I was blown away by the quality of this product (for the asking price). I am a pro HD Videographer and found this to be one of the best tripod deals I have ever run across. I am using it with a Sony HDR-HC9 with no problems at all. Sturdy construction, smooth pan and tilt and plenty of height for me @ 5’9″.

Do not hesitate unless you’re one of those people who just has to spend thousands on a tripod, which I feel is a bit ridiculous.

I purchased this tripod to go with my Sony HDR-SR11 camera. It is used primarily to film my kids’ games and it is the best $70 I ever spent! The handle that allows you to control the camera works awesome and makes it so easy. The tripod is fairly compact and easy to tote around. I think if it were any smaller or lighter, then the tripod would not be as sturdy. Overall, if you are looking for a good tripod, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Surprisingly sturdy for the light weight. The controls on the handle work well and greatly improve the ability to control the camera without shaking it. Note that there is a pin in the adapter plate that only fits the Sony Camcorder models it’s designed for and prevents its use with anything else, like my Nikon D-80. Very good product that does just what it says it does and no more.

This tripod is really good, the build quality is great and the electronic controlls are really easy to use allowing for precise zoom, pan/tilt controll features from attached camcorders.

I purchased this and as seems to have become the case Amazon reps lied about it’s capability. It will not fit the lanc plug on most of the higher end Sony camcorders. I have a VX2100 and it will not work on this, after Amazon reps assured me it would. Now I am stuck with a piece of junk and Amazon is refusing to acknowledge any responsibility. Try getting someone from the USA to answer the phone or email you from Amazon good luck with that. They charged me as a US based Corporation seems they should handkle it like one. What garbage!
