heavy well made but..

This is a decent well made tripod but....The pan and tilt are not matched in pressure requirements, Movements are very smooth as is expected on a big head but not being able to match tension on both planes is really problematic.....it will pan way too easily requiring a very light touch and tilt stiffly requiring a heavy hand... the pan tension is not adjustable ( see note) and can only be locked in place. but the tilt is (can only be made stiffer from what it already is). The stiff tilt is not an issue and expected as you are having to overcome the counter balance mechanism. As mentioned It does have a tilt counter balance (it's preset around 3.5 lbs) and will work great with a 4+ lb rig, anything less you will be forced to hold in position or it will return to horizontal by its self. It also includes a slide head with safety catch so you can get the right balance on the tilt and not worry about your rig falling off.. My Sony NEX-50U even though full size barely makes the minimum weight... Note: I would have returned this item but figured out pan tension can be adjusted by dissembling the head and removing shims to increase resistance....it's still a fixed tension but at least now it's close enough to the tilt to be usable.

Nice tripod, but fragile

This tripod is tall enough for tall people to use without crouching over, and has a nice smooth head suitable for video or still work. However, the thin wall lightweight magnesium head coupling can crack internally, allowing the head (and your camera) to fall off unexpectedly. Contacting the company for refund/repair results in silence.

About Cullmann TPTMT

The Cullmann Magnesit 532 Tripod Kit Consists of:
Cullmann Magnesit 532 Aluminum Tripod Legs
The Cullmann Magnesit 532 Tripod Legs is an intelligently-designed professional's class tripod meant for use with large SLR cameras and the large, bright telephoto lenses professionals often need, such as a flagship-class SLR with vertical grip, 300mm f/2.8 lens, teleconverter and flash bracket. Even when using smaller items the large 32mm maximum tube diameter can benefit image sharpness in tough conditions.

The 532C provides a height that, when the legs are fully deployed and the column is retracted, will place the camera's viewfinder at or above the eye level of the vast majority of people.

The Magnesit 532 reaches a towering maximum height of ~6', collapses to 27.6" (70cm) and thanks to the independent leg spread and 2-part center column can operate at a very low working height of just 7.1". The 532's crown has a special design which mates with Cullmann's Magnesit Nm series ball heads in a locking, 100% secure fashion.

Cullmann Alpha 9000 Video Head
The Cullmann Alpha 9000 Video Head is a robust two-way video head made completely from die-cast aluminum and ensures jerk-free video panning thanks to fluid damping. The camera can be balanced perfectly using the stable adjustment plate.

The Alpha 9000 is a robust two-way video head made completely from die-cast aluminum and ensures jerk-free video panning thanks to fluid damping. The camera can be balanced perfectly using the stable adjustment plate.

The extremely sturdy Alpha 9000 two-way video head is particularly suited for use with heavy DSLR cameras with video function and additional equipment such as lights or rig systems, but can also be used for camcorders and professional video cameras.

The Alpha 9000 is equipped with an adjustment plate with 1/4" camera screw for optimal alignment of the camera. The semi-professional equipment on the Alpha 9000 is rounded off by the guide handle, which can be attached on both sides and adjusted individually, plus the integrated bubble level for optimal horizontal panning.
