Review Summary

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.

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.

I like it but, only one issue tilting up and down was an issue for me.

Just received this product a couple of weeks ago. So far, very happy with it. No surprises; works as advertised.

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.

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.

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.

Very stable for its light weight. The quick release feature is a boon and feels quite solid. All around good tripod for travel and medium duty.

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.

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.

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.
