Excellent product

Excellent tripod with super smooth action gimbal head. Originally thought I might not like the thumb screw adjustments (as opposed to the turnbuckles on a conventional unit) however, they are great and very easy to use. Even in its fully extended state the tripod is stable and does not exhibit any buckling tendencies. The leg extension clamps are positive and clamp very well. The overall feel of this tripod is one of exceptional quality, particularly considering the price. It has a flexible screw head which allows the tripod to screw into my projector without any issues. It comes complete with a carrying case.

Very very well made product!

I bought this tripod for a couple of events shooting video and stills. Did not want to go cheap as I need it to withstand travelling and being thrown about/bumped into, but did not want to spend a fortune as it will be thrown about and bumped into!! I chose this one as it is tall, so I can shoot above the heads of a crowd if needed and also has a detachable monopod.

First impressions when it arrived was how solid it felt, not very heavy but more solid. The bag that comes with it is really well made, it is not just a thin cheaply made freebie, but a good quality storage bag with a comfortable strap.

I noticed how smooth the legs unfolded and the center column rises and falls, the engineering is good and everything is tight and positively locks in place.

Two of the best features that you don’t see on many tripods are that you can lock the ball head, but has a separate screw that loosens to let you pan, and also the way the center column can be changed to horizontal. I did this and it gives a better and smoother pan (more control for video), also good for landscape photography when creating a panorama.

I am 6’3” (190cm) tall and even when I stand on my toes I cannot see through the viewfinder when fully extended, it is a tall tripod!! It closes up to a really compact size, the center column inverts so the camera can be placed almost on the floor if needed.

The only negative I have is that the instructions are very basic. It gives the use, setup and warnings but there is another small tube and screw that I have worked out is used when changing to monopod. It is not a big issue and can easily be worked out, but with the quality and detail in the rest of the product I think that this could be better.

The most important thing is that I feel confident putting my expensive camera and lens on this tripod without any worries. I would definitely replace it with the same model if this one was stolen.

One very happy customer!!

This tripod is awesome!It's super versatile for whatever you need to do. One of the legs can turn into a camera stick. You can also pull the top pole piece out and mount it in different positions to get shots that a normal tripod doesn't do. I use it for stop motion and can get close shots I couldn't before.But if you are looking at this you probably already know all that... what you need to know it is that it is well made and stable and lightweight. Highly recommend!

I have a couple of carbon fiber tripods and i do like this tripod, however I bought this to use a 3 beam laser. I will use this with my cameras its nice quality and gives you plenty of options. I recommend this tripod!

My brother like this tripod very much. He has been playing with it every since he got it. The stability and light weight was the main thing he looked for in a tripod and this match perfectly.

We looked at lots of tripods. The critical issues for us were (1) sturdiness (2) lightweight (3) stability (4) flexibility ie monopod and also able to mount camera from above (5) height

My son uses the tripod to film demos on a table - the tripod is flexible enough to position a camera from above with the stem of the tripod point out sideways.

In addition we use the tripod on family trips and it is lightweight enough for that. For fast moving sporting events and in crowds the monopod feature comes in useful.

Would highly recommend.

(Incidentally there was one small piece missing initially but the seller was extremely helpful and sent the missing component within a couple of days - would buy from the seller again).

This was purchased to hold my ipad while I play my guitar. It works very well for that. The boom is just long enough to bring the ipad over my lap while I sit on the couch.I haven't used it as a photography or video tripod, but I think this would adapt to any situation or set up you might encounter with a camera. The detachable leg which doubles as a monopod is a huge bonus too.This is a well thought out and engineered product.

Excellent!!
