Solid, Easy to Use and Better that Expected

Better than I expected. It's solid, easy to use and store. I ordered this to record demonstrations. The extension arm is perfect and offers an wide range of angles. The weight distribution took me a little bit of time to get right but after that I've been very happy with this purchase.

Not a travel tripod, but still amazing value!

Great tripod so far, the bag fits the legs and the head with a little extra room. And the bag having straps to keep everything right is a nice touch I wasn't expecting. I wouldn't call this a great travel tripod, but it is very study and the 90 degree rotation makes product top down shots a breeze. Overall, love the product and looking forward to many years of use.

Bought 2 and both broke within 6 months.

Bought 2 of these and both broke within 6 months. They were way too expensive to break that soon. I've glued one of them back together for now just to get me by. Super disappointed.

Very well made, sturdy, and professional looking. You guys loaded this tripod with details and features which are really useful and appreciated.

Love the tripod, but hate the case. The case should be larger to more easily place and remove the tripod. Also, explaining in the tripod documentation the ratcheting action that the knobs of the tripod have would have been helpful.

Only tripod that makes it possible to do what I did this week!

I just took these sticks out on their first trip to Scotland, and was able to pull off shots that would not have been possible with any conventional tripod. I was on a bridge over the River Deveron in the Highlands, and was able to set up the tripod safely on the bridge and tilt the arm 90 degrees over the rail to shoot directly overhead as the water swirled in the rocks. It's stable enough that I was able to nail several time exposures perfectly... Is it perfect...not quite. My only drawback is that the standardmount for the handle on the video head extends above the top line of the quick release plate, and that makes it hard to mount a DSLR. I was able to work around it by reversing the handle to the left side and working backwards, but it is something that should be considered for changes in future designs, or perhaps by offering a taller quick release plate to allow for more clearance. That is the only reason I'm not giving it five stars, but it's a damn good tripod!

Overcome any videography challenge with the precision-engineered Orbit 4-Section Aluminum Tripod, bundled with the Q3 Fluid Video Head. This high-quality, sturdy tripod system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of cinematography professionals, supporting cinema camcorders, video rigs, DSLRs, and ILCs with ease.

The Q3 Fluid Video Head is a testament to smooth cinematic motion, supporting a maximum load of 15 lb. It boasts separate pan and tilt fluid friction controls, ensuring silky transitions and precise framing. The integrated bubble level on the base guarantees flawlessly level pans, while the sliding quick-release plate with a safety lock allows for rapid balancing of your rig. The angle-adjustable ambidextrous handle, complete with a comfortable padded grip, provides stable and controlled movement, ensuring your shots are consistently smooth and steady.

The versatility of the Orbit 4-Section Aluminum Tripod is unparalleled, featuring fully adjustable legs and a central shaft that caters to a variety of shooting angles. The innovative Orbit Overhead Shot System distinguishes this tripod, allowing the central shaft to pivot away from the legs for creative low angle, overhead, macro, and specialty shots. This unique feature, coupled with the ability to rotate the shaft independently of the tripod head, opens up a world of possibilities for panoramic shots and complex camera movements.

Stability on any terrain is a hallmark of this tripod, with leg angle locks that enable the legs to independently spread to 85°, 60°, and 35° angles. This flexibility ensures optimal stability on uneven ground, slopes, and steps, as well as facilitating low angle compositions. A top plate bubble level aids in achieving a perfectly level setup, essential for professional results.

The tripod's foot spikes are designed for adaptability, providing a secure grip on both indoor and outdoor surfaces. Indoors, the retractable rubber feet protect floors from scratches, while outdoors, the exposed spikes anchor the tripod firmly in place on soft or uneven ground. Additionally, one leg features a soft grip surface for comfortable handling in colder conditions.

Flip Locks on each leg section make setup and breakdown quick and efficient, instilling confidence in the stability of your equipment with a secure snap closure. The reversible 3/8" and 1/4"-20 screw mount on the central shaft caters to a variety of head attachments, offering flexibility for different camera setups.

Crafted from durable aluminum, this tripod strikes the perfect balance between strength and portability, making it a favorite for everyday professional use. Whether you're capturing dynamic video sequences or composing still shots, the Orbit 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with Q3 Fluid Video Head is the reliable, versatile choice for content creators who demand the best in stability and fluid motion control.
