Excellent Tripod - Great Purchase
This is a very well-constructed medium-weight tripod with metal parts where it counts. It's quite sturdy and a useful addition to the video/audio/photo studio setting (the primary use cases for my purposes).The legs are easy to adjust and stable. The design is multi-functional, quite usable for holding the various Sony cameras I have (e.g., A7RV, A7IV, A7III, A7RII, RX100VII) and studio lights or flashes. If using the center bar horizontalyl, it would be a good idea to use a "sandbag" or weight using the supplied or your own carabiner and position the horizontal bar in line with one of the tripod legs to reinforce stability. As with any tripod that can fully extend, you'll want to be thoughtfully careful with the size lens attached to the camera. This tripod is most suitable for moderate telephoto lenses - I have other, much heavier tripods for mounting very large gear on.As to the removeable tripod leg that can double as a monopod - for me that monopod's for lighter-duty circumstances. It wouldn't be my first choice for serious trekking (for that kind of purpose).The included ball head is versatile and applicable across a wide range of situations. Be sure to tighten it well to the tripod base so that it doesn't work loose if doing a lot of panning (this holds true for most ball heads). I have available several other kinds of heads that I can easily swap on to this tripod (e.g., fluid video head with handle). With the right mount it would be excellent for holding a phone or tablet, as well.All in all, this a very useable well-made tripod and a terrific bargain at the going price as of August 20205. Highly recommended. It would be hard to find a better offering at this price point.Ver másVer menos
