Victiv Camera Tripod, 72" Video Tripod with Fluid Head, Aluminum Heavy Duty Tripod with Carry Bag, Professional Camera Tripods & Monopods, Compatible with Canon, Sony, DSLR, Camcorder

Super sturdy. This thing feels really expensive and looks really expensive. If you are in need of a tripod/monopod that can reach ground level macro all the way up to about 7 feet tall this is for you. Great for those downward angle portraits. The one leg comes off easily to use as a monopod/hiking stick for quick sturdy photos on hikes or even just around town. The tripod also has many many different heights/angles. The legs can be set wide for outdoors landscape shots or narrow for crowded museum shots. Very easy to use as well. All fits in a nice little zip up travel bag. Pretty light but still has that expensive kinda weight to it. The color is really striking too. It has a level built in for even photos. Get this! Don’t bother with more expensive versions because the quality is the same as the ones that are hundreds of dollars. I use it with my Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR and multiple lenses including a very large 420mm-800mm telescopic lens. I friggin live this thing.

Sturdy and great deal!

I have two cameras - Nikon D7500 (typically used with the Nikkor 18-300 zoom) and Nikon Coolpix P1000. Both stellar and both heavyweights. The Coolpix P1000 has a weird center of gravity when the 3000mm telephoto is fully extended, tending to make the front end dip.I had originally bought the Compact Action Aluminum Tripod from the famous Italian Tripod company (they who shall be nameless). It's a good tripod for the price, but simply unable to deal with the weight of my two cameras. I saw the failure in action when I was trying to take moonshots on the full moon on June 21 - no matter how tightly I set the camera, the flex in the tripod would ensure that the front would dip, leading to frustration and wasted shots.I immediately did some research and settled on the Tripod (brand name 'Victiv'). I tried it out today - first off, despite the light weight of the tripod, it's rock solid - you can feel the heft and the firmness in the head, which is a pan/tilt type, that can be locked into position and totally forgotten about. No flex here.The quality of production is excellent - each component is carefully finished and works as it should. I found pros as below:1. Rock solid - zero flex. Can be locked in any position with camera.2. Head designed to easily come apart into component pieces for ease of handling, including the pan/tilt handle.3. Pan/tilt handle can be locked on either side of the head.4. Reverse folding legs, removable hook, removable center column.5. Flexible - can be used as monopod.6. Ratcheted legs - you can spread as much or as little as you wish and then lock into place.7. Removable rubber feet enclosing spike feet.8. TOTALLY reasonable price.9. Arca-Swiss type Quick release assembly, but plate size seems to be larger than the usual. Still, not an issue as I can switch the plate between two cameras.10. QR Has an additional fail-safe (fall-safe) lock nut that needs to be depressed for the removal of the plate (fixed on camera). Extremely difficult to drop the camera when you un-screw the QR plate.Summary: Looks and feels like solid, long-lasting tripod. Everything is solid, yet lightweight. Truly well-crafted. And the price is a fraction of the high-end tripods, without compromising on quality.Yes, I do recommend this product.

I was looking for video tripods with a fluid head and this is the most budget option. First, I really like that I can invert the legs as I’m trying to piece together a budget dslr scanning setup. The price shows, the head is very difficult to get level since I think the base of the head and the mounting plate are misaligned slightly. Great for amateur stuff and as a photographic tripod, the fluid head does work well, however has a somewhat large initial bump with lighter cameras and should have more resistance in my opinion in the pan axis, and isn’t as variable as the tilt axis. Overall however I would recommend this.

I've used this tripod on a daily basis for 2 months and very happy with it. I have had no trouble at all with my camera/zoom combo that weights in at just under 6 pounds. For the last month I have used it with a gimble, and it is even better as it's more balanced but the head that comes with it is more than capable of more weight than what I'm using. I do worry a bit when it's windy, so I use my bag to weight it down using the included hook. Solid tripod, very happy with it in all aspects.

***This tripod DOES fit inside the case WITHOUT removing the head. For all of the reviewers claiming otherwise: You're folding the legs incorrectly.***Outstanding strength and stability for something that can fold up into a backpack! The panning is crazy smooth, even with a heavy load attached.The leg locks feel solid, and the tilt lock does too.My favorite aspect is that it isn't constantly unscrewing itself when I pan left and right. This can't be overstated: so many budget tripods have this issue.I am baffled by the strength and quality of this build!It doesn't replace my Sachtler, but it's simply unbeatable for the price and functionality.

I am very well pleased with this product. This is the 3rd tripod I have purchased for my little Dwarf3 telescope and by far the best. Very easy to set up and works excellently with my telescope. Also very stable. The only scope I could find on Amazon with these type of legs and not a ball head mount, which I hate.

So I knew from the get go that this was a high end product, but when it came in the mail and I opened it...... completely blown out of the water. This unit is super high quality and durable, it's an extremely versatile tripod that has wowed me in every way possible. It supports so much weight and it's so easy to use, the screw locks are my favorite part. You can adjust this unit in SO many different configurations and the screw locks hold as much pressure as you can apply to them. I've never had a tripod before so I now feel spoiled because of this item, I feel like a cameraman in Hollywood lol. Highly recommend this product to literally ANYONE who needs a tripod, my girlfriend and I are so excited to go on paranormal investigations and film high quality content. Thank you so much victiv, you got 2 customers for life
