Pros:
Good Stability
Best Uses:
Long Exposures, Photography, Portraits, Stabilization
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The tripod arrived with a knob broken off and two plastic leg covers broken. I got very quick turn around from Smith-Victor for a new knob. The plastic peices look like new after some Original Super Glue. The pan/lateral movement lock handle was manufactured incorrectly. After I cut half of the threads off it locked the pan and lateral movement just fine. I'm very happy with what I have now.
Very good, but not perfect.
