Digital camera reviews of Velbon VideoMate-607/F Heavy-Duty Tripod with Case

Digital camera Review: Great for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars

My second tripod, I purchased this after buying my Canon Vixia HV-30 and realizing that It didnt have a LANC port, so I didnt need an expensive tripod with handle controls. The head on this is amazing, allowing for incredible pans. The head is extremely fluid with easy control levers. Its heavy enough to be sturdy, yet light enough to cary around no problem. It also comes with its own carrying case which is really convenient. The reasons I give it four stars: The head plate comes off easy, but when putting it back on the lever has come back and jammed into my fingers numerous times. One of the other main reasons I purchased this tripod was that I do a lot of night time photography, and this tripod allows for vertical shots. Having my heavier camera on there tilted all the way forward to do a vertical shot felt very unstable.
Other than that, all around great tripod.

Summary of Velbon VideoMate-607/F Heavy-Duty Tripod with Case

Hakuba offers innovative products with superb quality and exceptional value to everyone from the demanding professional to the enthusiastic hobbyist. The company is well known for its full line-up of compact and tabletop tripods, its strong selection of dual function (photo/video) tripods, and many other models suitable for specialized activities such as hunting or bird watching. The Videomate series standard-size, lightweight, full-featured tripods are designed and engineered for use with most camcorders.
Engineered for use with full-size camcorders, the heavy-duty VideoMate-607 tripod features a deluxe, fluid two-way pan head with a versatile handle design, making it easy to adjust the camcorder to a variety of angles.

Users will also appreciate the tripod's auto-lock system and camera-safe, side-mount, quick- release platform, which includes a retractable camcorder alignment pin. And thanks to the tripod's radial leg braces, 1-inch tubular aluminum legs, steel ground spikes, and adjustable rubber tips, you can rest assured that the tripod will sit stably even on slippery or uneven surfaces.
