Sturdy, and very easy to use 5 years ago J Davidian Verified I used this tripod when filming at a concert over 500mm away and it was steady and gave me great shots. It is heavy, but helps keep a steady video shot. I bought a Benro s7 fluid head and Slik 700DX tripod, but the head was way too loose/couldn't tighten down the drag for steady zoom shots... I tightened it as far as it would go for tilt but it was still shaky when my hand would touch the arm...I returned both. I then purchased the Davis and Sanford Provista 7518 Tripod/FM18(2) Head and it was a little heavier, more stable, and the pan tilt are great for steady/long zoom recording. I will say Read More 4 years ago John Karas Verified I don't do alot of reviews, but I feel compelled to with this tripod. I was all set to get the Fancier FC-270A for $40 less, but after getting my hands on this one in a store, I ordered one for myself immediately. This thing is a tank! Fancier feels less durable/stable by comparison. All Metal is a huge plus. It makes it a tad heavier than other tripods in the $100-$200 range, but not by much. The fluid head works fantastic. It pans and tilts like a pro and the 75mm ball mount makes leveling a breeze. It'll easily handle weight (more than others in this price range) so if you're planning on bu Read More 6 years ago Adma Verified Worth every penny this is the pickup truck of tripods! Came in awesome carrying case in perfect condithion Evan came with spare quick connect. 7 years ago Nick Verified Works great, very smooth and fluid, sturdy. This is the most affordable yet professional tripod I've owned. It even allows me to shoot great dslr video on lenses that aren't stabilized 4 years ago Mike Verified Works for what it is - not as high tech or quality as more expensive models - its Heavy Duty, kind of rough around the edges but gets the job done. What I do know is this thing can take a beating - its made to last. 6 years ago Woody Verified Well built 6 years ago Bruce P Barker Verified We just test-drove one of these yesterday, and it does look like it's got a lot of bang for the buck. A real fluid head with fairly stripped-back (but totally workable) drag controls, and the movement feels nice and steady on our tester Panasonic DVX200. I'm a little concerned that I'll lose the sled's "lens this way" orientation pin, which can be completely disconnected from the camera mount screw. The sled would still operate without it, you just wouldn't have the forward-facing pin. What's kinda cool is that if you lose the entire sled, a typical Manfrotto unit (from a 503, for Read More 4 years ago Juan M Lleras Verified We have been using this tripod in video production and photography with youngsters in the Children's Museum of Bogotá, Colombia. The tripod is well built, sturdy and with excellent manufacture. Our teenagers have not been able to take it apart ... Its made of metal, not plastic. (Another plastic cheapo tripod perished in their hands time ago).Pros:* A smooth moving head. Not as smooth as an old tripod, but suitable for panning your video shot with ease.* Reaches in height close to 6 feet. Good for any application.* Strong construction. I love the center handgrip which allows you to put the tr Read More 12 years ago Michael E Gburzynski Verified We have a closet full of broken and worn out tripods. Heads go bad, legs no longer hold up. NOT THIS ONE!!I am fully confident that I could mount a heavy machine gun to this tripod. Built with heavy duty materials. Precision construction, just like the Steadicam Merlin (we have one of those too) that is made by the same company. 10 Year warrantee, and when you see this beast in person, you will understand why. Simply put, the last tripod you will ever buy. Fluid Pan head is ridiculously smooth and ALL METAL!. Comes with a nice heavy duty body bag. I first saw this bad boy on display in the Las Read More 14 years ago « 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 » About Us Sales: 888-504-1271 Customer Service: 718-387-0069 Warehouse Address: 307 Rutledge St. Brooklyn, NY 11211 USA *For Order Pickup Only - No Storefront* Customer Service About Us Privacy Policy Authorized Dealers Shipping & Returns Newsletter Take 5% off your purchase when you sign up.
