Digital camera reviews of Slik Heavy-Duty Tripod with 3-Way Fluid-Effect Head and Built-In Bubble Level
Digital camera Review: Tripod was defective
Summary: 1 Stars
Item was shipped with broken handle AND an invoice that claimed a tripod bag was in the box! RMA procedure by Amazon is very good.Digital camera Review: Truly impressed with Tripod considering its low price
Summary: 4 Stars
The tripod is easy to adjust, just the right height, fits in my large suitcase and is very attractive. I wish it came with a carrying case or at least a built-in handle. I was leery of its low price and "D" shaped legs but it is well made and very sturdy. The legs are easy to set-up at different lengths, in case you are working on a non-level surface. I'm concerned that the handle is plastic and the pan-head is tight when trying to move up and down.Digital camera Review: Very Light and Able Tripod! - Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
It does everything it says.
This tripod is light, and can fold to less than half its height.
I use it with my Nikon 8800, and have taken many portraits and close ups with this wonderful Tripod.
Digital camera Review: Very sturdy, minor inconveniences.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am new to videography. I just bought a Canon Vixia HG10 (High Def camcorder) and wanted a tripod solid enough to hold up the camera without any issues. For that concern, this tripod is excellent. It does its job fantastically and is very easy to extend, lock, and unlock with the tab mechanism built into the legs.
I do have one complaint. I set it up in my dorm to record me playing Rock Band (for split screen videos with the drum chart) and due to limited space my positioning is very restrained. It would make it much easier to be able to angle the tripod camcorder mounting plate down, but it locks flat at 90 degrees, level with the ground. This is my only complaint, it tilts up and to the sides very smoothly and as long as you tighten with pressure, the threads hold and do not unthread themselves.
Overall I would recommend it, but if you know you want to angle any downward-looking shots, do a little bit more research before deciding.
Digital camera Review: Well Made and Definitely Worth the Investment
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tripod! I am extremely happy with my purchase. It's built heavy duty (like its name implies). All controls operate easily and stay in the position you put them in. It's a trust-worthy piece of equipment that will definitely make my 'shooting sessions' easier, with a higher quality of photo. Quick shipping and well packaged. I'm happy all the way around with this purchase. The bubble level and feet which allow a soft stand or spiked stand are nice as well and can actually be used (unlike on similar ones that are not dependable). Most definitely worth the investment.
