This is a great value carbon fiber tripod. It is sturdy enough for a smaller camera like a Canon 80D and maybe a midsize lens. It gets nice and tall for a 6 footer. The head is high quality and has a tension adjustment knob and a lock knob, which I like. My only complaint is the locking knob for the plate can be mistaken for a ball head adjustment.The feet are adjustable where they can be converted to stakes by tightening the foot down and the stake pokes out for softer surfaces. On smooth surfaces, the rubber feet can slide more than I care for, so be sure to use your 2 second timer or a remote for shots to make sure it is perfectly stable when it takes the picture.The locks are positive and sturdy on the legs and everything functions as it should. This is a really good value tripod. It isn't perfect, but good for the price.
As the title says, this tripod has a lot on offer, but at quite a bit less than others, such as Benro. It looks the part both in person and in the spec sheet. In practice, the head is borderline for a SLR setup. It works well enough, but the rating is OK, and you aren't left with the impression that it's got much more on offer. The plate fits well enough, but the fit and finish is lacking. It's Arca Swiss, so there's loads of better plates for various models of cameras. The Legs are OK, but the leg locks again don't inspire confidence.These nits aside, it's a lot of tripod for $170. It's lightweight, the ball is well made, and you can swap the heads. It's really 95% of a Benro for 60% the price. I'd pay attention to the locks to make sure they're set right before any tragedies.
The Sabrent 69 Inch Carbon Fiber Tripod with 360 Degree Camera Mount is very sturdy. It’s a very well made camera mount . It is fully 360 panoramic with no problems. The 360 degree mount operates smoothly. It is easy to position. It offers multiple positions for angle adjustments.It is stable. The legs are easy to adjust—all stable.It is easy to operate. The ball head system is very easy to use.It comes with a good canvas carrying case.The manual is good and fairly easy to understand.However, it is much heavier than our other camera mounts. It can be a challenge carrying this around for shoots, depending on the person. For me it is heavy.Please let me know if this review was helpful.
This tripod is tall enough that when extended to full height should place your camera above the heads of the crowd. The legs have three clamps, and the weight of the legs will automatically extend them when you open the clamps. The center column has a screw on cap with a spring-loaded hook for adding weights for stability. Remove the cap and you can remove the center column by turning the center column and invert it to get your camera closer to the ground.The head has very smooth panning once you loosen the control knob. It has two more control knobs for the ball head. You can reposition the camera with come resistance by loosening the larger knob, and then for completely fluid motion loosen the smaller knob. One large screw knob controls the center column, and it holds it firmly when tightened.There is one leveling bubble on top of the foam-covered leg, a horizontal bubble on top of the piece that holds the release plate, and a vertical bubble on the end of the knob that controls the quick release plate. The quick release plate is released by turning the knob which opens a vise in which the plate sits. (I prefer a lever style plate, which is easier, but this is quick enough.)A new feature for me is the ability to extend the legs outward. You just pull a piece out at the top of the leg, and then there are two fixed steps that the piece juts up against. With the center column inverted, you can get your camera lens right down to the ground.The feet have rubber caps that screw in to reveal spike and screw out to protect flooring. I don't think they're going to move around on you because you can tighten them on either end.These folks needs to update their product page, because this does not have a foam grip monopod leg. One of the three main legs has a foam grip, but it is not removable. The length of the center column to the head is one foot, and the head is 4".Overall, it is a very tall tripod with a smooth ball head weighing just over 4-1/2 pounds (case not included) and with enough stability for outdoor work. Definitely a great tripod for indoor work. Comes with a nice case with center handles and a clip-on shoulder strap.
I was happy with my last tripod is held the camera steady it was fairly adjustable for a few irritating things on this but I figured it did or needed to.Then this arrived. When I took it out of its box the first surprise was the box was heavier than the tripod itself.The next surprise was how sturdy this tripod is despite the fact that it weighs next to nothing!It is stable highly adjustable has spiked two rubber feet and release plate to the camera and a whole plethora of spirit levels!So if you want an exceptional tripod that is very easy to adjust this item is for you. If not I have an older heavier less adjustable the stable tripod for sale!
