Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this be compatible with a Panasonic GH3 used primarily for video? Taping mostly interviews so no need for lots of panning or zooming.MICHAEL W : If your Panasonic takes a LANC (might be 8mm pin - never really checked) connection for the remote then, NO this tripod / remote setup will not work. This remote comes with the 10 pin plug sorta u-shaped. regards, MikeMASSURIN, M : The tripod works great with my SONY camcorder. I think you will find it useful for what you are doing.JAMAL L : Unfortunately, I do not know.GREG B : Depends on what you are looking for it to do. I find it to be an excellent mate to my sony camera. Full funtionality through the tripod handle is really nice. The head is a significant improvement over my prior tripod from a fluid motion standpoint. It dampens movement really well and makes panning much smoother. Very satisfied with the tripod and the head in particular.
JIM T : Need replacement quick release plates for the Sony VCT-60AV and 80AV Remote Control Tripod. What part number or link should I use?ANDREW R : The proper replacement for the VCT-80AV is the QB-4W ( <a href="http://www.adorama.com/VNQB4W.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/VNQB4W.html</a> ) the replacement for the VCT-60AV is not specified.

Very well built, smooth operations

I do a lot of home movies, picnics, reunions, weddings and I get the stabilization and i am able to access all the functions necessary with ease of operation. Everything is right there at your finger tips. It is well built and easy to set up and operate.

Disappointing

I rated this tripod "disappointing" because I figured if it was a Sony product (purchased online from the SonyStore) that it would perform well with my Sony NEX VG-10 $2k camcorder. My only problem with it is even though it is supposedly an "oil fluid" head the pan feature "chatters" as I am panning. This makes it useless for any kind of action videos, particularly with a telephoto lens.

This feature-packed tripod provides the ultimate in remote camcorder operation. You can adjust your zoom speed with a simple tilt of a lever and use the Guide Frame feature to help align and frame your shots. The oil fluid head provides the smoothest pans and tilts possible. Adjusts from 24 3/4" to 65 3/4".
