72"/1.8m Video Tripod Aluminum Transverse Center Column 17.6lbs/8KG with Fluid Head, for DSLR Camcorders Camera VA18+ VH081
SKU: KF09.121
A lovely tripod with many features , it can be a little complicated setting up with the vast amount of clips and screws. However once setup its a nice stable tripod with the leveler gauge at the top. Unfortunately it is in a little bit of a awkward place. However that's me been picky.It's lightweight as it's made from aluminium and is neatly stored with a nice bag that can be easy be transported with the shoulder strap incuded.The 360 degree fluid Head with its quick release plate works really well and helps stabilise the camera in its plate. The height is good with a adjustable length from 84cm to a massive 1.84m which is great for getting over large crowds . The weight allowance of 17.6 lbs is suitable for most dslrs camera and slt mirror less cameras; Including camcorders.Overall a good design tripod for starglazing, wedding photos and videos . Virtually can be used anywhere as the foot print is pretty small.

Excellent camera tripod. It is intended for professional work, although anyone can use it, obviously. It is quite robust. Built with excellent materials and has very good finishes. It has a maximum load support of 8kg and has a damping system for the camera. The product description indicates that it weighs less than 4kg, but personally I think it weighs more. I have not weighed it, but when I picked it up it seemed to me that it weighs much more than indicated. The height is adjustable, reaching 184 cm. It has a high price, but it is a quality product and for professional use In the end it ends up paying for itself. I liked it in every way. By the way, it includes a cover to store it when you are not using it and it is very easy to both unfold and fold.

There's some plastic involved in the construction of this which worries me slightly in terms of overall strength and therefore longevity. However it does feel stable when it's put up so as long as you're careful with it it should be fine.It's not something I'd want to carry around with me, but it would be ideal for something like a wedding videographer who needs a good stable base that can be moved around the venue with relative ease.Setting up and adjusting the height is easy. Getting it level is a bit tricker since the bubble level is obscured by the top plate (and possibly the camera if one is installed on it). The actual adjustment is easy though so maybe adding another small bubble level on top of the camera or somewhere else convenient would solve that issue.The fluid head is very smooth and feels great to use. You could easily get some nice smooth panning shots with no jitteriness. I like that the handle can be fitted to either side of the head so it can be set up for both right and left handers.The carrying bag is nicely made from decent fabric and has a bit of padding.I wouldn't feel out of place using this in a professional capacity.

It is a handy, robust, easy to assemble and smooth video head. A solid tripod all around.

At first glance you can see that this tripod is robust and well designed. It can support up to 8 kg of weight and its oval aluminum construction are features that guarantee that it is resistant and will last a long time. The ball joint is very good since it has a good quality cushioning and leveling system that allows more movements. fluids.Another positive point is the height it reaches since it ranges from 84cm to 184cm. This means we can adapt to any recording. In addition, the fact that it folds up to a length of 88cm and comes with a carrying bag makes storage and transport easier. The only drawback I could give it is that it is a little heavy but of course, that is normal for it. This one has more stability. Another thing that has not completely convinced me is the high price it has, but in the audiovisual world almost all prices are high. If it were a little cheaper it would get 5 stars without a doubt.

I adapted it to an old monopod I have and I am very happy with it. Good diameter and robust material, very easy to transport

This is really sturdy but it could have been much better if the connection pieces were made from alloy rather than plastic, I don’t know how long it will last in the field, it certainly looks and feels robust enough and the action is very smooth with a good quality mounting piece for the camera itself, it’s good to use although it’s a bit heavy to be lugging it around all day but the carry case has a shoulder strap that helps with that, all in all what you get for the money is I think very good value and would definitely recommend it for anyone

Excellently manufactured aluminum tripod that can reach a maximum height of 184 cm. The head is fluid and thanks to its lever, it allows us to record and pan. This is one of the reasons why they are suitable for video, although you can also use them in photos. The multiple rod system that each leg has makes for greater stability. It holds up to 8kg and comes with a case to transport it. If the price fits you, it is a good product. You won't be disappointed.
