They look professional also and that is always a plus. I got this tripod and was so impressed with it I bought another one a week later. I suggest you get the 3 wheel dolly for this also because it makes it so nice to be able move the whole thing around with out having to pick it up and carry it. I have two Canon Xl2s I use with these tripods and they work great.Even better than I expected them to for the price but, sometimes you do get a great deal and this is one of them. The 75mm Ball Claw set up makes it so easy to level because you don't have to fool around re-adjusting the legs.(Nice) I am going to get a couple of Canon XLH1s soon and I will use these tripods for them with confidence because the tripods are sturdy with very smooth action heads and weigh just enough to be stable. The dolly works smooth also and the wheels easily lock in place so the whole set up is firmly grounded. Marcus (Legends Studio)
But this is an advantage with our small video camera (Canon HF100): the head doesn't colapse if you do not tighten the head.In summary a nice tripod for video and photography capable of handling 18 pound of gear. Good for any application.* Strong construction.
The tripod is well built, sturdy and with excellent manufacture. Our teenagers have not been able to take it apart.
We have been using this tripod in video production and photography with youngsters in the Children's Museum of Bogotá, Colombia. Not as smooth as an old tripod, but suitable for panning your video shot with ease.* Reaches in height close to 6 feet.
Its made of metal, not plastic. (Another plastic cheapo tripod perished in their hands time ago).Pros: * A smooth moving head.
I love the center handgrip which allows you to put the tripod + camera in other place.* Great engineering: you see the quality immediately.* The duffle and the second mounting plate.* Adjustable screws, with pull out handles that let you adjust their position to tighten the screw.* Two handles that can be adjusted to the position you like them to be.Cons*The head is not as 'fluid' as I would have liked, but gives a smooth movement. Great value.
When I used it the first time, one of the clamps broke, when locking it. I was looking for something heavy with a decent head for smaller cameras, and this foot the bill. This tripod is fairly decent when compared to others in its price range. They are made of cheap pot metal. The head is very smooth when doing vertical movments, but a bit tight when panning. The only complaint would be the clamps for the legs. There are small adjustment screws you can use to make them tighter or looser, as this one was very tight. With a little JB weld, fixed the problem, easier then sending it back.
This tripod is easy to use and does what it is supposed to do. My order was processed without a hitch. I am completely satisfied.
This tri-pod is of amazing quality for 200$ Its construction is simpler than the 1000$ models I've used at school but its still sturdy and the head is great. I can execute insanely precise pans with it. Ive used it with my Panasonic PV-GS500 and my DVX100B and this baby definitely preforms with pretty much any grade of camera. Its absolutely a good deal.
