Sturdy Tiger 75” Camera Tripod & Monopod for DSLR, Professional Horizontal Arm Tripod with 360 Degree Metal Ball Head, Compact Aluminum Tripod for Travel and Work, Sturdy and Easy to Use

Camera supplies are already so heavy to bring to a photoshoot. It takes a lot of effort to set them up and make sure the angles are all working perfectly for the subject. Often, my team and I end up getting so tired mid-shoot because of all the heavy supplies we have to move from one area to another just to get timeless elegance in a couple of photos--if we're lucky. But the last shoot I went to was a bit different. Buying this tripod and monopod set was one of the wisest investments I've done for my career. For one, lighter than theother tripods I've used. It's also portable and easy to set up when time to use, the panoramic feature wowed my clients, it doesn't get too shaky on rocky surfaces so I know my camera that costs my grandfather's three-month worth of pension was in good hands. Less hassle and better shots.

This is the best tripod I own to date. The versatility of this product is endless and it is built with quality. All parts are made of metal, or at least the ones that need to be like camera's base, connector, pivot ball, base and legs. The only issue I had was a piece or end cap on the pivoting section of the riser feel off and now when I pull the top section of the riser up, to pivot it down, it wants to pull completely out. It's not a big deal but gets annoying. Other than that, I can highly recommend this product.

Just got this a few days ago so haven't had much time to try it out but so far I've got a few observations:*Pros*SturdyQuick Release attaches securelyEasy to move and tighten legsCreative way of incorporating a horizontal support*Cons*Heavier than I expected (my bad for not looking)The horizontal support has some wiggle in it that I can't get rid of by any amount of tighteningThe bubble level on the hot plate is way too permissive and reports the tripod is level when it's obviously not - had to put a bubble level on the camera to get it right.UPDATE:The wiggle in the horizontal support was caused by one of the adjustments not being fully tightened. After a lot of playing around with it the support firmed up and didn't wiggle anymore.

If you love your dslr like I do, it's paramount to own a stable and dependable tripod. This combo has features that will make your camera rest safe on top of it. It has transverse center column lock and leg angle lock to make sure it won't falter that can result to a massive damage on your dslr if it happens to be attached to it. It has non slip sponge grip so you won't accidentally drop the set as you carry it around. You get stability hook, twist lock, and anti-skid ribber feet to make sure the whole thing holds its ground. It gives me peace of mind, for sure.

I really like this tripod. I found sturdy and for the most part easy to use. I did have a little difficult time with some transitions. For instance, when I tried to invert it so my camera would be closer to the ground, it was not easy to switch or convert back. Other than that, it works really well. I used it for overhead shots and had no problems with it.

this is amazing, extremely well built and high quality materials. Being a fabricator and designer I can say this is an incredible product for how very inexpensive it is!

Seriously my favorite ever. No assembly required (my personal favorite). Easy to set up, easy to get the monopod working, easy to pack up and put away. Has very fluid (almost like a liquid pan head) movement, great for videography (although it doesn't stabilize shaky hands, but its not meant to anyways), and PERFECT for photography. It's officially my go-to tripod.

So I like the design of it the a functionality of this tri-pod, but the people that it come from is a different story.So I got the item in and I was eager to play with it and check it out. So I removed it and was surprised at all the functions 1 tripod could have. The only thing, one of the knobs was ceased. I tried turning either left or right without budging. I even attempted to pull or push the knob thinking it had some lock mechanism. So I thought it was fully right but the top ball(one that holds the camera) would not support my Canon 80D. Right then I knew it wasn’t fully tighten.The next thing I do, was call amazon about the part and they referred me to talk to the seller. I ended up going to sleep and missed Amazon call back about the number of whom to reach but thankfully I had an email. I give them a call and talk to the operator. One thing, this lady would cut me off almost every time I would start to talk, then she told me to use tools to attempt to loosen.... WHAT? I retorted that if I broke it while attempting to loosen it fall upon me for fault but her response was “but I’m telling you to do it”. WADU HEK! Yeah, if it isn’t in writing and sign, I’m not going off of word and lose out of money.So overall 2 star because the busted item and the customers response and attitude killed me. On top that, I got my refund from Amazon and just went with a different brand but similar style.
