Questions & Answers

Robert K : what is the difference between the video head and the pan/tilt head?RANDALL C : The video head is 2 way it cannot tilt between landscape and portrait as it is not needed with video. The pan/tilt head is a 3 way head and go between landscape and portrait positions. BTW this is a great tripod for lighter cameras and lenses. Would not use this with a full frame camera or with a APS-C with heavy lens. Great for lighter cameras if you have a lot of walking to do.
Shopper : Is this tripod TSA approved or do you know a good one to take on a airplane?KENNETH J : I took it on vacation this month...4 flights without any issues. It is light weight and fit in my carry-on. I plan to take it on my next trip.ARTHUR S : I didn't know that TSA had approvals for tripods.
charles l : Is the 1/4 inch threaded bolt on a ball-like thing that fits into the pan head called a "quick release" and can I buy a replacement for the one I lost?STANLEY K : I sent it in. Glad to help.STANLEY K : I bought this tripod for my son, because I've owned a couple of other of this Slik series and like them. Very light and great for traveling, and perfectly solid enough for most work with DSLR. I believe I recall there is a quick release base that screws into the camera, and then has a cam that attaches to the tripod head. As to replacement, I guess Adorama or Slik would know that best, but I believe the part is replaceable. I have passed this on to my son to see if there is more info I don't know. Good luck!JOHN T : Hi, Yes, it is part of a square plastic piece that quick-releases from the main unit so you can remove the camera without having to unscrew it from the tripod. I'm not sure if there is a replacement, but I would assume the manufacturer would have one.MICHAEL N : It has a somewhat flat piece that attaches to the bottom of the camera. This piece fits into the top of the tripod. Yes it is a "quick release" and it is available here on Adorama. It's called something like a "quick-release shoe".

Good tripod at a decent price

I got this tripod to use with a cell phone for night photography. It works very well for this. I have not yet tried it with a heavier camera, but it should be OK. Adjustments are easy and work smoothly except for the crank handle, which is harder to operate, not as smooth as I would like, and seems less sturdy. I expect it to hold up well for light/occasional use, but not for heavy use.

A winner!

I have always trusted the Slik brand and the legacy continues. The 9000 tripod is well-built, and feels sturdy and stable. The only downside is how the elevator crank feels: a bit like rough plastic. Hopefully that will get better with use. All in all it is a great purchase.

What I expected for the price.

I purchased this particular product for several reasons. It was at my price point, it was made by a respected name, and it had many of the qualities I wanted in a tripod. I generally use it taking wildlife photos. I do get a bit of camera shake if I use it fully extended but a remote switch would probably solve that. It is easy to carry around and I strap it right to my camera bag and I barely notice its additional weight.

Good light duty tripod

I bought this tripod to support a small barn door astro photo system. I owned a similar Slik tripod 25 years ago but it was lost in hurricane Katrina. This model is not as sturdy as my earlier Slik due to the all plastic head. The aluminum legs seem pretty solid and the rubber/spiked feet are an excellent feature for my application. However the quick release plate, while convenient, is another source of instability. While this is a good light tripod for most applications I will have to move to a heavier model for astro photography.

nice tripod for the price

I use it mostly for landscape photography. It's one of the best out there for the price - well cosntructed, lighter than it looks and the head is changeable. I do wish the angles of the three legs can be separately adjusted.

Well made, smooth operating tripod

This reasonable cost tripod will work well in almost all situations. A little too bulky, heavy for hiking & extended carry use. 3-way head has smooth movement and lock-downs, easy to make fine adjustments, although "(Fluid/3-way) Head" is a bit of an over statement. This tripod is sturdy enough that it can likely support somewhat over the stated 4 lbs, maybe up to 6.

Great tripod for a great price

I got this partly because of price but I was surprised how good quality it was as well. It is lightweight and very stable for my purposes and shrinks down small enough to carry easily. I would definitely recommend this as a first time tripod.

Great Product / Great Price

Bought this tripod for my wife to use, she needed something light weight but sturdy. The Slik 9000 fit the bill perfectly and also her budget.I use a much higher end tripod and I have to admit this little guy stands up right next to it and does her a fine job.
