INNOREL RT80C Carbon Fiber Bowl Tripod 160cm/63in, Twist Lock Professional Heavy Duty Camera Tripod Ultra Stable Max Tube 32mm Max Load 20kg, with 65mm Bowl Adapter/Stainless Spikes/Tripod Bag

Bought this to replace a damaged Manfrotto Carbon Fibre Tripod , a replacement leg and spikes cost more that this. I am impressed, it weighs less than its predessor and is higher when fully extended. in fact its taller than me , at 5'10" . I have tested it for a week on a photo trip on the lake district and its proved to be a great tool. The standard flat plate with a hook below is great in windy conditions, a loop and a karabiner keeps the tripod weighed down and solid. The Spikes help considerably here as well. I switched to the the bowl during the week, and this proved incredibly easy and instictive to use, and its stayed in place for the rest of the trip. The legs attatchment to the based were a bit tight, but a slight twist with the supplied Allen key quickly resolved that. The wide tripod base and lack of a centre colum makes it easier to carry, and you dont trap you fingers when walking. All in all I am very pleased with it , but lets see how it manages after 6 months of regular use. As it stands I would recommend it as great value, and very practical to use. Devoid of all the fancy centre colum modes, its just works. Make sure you get a good quality head, to get the best out of it.

So I've had this tripod for 18 months now and used it regularly, for a mix of situations (studio, macro, landscapes), and it is superb given the price. I've used it with the base plate and the leveling bowl, and both are fantastic, the only thing I'd like is a shorter handle on the leveling bowl, and bag hook, so it could be used all the time, when the legs are splayed to their lowest. The bag hook on the plate base is superb, attach a bungy and then down to your bag and superbly stable (surprisingly hang a bag in strong wind and the bag creates more movement, bungy takes out the vibration but helps pull the tripod down). The rubber feet are good, and the spikes that come with it are good, personally I upgraded to a longer set of spikes. I've yet to find a situation where I can't get the tripod stable, with the leg angles and lengths, and I've tried it at all sorts of angles (one leg sideways into a stone wall). I know some people have moaned about having to turn the locks more than 1/2 a turn to lock but it's not actually that big an issue. I've used the tripod in the sunshine, heavy rain, in a river, and even in the sea, and it has been fantastic. Having used it in the sea I've taken it apart, and cleaned the joints due to sand and salt getting in them, it was easy to take apart, the only pain was the fine thread on the joints are a pain to clear out, dried nicely and went back together with no issues with a good application of Lithum grease, and it is all good as new. The tripod is superbly lightweight, given the height and versatility it has, it is super strong, and is superbly stable with DSLR and good size lens. Added feature when weather turned rough, it mage a great frame for my tarp, to hide and stay dry. I wish there was a centre column available that dropped down between the legs, but when I contacted customer service, they got back to me within under 8 hours. There is a column but not one that drops down. I'd buy this tripod again, it is fantastic value for money, I'm actually looking at one of the cheaper ones for my son.

This is the third tripod I have bought for my mirrorless Sony APS-C camera. I use it with a panorama head to take 360 panoramas. I found that the two tripods I previously tried (the two Amazon Basics models) were not stable enough for me, so I spent a lot more on this tripod. Of course with tripods you can have tripods that are lightweight, cheap, and stable, but you can only have two of these together. I think a good rule of thumb is that a tripod should be about 20% of the cost of the camera. The tripod comes with a good quality bag and with a second set of feet (I used the spiked feet as I photograph almost exclusively out of doors). The bag is longer than the tripod, allowing you to fit a tripod head to the tripod, but my panorama head is too long for this. The tripod comes with a standard base with a hook underneath (for making the tripod more stable) or with a 65mm bowl head. I use the bowl head as it allows me to level up the panorama head very quickly. I transport the tripod either on my back or strapped to the front handlebars of my bike. It is relatively light, but what it is most is sturdy. The twist locks are quickly set, with only a half turn or so to free them. All in all I am very happy with this tripod.

It’s very good, stable and not too heavy but with few small issues. The first is the bowl device, not bad but mine is not very smooth when adjusting. The second is that you could argue it’s a touch tall; I’m 6’ 1’’ and at full height On level ground I need to shorten it by reducing all three legs by about half of each section, it’s a bit of a faff. Third, when adjusting the leg angle they are quite stiff to pull out. Maybe that will easy in time. Fourth, when extending the legs you need to turn the locking collars more than a half turn otherwise they can be a rough when pulling out. Lastly it’s a shame that they didn’t provide a rubber seal for the metal spikes; easily fixed however. It sounds like the tripod is not up to much but in reality as I said they are all minor carps and three of them are likely to correct themselves with use.

Ja was soll man über ein Stativ schreiben? Die meisten Stative sind heutzutage gut. Nur ich wollte eines, dediziert ohne Mittelsäule, welches dadurch nur sehr wenig Schwingungen zulässt. -> Anwendungsgebiet Spektiv, bzw. Kamera mit Super-Telezoom. Und da kommt es bekanntlich auch um jedes zusätzliche Gramm Gewicht an. Und da bin ich auf dieses Innorel-Stativ gestoßen. Und mit entsprechendem Kopf ist das wirklich eine tolle Alternative zu sehr viel teureren Stativen mit bekannteren Firmennamen. Achtung: Der Videokopfanschluss ist nicht 1/4 sondern 3/8 Zoll. Der Stativkopf muss also passen. Die mitgelieferte arretierbare Nivellierkugel ist praktisch für Videoköpfe. Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen. Da werde ich nochmal separat meine Bewertung ergänzen.

I've used this almost daily outdoors for wildlife photography for more than a year and am very pleased with it. I've owned almost a dozen different tripods including several by that Italian company, and this one beats them all. It's light, it's sturdy, locking and unlocking the leg segments is fast and easy, and the joints at the top remain nice and stiff -- no legs flopping around. This one is a keeper. My only wish is that it had measuring marks on the bottom segment.

Si prende in mano e si ha subito la sensazione di un'ottima fattura. Apprezzato, stabile e comodo il fatto che il meccanismo per aprire le gambe sia a molla e non a tirare come altri.

Very sturdy with the 36mm to 25mm legs. It's quite light and extends quite high. The other key is that one tripod now covers both my photo and video needs, given the 2 options provided for mounting a fluid head and or ball head. I highly recommend. Also see the picture with the INNOREL ER362C Universal 10 Layers Carbon Fiber Tripod Center Column and the N52 ball head.

ideal pour le Seestar S50 avec la vis 3/8 en standard. Léger 1,85 kg et très haut. Très stable si on n'utilise pas la section la plus fine des tubes. Une housse est inclue, avec sangle.
