The Compact Action is a compact tripod at the entry level of the Manfrotto range. It is easily identifiable thanks to its more than original head and its rather limited size.
The Manfrotto Compact Action is a tripod that cuts to the chase. We regret the slightly too convoluted ergonomics of its head, as well as a maximum load limited to 1.5 kg. Quite light and easy to deploy, it is therefore primarily intended for space-saving equipment and can serve as an extra tripod.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
