Heavy Duty Tripod,70.8 Inch Professional Video Tripod with Fluid Head and Max Loading 17.6 LB, Universal QR Plate, for HDSLR and Interchangeable Lens Cameras, Camcorder.

I'm mostly a Location Sound Mixer/Boom Op., but I have a Film Degree and basically I'm a jack of all trades in the film industry! I pretty much own all the equipment necessary to do a small production... unfortunately I do not have own more than just a couple minor lights and definitely do not have a giant rig to carry the lighting and stands, power cables, gels, etc. Not only do I have a full Location Sound rig, but I also have a Professional Sony HD camera and until I picked up this tripod, all I ever had was a couple of emergency backup tripods for whenever an emergency arose or if the tripod we were using was having issues and I finally got tired of having a bunch of half-measure tripods, so I bit the bullet and decided to break down and buy a decent tripod! And though I was still looking for the best quality along with the best price, after researching and looking through Amazon for about a hour or more, I finally came across this particular tripod and I was completely surprised that I found something that met all my needs AND was also under $100..! So I ordered it, still wondering if I might be getting something that I would probably end up returning because I figured that at its price range, it couldn't possibly be worth it....?! WELL to my surprise, this model in my opinion, was actually right up there next to the Manfrottos that I've seen and used before! Plenty of stability and very solid, also has some weight to it, but not enough to be a pain to carry around! All the legs worked perfectly, it has a nice spreader in the middle to keep the legs from sliding in and collapsing the entire setup, and it has a very handy and convenient fluid ball head that couldn't be any smoother. There's no jerking or sticking white panning or tilting up and down! Basically it is a Manfrotto without the Mangrotto name on it, but I would put it up against any Manfrotto any day and have plenty of confidence that I would still be able to operate my camera with just as much ease and ability as a Manfrotto! I would highly recommend this tripod for anyone on a budget... and to be honest with you, I would recommend it to anyone who isn't on a budget because you would be surprised and amazed at the superior quality of this tripod, especially at about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of a Manfrotto tripod!! Give it a shot, you might find that you are completely satisfied with this tripod or you may not...?! But I would far outweigh the positives over the negatives on this tripod... as a matter of fact, if I ever need to pick up another one, I will without a doubt try for one of these before even looking at a more expensive one! It comes with rubber non-slip feet that have spikes that retract if you do not need to use them and like I said before... the fluid head completely surprised me because I was expecting something that barely worked, was too loose or too tight, but this thing couldn't be any smoother!!

Very good fluid head tripod for the money. The head on this model is bigger than my more expensive tripod and comes with two tilt controls knobs for fine adjustment and smooth action, especially when shooting video. The QR plate is nice and long at around 4.75 inches (120.65mm) compared to some tripods that use shorter plates. I just finished putting together my Canon M50 rig and needed something lightweight yet sturdy ( I guess everyone does when buying a tripod) and this model fit the bill. Even the plastic parts feel solid. The legs are aluminum with a dark gunmetal look. Raising and lowering is a breeze with the oversized knobs on each leg section and the built-in spreader is easy to adjust and lock in. The rubberized feet will self adjust to a flat surface or you can reveal the spikes (when using outdoors on grass, dirt, etc.) simply by spinning the feet up the threaded rod. The 75mm bowl head works really well and makes tweaking the camera level quick and easy without having to adjust each leg when on uneven terrain. I'm surprised to see a bowl on a tripod at this price. The whole tripod collapses for easy transport and includes a heavy nylon padded bag. The pan bar is nice and thick and is large enough to control a heavier rig. It's a surprisingly good looking, solid tripod for the money. I would recommend it to anyone who shoots interviews, weddings, landscapes or real estate.

I liked the sturdiness of the tripod. Also the adjustability

Verry god

The media could not be loaded. Best price i found so far and has a warranty i like.YoTilon Heavy Duty Tripod Video reviewon the bottom right of the video(X) has a option to view FULL Screen

This tripod fits my needs for all my media and journalists duties

Works exactly like it's supposed to nice and sterdy no complaints super satisfied

This is an ok tripod however I am worried the leg support (arms at the bottom) will break easy they are cheap plastic. :( You can buy replacements and hopefully remove the original but so far all the ones I see are close to 100 bucks and may not fit. Good as a back up but not as your primary tripod
