Digital camera reviews of Opteka 70" Full Size Professional Photo / Video Tripod
Digital camera Review: Very good product...
Summary: 5 Stars
Good Balance between price & quality. Its' light but strong enough to support my Canon XTi... Maybe if you use a professional video camera you would need a stronger tripod, but for small video cameras and any kind of photo camera its good enough.Digital camera Review: Just what I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a tripod for a gift for my husband. I'm no photographer and didn't know if every camera and video camera would "fit" onto the tripod. Well, he loves it. He's very tall and he doesn't have to hunch over to use it, and his Nikon camera and video camera both go right on it. Such a reasonable price too.Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great Tripod and I couldn't have asked for more. Actually I'm amazed it didn't cost more with all of the features. If you need a great Tripod that's easy to use then this is the one. Get it while the gettin' is good.Digital camera Review: Sturdy, but not for video
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the first tripod I've owned, but I go to school where there are professional level tripods we use, so I have a frame of reference.
*THIS TRIPOD IS NOT IDEAL FOR VIDEO*
It will fit your camera, but the single knob used for both panning and tilt causes too much resistance on the tilt shots. You will get a staccato bumping in your video as you try to smoothly tilt the head up or down no matter how loose the friction knob is.
Panning is pretty smooth, and other than the somewhat big tilt problem, the tripod is probably good for the money. It has dual levels, although the head itself does not swivel, so you will have to adjust the legs. For the price though, that's pretty much what you'd expect.
Buy this if you're just testing the waters to see how much tripod you need in your films. Expect to upgrade relatively soon though, if you find yourself using it much.
Digital camera Review: Great value!
Summary: 4 Stars
For the price, this thing is great! Stable, easy to set up and level. Not great for camcorder panning though, as the head is not even remotely like a fluid head.
