I just purchased another camera for projects and needed a reliable tripod. Since I was currently using this model and liked the build quality and features I didn't see any reason not to keep what was working for me.

Repeat purchase

Good Product

I am very impressed with the quality and value of this tripod. I'm a hobbyist videographer. I recently borrowed a fluid-head tripod from a professional videographer. It was great! I had never used a fluid head before, so I decided to buy an inexpensive one to see how one worked. I did a Google search and this 3Pod V3AH-3 came up.
I used it last weekend and it was worked very well!

Solid, capable fluid-head tripod for a great price!

Works well./  Looks better than pictures show.

Sturdy.  Portable.  Easy to use.

Considering its price point, I was pleasantly surprised at the rigidity and function of this tripod. While I got it to hold a camcorder for video work, I think that it would be usable with one of my larger cameras.

Pleasant surprise

I purchased this tripod in a great bundle light, and wheel base, so now that I finally received my Red Komodo it?s pretty solid so far.

Great Bed For My RED KOMODO

Very good quality, very strong, but does not fold very small.

Way bigger than expected

These tripods are awesome. I was watching these for a while and I got an awesome deal and I feel they are more than worth it. 

When they go on sale I'll be buying more. A number of my colleagues have bought them as well and are just as pleased with this tripod!

Love this tripod

It?s for sure not the smoothest tripod head I?ve ever used. Great price but noticeable catching in pans

Good but for sure not professional

Top notch for the price. Let?s are flimsy, head has to be at or under the weight rating to function properly. So as long and you are aware of the build quality before purchase it should be a good tripod.

Great for its price

A little more lightweight than I expected. The legs have a plastic release which may wear easy. Solid deal for the price though.

Only time will tell.

I don?t know of anything comparable in this price range. Was purchased while on sale. Has a good range in height. Easy to adjust. Has served me well so far. Comes with a decent bag too.

Great product for the price.

I purchased the 3pod v3ah on Black Friday. 
It?s an awesome tripod. I do ENG work and it?s Rock Solid!!! Best 70 bucks I ever spent.
Best tripod I?ve ever owned. Even at 130.00 it?s a good value!!!

3pod v3ah tripod

i haven't really used it much, but it looks very stable and the head smoothly functions.  I think it will be good for video and a lot of stills photography.  All the moving parts are smooth.

Good and stable

Well, I'll start by saying I returned it. It was an okay entry level product but not really fluid head. The pan was not very dampened and due to the small round feet didn't seem all that stable when trying to run a slider on it. A good budget/starter video tripod but you'll probably end up wanting more or better features.

Fine entry level tripod

a great tripod for video and photos

I ended up returning this tripod because you can't separate the video head from the bowl mount and mount a gimbal head in its place, but other than that it seemed like a decent tripod.

Good for the price

On initial review seems very sturdy and every thing functions as expected.  We will see how it holds up over time, but I don't see anything right off the bat that concerns me.

Just recieved

Great buy for the price

Good solid tripod with nice quick release mount.  The only issue is the panning isn't quite as smooth as I like.

Good solid tripod

My budget is way too small for some of the pro-level cinema tripods out there, so I honestly didn't expect much from this for the price I paid.

I was thrilled when I got it out and realized just how sturdy it actually is. I'm sure it is missing some features of its more expensive counterparts, but if you are looking for a sturdy, reliable, and adjustable tripod for cinematography, this is a fantastic pick.

Sturdier than the price suggests

????½  4 & one-half, or 9 out of 10 would be fair. Nothing is perfect in real life; this tripod approaches perfect for my professional needs (I would have all-metal, no plastic...but, let's be real). My work needs pro-level images & some video, for architecture, book design & various graphic presentations. This gives me a solid, easily portable base, & intuitive controls for the shots I need. Any significantly better tripod would cost several times what Adorama has charged for this one. Adorama, per usual, gives great service, quick delivery, best prices. Highly recommended.

Damn pleased!

Perfect

New Tripod for Christmas.

It does the job pretty well and is a
Great price. Good for a studio setup where you don’t plan to move the tripod much. In terms of the weight and collapsible size of the tripod, you get what you pay for - it’s pretty dang bulky and heavy.

Great value, low functionality and sturdy tripod.

This tripod is such an upgrade from my previous model. For the price (under $100) it’s definitely worth an investment. I used it this past weekend it’s just gives a more professional feel to your entire setup.

Worth the money

Overall I’m very pleased with this tripod. It’s build quality is pretty good and it has a nice solid structure. The ball head is great for more diverse adjustments, and the pan head is very useful. It’s pretty tall, however I wish it could go a little higher because I’m a pretty tall guy. Also the legs are kind of annoying to close, but that’s true with every tripod. But overall it’s a great tool!

Very Good, Sturdy Tripod

Great product. Easy to use and break down to store. Would recommend for sure.

Great Product

Great design, sturdy construction and nifty multi uses. I was shocked at how strong and easy to use this unit was!! It is very versatile and elegant in its set up.
