So, my trip to Nova Scotia is over and I had a chance to take the Manfrotto MKC3-P01 tripod along. I have to say I like this tripod a lot. It is definitely not as sturdy as my Opus tripod but it is hiking-friendly. I did a number of hikes in a couple of national parks and roamed around towns and cities carrying the tripod on my bag or holding it in my left hand. I'd give it a good plus for being lightweight. Because it was light, it was more likely that I would take it along on a long hike and it was worth it. It got me some pictures I wanted.
The tripod is simple. It has a ball head and four leg segments. The ball head was useful to have. I can make minor correction to the camera angle for composition. However, I found it hard to adjust the camera for portrait shots. The camera was heavy and would sag quite a bit after I locked down the tripod. I would then have to compensate by either adjusting the tripod legs or readjust the camera on the ball head.
Notwithstanding these above issues, I give this tripod two thumbs up!
