Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: This feature-packed tripod provides the ultimate in remote camcorder operation. You can adjust your zoom speed with a simple tilt of a lever and use the Guide Frame feature to help align and frame your shots. The oil fluid head provides the smoothest pans and tilts possible. Adjusts from 24 3/4" to 65 3/4". Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great tripodUsing this with a HD-SR12 camcorder. Has bubble level which is fantastic. Also has remote cotrol which has a slow zoom feature that I constantly use. Fantastic option. However, the pan/tilt movements are really stiff. You can obviously adjust the tension but it is either stiff or you loosen it until it is just too loose. Still a fantastic tripod. Glad I bought it! Rating:  - Perfect for lightweight tripod needs with a compact prosumer video cameraThough I have used professional video tripods from Sachtler and Bogan Manfrotto in the past with full-sized professional video cameras, they are a bit of overkill for a prosumer grade compact HDV video camera.

The panning and tiling is very smooth and allows easy following of very active grandchildren and pets with no jerking motion. The only negetive issue is that I had to buy a padded case to replace the one that came with it for improved protection. Rating: - A great tripod for interviewsA great all around tripod to shoot events and interviews. I use it with my Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder. Easy to attach the connecting AV cable so you can control the camera's zoom (fast or slow) and start and stop recording. The tripod does a lot for what it costs and it is very stable. If your uses are for fast action sports requiring fast pans, you may want to consider a more expensive carbon fiber or aluminum tripod, the Sony VCT-80AV is made of hard plastic.
