you tighten the clamps and it drops down and the quick attach does not tighten up camera wiggles on it Nikon D810 should not be to heavy

I would recommend this product since my previous tripod was simply not up to the constant beating it was getting by the news network-quality camera regularly utilized on the same. This unit is much more robust and easily mounts the aforesaid video equipment. Nevertheless, the handles for manipulating the 3-way pan action are abysmally short and difficult to operate from a seated operator's position. If you enjoy constantly standing while filming, this unit is for you.

Sturdy, relatively easy to learn to use.

I love it. I use it in my studio. It is sturdy and just stands steady. Nothing for hikes due to weight.

Very happy with this tripod. Simply amazed at the stability and the smoothness of the movements in it. It takes a minute to get the lock handles in place and figure that out, but well worth it. Only downside is it only comes with one quick release plate, and I've not had a chance to check if you can even order more for it

The tripod arrived with a knob broken off and two plastic leg covers broken. I got very quick turn around from Smith-Victor for a new knob. The plastic peices look like new after some Original Super Glue. The pan/lateral movement lock handle was manufactured incorrectly. After I cut half of the threads off it locked the pan and lateral movement just fine. I'm very happy with what I have now.

It's very stable for use on my GL1 camera.The only other thing I would have liked is to be able to lockdown the pan movement.
