Review Summary

I got two of these tripods because I was in a pinch and needed tripods urgently with a high weight capacity that would ship in time for a gig with a small budget. Remarkably, these were cheaper to buy than it would have been to rent similar load capacity tripods. They survived the gig, and I was thrilled with how smooth they handled and how sturdy the build quality was. I've had these for a while now, and they've replaced my Manfrotto 502AH & GVM JJL-JY tripods for everyday use. Fluid head stays fluid, the legs stay strong, locking still works on every aspect, these tripods are great. Stable when they need to be, and fluid when they need to be too. I highly recommend for run & gun videographers or folks looking for a budget-friendly tripod.

You need a tripod. Whether you shoot digital, film or video, you need a tripod.That slight blurriness that you sometimes get from your 18-250mm superzoom zoom lens (or even from your long-range-zoom compact camera) is not the fault of your camera—t's the fault of camera shake. Why do you think ...
The Panasonic DMC-GH3 is an outstanding camera that will give you years of pleasure and a ton of creative choices. Here are some products I recommend to expand the camera's usefulness, based on typical photographer/videographer needs

The tripod's 75MM bowl contributes to a more stable base and a wider angle, enhancing your shooting capabilities. Constructed with thick, all-aluminum tubing, this tripod stands out for its durability and heavy-duty performance, capable of supporting camera gear weighing up to 22 lb.
The Takama tripod features a two-stage design, offering rigidity and strength. The snap locks facilitate a quick, effortless setup and height adjustment, making it a reliable companion for your on-the-go shooting needs.

The tilt drag control allows you to fine-tune the resistance level for your shot, giving you ultimate control over your videography.
For shooting on uneven surfaces, the tripod comes with a mid-level locking spreader. This feature allows you to maintain a stable base while adjusting the bottom stages of the legs. The spread of the legs can be narrowed for extra stability in tight spaces and locked into position.
The tripod is also equipped with nonslip rubber feet, perfect for indoor shooting and on hard or uneven surfaces. The Takama 3-Section Aluminum Video Tripod with Damping Fluid Video Head is designed to meet your professional videography needs, offering stability, control, and versatility.
