Customer Reviews

Quality design, I love the matching sony style and does the job
Don't be fooled by the negativity, this product is for the serious professional not the winer. It has it all, the quick base which attaches in 1 click, remote control with the smooth fluid head pan, tilt zoom in 1 motion, nice carry bag, the light weight easy to move. Best for the new media HDV compact pro sony HDV Camera, developed with that in mind, don't sleep on this tripod. Up there with the best.

Smooth pan and zoom
The tripod is definetly worth the extra money. The fluid head makes for a smooh pan and zoom. I have had many others, but this one stills the show.

Better than most, but high price
Not for light weight cameras, but works well with FX1 or FX7 Sony HDV Cameras. Good fluid motion with easy one knob leveling; Tension loaded for best use with FX1 Sony Camera. I have 3 of these tripods in use.
