I recently purchased Joby UltraPlate 208 in September, and I have to say that I am quite disappointed with it. While it may seem like a great product at first glance, I found it to be quite flimsy and unstable when in use. The screws were also difficult to tighten, making it hard to get a secure grip on my camera. Unfortunately, I can only give it a rating of 2 out of 5 possible.
In comparison to Joby UltraPlate 208, I have also used the Manfrotto Befree Advanced Tripod, which I found to be much more sturdy and reliable. The aluminium material used in the Manfrotto Befree Advanced Tripod made it feel strong and secure, and the legs were easy to extend and adjust. The head was also smooth and easy to use, making it much more user-friendly than Joby UltraPlate 208.
One of the biggest issues I had with Joby UltraPlate 208 was the delivery process. I live in Jacksonville, which is not a major city, and I had a hard time finding a store that carried the product. Eventually, I had to order it online and had it shipped to my home. It took a while for it to arrive, and when it did, I was disappointed with the quality of the product. Overall, I would not recommend Joby UltraPlate 208, and would suggest looking into other tripod options such as the Manfrotto Befree Advanced Tripod.
