Digital camera reviews of Sony VCT-80AV Remote Control Tripod for use with Compatible Sony Camcorders

Digital camera Review: excellent
Summary: 4 Stars

This fluid head tripod turned out to be just great. There were not reviews on it yet when I bought it, because it was a new model, but it seemed to address all the problems I read about in other reviews especially the "real" fluid oil head which was not available on such a modestly priced tripod in my investigations.

Digital camera Review: good video now great video
Summary: 5 Stars

Nice movement control, used mostly to film sporting events for the kids.A touch pricey ( $ 20.00 less? ) would be fine but well made,no bs.Nice case delivered on time. Thats what happens when you spend a little more....youre usually satisfied

Digital camera Review: great for the money
Summary: 5 Stars

We have been using this tripod now for several months at our church with a Sony FXR 7 Camera and it works very smoothly, panning and tilting are very slick and the legs are very stable. The remote handle really is the selling feature, it works flawlessly and the super slow zoom is great for live feeding our service on the Web in full HD 1080. For less than $200 I don't see how you could do better. Definetly Recomend!

Digital camera Review: great product
Summary: 5 Stars

very high quality tripod.
very smooth in movement.
I love the slow zoom and the grid buttons on the remote.

the only negative that I can thing of is that the photo button is too close to the other buttons and I often inadvertantly take a photo.

I am very pleased that I both this.

Digital camera Review: sony VCT-80AV remote control tripod review
Summary: 3 Stars

This tripod has some nice features, but is shaky. It is very lightweight, which is great when one is carrying it. The mounting plate is plastic, and my sony handycam wobbles a bit. The handle with the remote record on/off, camera on/off and variable zoom is great. The slow zoom works very well, nice and smooth. The camera can be mounted on the tripod with the handle to the front,making it easy to start/stop and zoom when you are alone. The tilt and pan functions claim to be fluid filled, I can't tell that they are. Both are poor in the mid range, sort of either stiff or loose. Overall, For the price, the remote feature is very nice. But it is not a stable tripod.
