Only one problem

Solid piece of equipment. Only complaint is that the handle wasn’t included in the shipment. No way to move the camera while filming.

Professional Quality

Well built, sturdy, easy to adjust and balance, tall enough to require a ladder if you you need it to.

Solid build and tall!

Great build and feel to the tripod! Was not expecting it to be so tall, but now I’m happy as can be for the extra height! My only con for this tripod is that traveling with it feels about the size of a camping tent bag. The tripod is beefy, so not the best for aerial traveling.

Best bang for buck kit.

This tripod is probably the best bang for buck kit I've used yet. This is not a super light tripod (good thing). Legs are solid. The fluid head isn't that great, but the Manfrotto equivalent is marginally better, and it costs nearly as much as this entire kit. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the quick connects. The screw cannot be hand tightened, need a screwdriver, and not as intuitive as the Manfrotto. After a few sessions, you'll get used to it though.

Buy, but know that you may need a leveler in your bag of tricks.

Love the product. The only change that I would like to see made to the tripod is more levelers built in. Often, it takes much time to level it out.
