Comments about Slik Slik U8000 Video/Photo Tripod:
Use it with all my still and video cameras. Easy to set up and fold up. Came with a nice case. No need to spend more for a tripod when this one will do most anything a more expensive one will do. You will need a level as this has none.

Comments about Slik Slik U8000 Video/Photo Tripod:
I'm a photography major and I have use it alot since I got it and I love it! It is quick to extend and retract. The flip mechanisms to extend the tripod's height are easy to manage and it truely is "Slik"! The varying height is great especially with the crank for that extra lift. Gets low and stays high! Lightweight and sturdy. Overall, A GREAT PRODUCT!

Even as a newbie, I was able to just look at this tripod and figure out how to work it. It's a breeze. I'm impressed with its sturdy construction yet light weight, and its ease of use.

Comments about Slik Slik U8000 Video/Photo Tripod:
I bought this 9 years ago, along with a VHS CamCorder, and it has held up perfectly to the weight and rigors of that heavy CamCorder. Recently, I have been using it along with my little Canon Digital Camera. This is a perfect tripod for just about any Camera.

Comments about Slik Slik U8000 Video/Photo Tripod:
The tripod worked well for 7 years until I let my friend borrow it from me, he forced the head and broke it. Other than that, the tripod was stable and quick to release all the time. I will have to order a new one.

Comments about Slik Slik U8000 Video/Photo Tripod:
Borrowed this from a friend while visiting on vacation. Mounted a Nikon D80 w/telextender along with Nikon VR 80-400 zoom for nature shots. When finished, I was folding the tripod legs and everything came snapping back; the plastic parts in the head weren't strong enough to retain the weight and I was very lucky to have caught my camera and lens so no damage was done to them. I purchased this tripod to replace my friend's but caution anyone from putting much more than a camera and standard lens on it.
