thanks to Manfrotto's Q90 mechanism. Seamlessly shift the center column into a 90-degree position for easier photography.
Easy Link
Manfrotto also integrated an Easy Link thread onto the ONE tripod. This attachment point supports accessories, such as arms, and has anti-rotation points for compatible support systems
XTEND Leg Locking Mechanism
The three sections of each leg on the ONE tripod are designed for quick setup with the XTEND locking mechanism. The single, large lever lock located at the top of each leg unlocks and locks all sections simultaneously—no more messing around with multiple locks on each leg.
Custom Design & Modular Feet
While standard with rubber feet, the ONE's feet can be removed to reveal spikes for more stable shooting in certain environments.

Moving from more conventional round leg sections, the Manfrotto ONE uses a custom non-rounded shape that provides additional rigidity against multiple types of flexing.
Designed for Hybrid Professionals
Being the ONE support a content creator may need to shoot both stills and video makes this tripod an ideal choice for modern-day professional and their versatile mirrorless camera rigs. It packs in numerous features, both classic and novel, that will simplify and speed up productions and give creators exactly what they need—more time to focus on their craft.

Manfrotto One Aluminum Reviews

Good design, so-so execution

I've always liked Manfrotto for their relatively small profile and light weight for simple jobs—particularly if the camera just needs to be locked off on sticks for an interview. So I was excited for the ONE: the design is appealing, and its adoption of single-stage quick release leavers on all three legs, similar to Cartoni and Sachtler, was overdue for Manfrotto. But that main selling point has also proven to be the tripod's main flaw. I've never once had to retighten the old Quick Power Lock mechanism. I've had an old 502AH that's taken almost a decade of beating, and only one leg has needed to be retightened in all that time. And the old QPL system remains working flawlessly. It's a different story for the Manfrotto ONE. The new levers have already allowed the legs to slip in only a month of use. After tightening, one leg started slipping again not even a month later. Additionally, Manfrotto uses Torx screws instead of a standard hex bolts for the levers, so unless you carry a Torx set with you, you're not going to be able to tighten the levers in the field. That's a bad design choice. The other thing — the levers make a LOUD, plastic-y snap every time you lock them. Not a deal breaker, but absolutely annoying, especially when competitors have virtually silent lever actions. I do like the hybrid bowl design—that makes quick adjustments really easy. It does reduce the stability of the tripod under load. You wouldn't want to pair this with a slider unless you're running two sets of sticks. The removable center column is also great. It works as a low boy/hi hat for low angles, which means that's one less piece of kit you have to pack.

Still THE one others compare to...

After watching many rave reviews on YouTube I pulled the trigger on this tripod. I have used Manfrotto Tripods for over 25 years and they still deliver a top quality product. Very well thought out, engineered and built. The Xchance plate is an excellent innovation. I have ordered exttra plates to use with my ring light for easy removal. The leveling bowl is also a great deature. The c way head ia also designed and built on the same level of craftsmanship. The added Friction features are great. Manfrotto continues to deliver, and at reasonable cost considering the quality. This thing will outlive me, I am sure.
