If value for your money is what you're looking for then this is the one you want. This is the sweet spot for price and reliability.Lightweight, easy to use, lots of features. This is the one for me! I could start spending a lot more on a tripod and I could justify it in various ways.
Great tripod for beginners. The fluid head is amazingly smooth with no jerkiness even with very quick starts and stops. I got this to video soccer games. My only issue is that you cant lock the legs into different positions if you would want a smaller foot print.
The tilt and pan work very smoothly, no backlash, no sticking and the tripod is quite stable except when I accidentally kick it (I have to stop doing that). I use it with a camcorder so I am always panning and tilting and it is just as good as my old Velbon tripod.
best I've seen for the money. This is not the best tripod out there, but it has a smooth pan/tilt & works for my needs. It's in a sound booth with a camcorder on it to record/stream church services. Glad I bought it!
very well made... the heavy geared center is excellent for getting the right height and the part that holds the camera has very smooth movement as to not vibrate.. really good tripod..
Tengo 4 trpode muy recomendable para vdeo
Love this tripod. Smooth, fluid action, light weight and a price that can't be beat. What more can one ask for?
I use my tripod to do product shots and I use a macro lens. It is sturdy enough to hold the weight of my lens and not move. Love how you can adjust the head.
I bought this model to replace the velbon videomate 607,this one is taller ad has rubber feet, I like it so far but the videohead has a little play . the old one doesnt have that problem
I bought two of these and use them with my Sonys CX760, XR520 and HX200 bridge cam. Setting up is a snap. Panning is remarkably smooth. This match of cam/tripod produces near pro results. However, because it is very light weight, it can move in steady wind.
