Nice and sturdy for it's size. Good fluid motion. One leg sticks a little bit, but that can be remedied. The extender latches are a bit, stubborn, but I imagine those will wear down in time, like most of my adversaries. Wish it came with a carrying case of some kind.

This tripod is solid. I guess if u want to pay more u can get the lighter carbon fiber tripod but if u can lift 5 pounds this is a great one. The mandrotto head is so smooth when panning and tilting. Great buy for either photo or video.

Everything I had hoped for no complaints Easy to use light sturdy great fluid head Four stars cause no carry bag.

This is the second tripod I have purchased and I am very happy with. The overall build and functionality is very good at a decent price.

This tripod is very affordable and still maintains very smooth pans for video and keeps the camera very still for long exposure photos.

Great tripod with fluid head that does a great job when panning and zooming in at 20 power.

I just recently bought this tripod with uncertainties. I've read all the reviews and they go back and both about whether it is a good product or not. I know everyone has difference preferences and opinions.

Jut what I need, it is solid. The head works well and has a convenient tension adjustment. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.

Important to have such head, to assure a smooth (not jerky) video taking.

This is a good tripod for smaller camcorders, but it needs a little more tilt drag to be used for full sized camcorders.
