Overview
A fluid video head on a flat base crowns twin tube aluminium legs built for DSLR and camcorder video. A spare quick release plate lets a second camera be readied off the tripod, and the set travels in its own carrying case.
Smooth video moves and a load rating with room for a camera plus accessories make this kit worth a look. It is heavy to carry on foot, and the listing gives no minimum height or leg section count, so low angle work is an unknown.
Who it's for
Event shooters, interviewers and hobby filmmakers working from a fixed spot get a fluid head and sturdy legs in one kit. People who mostly film on a phone or walk long distances with gear should look lighter.
Pros and cons
- Fluid head for smooth video moves
- Generous load rating for camera rigs
- Spare quick release plate included
- Carrying case and tool supplied
- Heavy to carry over distance
- Minimum height not listed
- Not water resistant
- No phone clamp included
Performance notes
Smoothness of pans and tilts comes from the fluid damping in the head, which resists jerky starts and stops. Stability depends on the twin tube legs spreading the load, and running near the load rating at full extension makes the rig more prone to shake. The quick release plate decides how fast a camera goes on and off.
