Questions & Answers

apacker a : what is the weight of Slik Pro 400DX Tripod (not in the specs)? Thanks. Alexis PackerKIMBERLY G : 6.2 lbsAUBREY L : I cannot tell you the exact weight, but I can say that it is not a flimsy, light tripod that will blow over in the wind. It is solidly made.CESAR R : It weigh about 2 pounds if that much - very light but sturdy. I have it with me in my back pack when I go hiking and no issues.JERRY G : Don't know the weight but it is not too heavy and does a fine job of holding my Canon 5D MkII with a 70 to 200. Good tripod for a great priceCRAIG D : They're not super lightweight, I can tell you that. I bought them to use with a spotting scope when I worked as a raptor monitor in the desert. I strapped them to my pack and hiked up to 20 miles with them, my scope, and a lot of water. For some long hikes I decided the improved vision wasn't worth the weight and left scope and tripod behind. The positive to the weight is they never blew over on windy days.PHILIP L : Alexis, About 1 kg (2.4 lb.) +/- with carrying pouch. Fits nicely in a suitcase. Quite strong but I wouldn't trust it with my DSLR and very long glass (600 mm +). Fine for my traveling cameras (Canon G11 & G12). It has been to Italy, FL,CA, AZ, WA, AL, Vancouver, BC & much more. Never a problem. Have fun!PHILIP K : It weighs in at a little over 5lbs. Not my lightest tripod, but it is the sturdiest.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JAZMYNN V : Did a lot of research and it seems this is a good beginning budget tripod - reasonable weight for portability, significant payload for my DSLR with room to add, closes into a relatively small length, and it will work reasonably well for both photography and video with its pan/tilt head.

Slik Is Slick

I love the Slik tripod but it will not work with Nikon D 5000 because you can't open the Live view screen.

Good deal, equal to Bogen

Like a lot of things in life, there are trade offs with tripods. Everyone wants one that weighs 2 pounds and will hold a 400 2.8. This tripod is very solid and will hold my small 4x5 without trouble. I had a lighter tripod and was getting some soft images (even with a 645, not just the 4x5), so I upgraded to this. Its on the heavy side, but that is what I had to give up to get solid. If you are shooting a DSLR with smaller lenses you could get by with something less, but if you want to use 300mm+ or a medium format or large format you need this support. Bogens cost much more and don't perform any better.

Well made

I am a hobby photographer and was looking for a multi-purpose tripod that was light-weight and didn't break the bank. This is one of those products that you could tell is well made right out of the box. Solidly built and quality construction. I am 6' tall and this is a good height tripod for me. The tripod is very functional and I especially like the independently adjustable legs.

An excellent value

If you can't afford a high dollar tripod, this one is an excellent value for the money. I've had mine for almost a year now, and it still functions great. If I had to change anything, I would replace the head with a Slik AF2100 Ball head to make it faster and easier to use. Overall I am very happy with the product, and would buy another one.

Great lens for the money

I didn't have the cash to spend on a 'high-end' tripod, so I went for this one. Straight out of the box, i knew I had a winner here. I'm an engineer by trainng, and I know when something's been well put together. The 400 DX definitely falls into that czategory. It impresses on so many levels. I'd buy a second one in a heartbeat! :)

Not so great

Seems stable and well built, but falls apart after some use. The plastic on the leg locks craked and now the legs fall out. Also, the head is stiff and combersome, and the quick release primitave compared to a Bogen or other brand.

Perfect for on the road!

This is a great piece of gear for the road. It is light and small but strong and stable. You have to unscrew the head handles to pack it in the medium SLIK carrying case but it only takes a couple of minutes. I would purchase this again for use on the road. Handles Canon digital SLR's with big heavy "L" lenses great!

Perfect for on the road!

Great tripod! I am very happy to have it

By MMA

Very reasonable weight and easy to use

The PRO 400 DX has many of the same professional features of the PRO 700 DX and even adds a few more of it's own.

The PRO 400 DX is an all-metal tripod, which is more than suitable for digital or 35 mm SLR cameras and medium format cameras. Speed release leg locks make the PRO 400 DX a breeze to set up and take down. The soft grip padded legs, and a folded length of just 25 inches make this lightweight tripod even more of a breeze to carry.

But this is no flimsy camera support, despite its lightweight and ease of use it can hold nearly 10 ponds of camera and lens. Plus the head is removable, so that a variety of other heads, like one of the SLIK ball heads or the Master Classic head for heavy telephoto lenses, can be used in place of the included 3-way pan head with quick release plate.

3 position leg angle locks allow lowering the tripod to for very low angle or macro photography work. It has a short center column built in, just unscrew the column into two pieces and it becomes 6.5 inches shorter. That allows the camera to be only 14 inches off the ground with the legs at their lowest position.

Slik 400DX Features

  • SLIK A. M. T. alloy offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio more than 40% greater than similar tripods.
  • The easiest to use leg lock Lift lever to unlock, push lever to lock
  • Releasing the Center Column Locking Collar frees movement of the Center Column, in both vertical and horizontal directions, which means you can work faster.
  • Choice of three different leg angles for quick set up on inclined or uneven ground.
  • Top section leg diameter 26.8mm
  • For Medium format cameras, 35mm SLRs with long telephoto lenses
  • Speed release leg locks for quick set up.
  • Compact version of "PRO 700 DX" with 3-way panhead with quick shoe.
  • All metal Construction
  • Soft grip coated legs for comfort and ease of handling.
  • Light enough to carry easily, strong enough to use regularly.
