Rated 5 out of 5

Worth the outlay!

We are a video production company, weddings, commercials etc., After shaky footage & uneven pans we finally upgraded our equipment and it's like trading in your old jalopy and buying a Rolls Royce. I can't believe I made do with the inferior tripods for so long!! It's so worth the extra cost.
