spot on product very stable and sturdy

I don't usually write reviews, buy am very pleased with this. Great range of height and really sturdy; I had bought a Panasonic xc2 for macro filming at work, and purchased with it a travel tripod that extended to about half the height of this one and the ball joint kept dropping the view of the camcorder due to its weight. The fluid movement control on this tripod really solves the problem, and tightening the lock keeps the camcorder absolutely static. Really easy to set up, and legs are on quick release clips that are opened and closed in a jiffy - I have no problems setting the camera up to a working height of 2m unassisted.

I don't do many reviews for things I've bought on Amazon, but felt I had to for this magnificent tripod.I am new to amateur astronomy. Just something I do out in the back garden on a dark night.I recently splashed out for a very heavy set of 25x100 binoculars that need a very sturdy mount in order to observe the skies with very little wobble. I tried a bog standard camera tripod which seemed to be able to do the trick. But no. They were utterly useless.I needed something that exceeded my height (I'm 6'2") so that I could look up high and that would be very sturdy, so I decided to opt for this tripod. And I have to say, they are utterly FANTASTIC! Sturdy and robust, they easily take my weighty binoculars and I'm able to move and freeze the tripod and its arm easily to observe the skies with no wobble of the view whatsoever.If you want to buy a decent tripod, get this. You will not be disappointed.

I am impressed with this item and it’s functioning well

I needed a sturdy tripod to mount the ZWO Seestar s50 APO. Much cheaper than an astronomy tripod and performs just as well for my needs. Very good value.

We been using it for almost two years. At least couple of times a week. It’s an excellent product. Strong for a studio setup but may not be that good within a crowd. It’s not that heavy. Easily for into a suite case. Good value for money.

Good water head

Everything about this tripod ticked all the boxes except two things!1. The pan is no good, once you loosen the lock, there's drag or very little to no resistance.2. The clips for the legs when transporting the tripod came broken.
