I love this tripod, it's exactly what I was looking for, it has the pan/tilt that i needed without being a free ball head and it's stable and solid.  I recommend this.

Good Tripod

Superb support to camera and lens stability for great image capture

Perfect balancing of Photogear as required

Very sturdy and easy to use. Pretty heavy but stable. I don’t like the panning break on mine. It may be defectively manufactured and does not hold the shaft from turning when set to fixed.  Rather than returning the head I drilled and tapped a hole to accommodate a screw in shaft with a grip to make my own very secure break.

Pretty nice tripod, strong and steady.

Works great! Images have improved. I don’t need to rotate or crop after post as much as before.

No cropping needed!

This is a really good "bargain" tripod & head, especially at the price I was able to purchase it for ($100). The head is very well made and easy to control. The tripod itself is not as sturdy as other tripods I own, but since I am using it primarily indoors and mounting an iPhone on the head, it works just fine. You would not want to mount a heavy video camera on this unit.

A really good "bargain" tripod & head

No complaints about the tripod, sturdy and very reliable. The thing is that I bought this one a week ago, and adorama decided to have on special price the 264ap for $100 less ????????.

Great tripod!

Good quality and sturdy. A little heavy but that was to be expected when purchasing the aluminum model and the pan tilt head. After initial use I’m very happy with the product.
