NEEWER79"/200cm Video Tripod, Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Camera Tripod Stand with 360° Fluid Drag Head, QR Plate Compatible with Canon Nikon Sony and Other DSLR Camera Camcorder, Load Up to 17.6lb/8kg

This tripod actually did exceed my expectations. Becareful as it carries a little weight but that is only because it is solidly built and very sturdy. Great value for the money, functions even better than I expected, smooth setup and operation. The height was a plus for me, towering over my 6ft frame and still sturdy

A content creator and phone video-maker here. Before I used plastic tripods for $30-$50 which either ended up breaking or having weak joints leaning on the side. Yesterday I got this one and couldn’t be happier! It’s heavy, tough and stable. If you don’t need to carry it around a lot, it’s a great investment. It’s definitely a bit overkill if you use it just for phone, but honestly, I would rather deal with that, than wasting money on cheap tripods every 6 months.On the photos you can see it compared to my previous Onn tripod.

Great value. I’ve used it with my Blackmagic 6K Pro on multiple shoots traveling to multiple locations and has not shown much wear, especially due to the padded carrying case. It’s a little heavy, but I appreciate it. Love the height it gets up to, love the easy paddle style quick release leg adjustments.

So coming from a basic tripod to this one was awesome. It feels much sturdier, both from the legs and the mount itself. The X-axis rotation feels buttery smoother and there's minimal shake in the legs. The Y-axis rotation feels smooth and sturdy as well, much better than any $30 tripod you'll be looking at. With that said. For beginner-amateur photography, this rig may be a little overkill. It's not really "over the shoulder" portable, kind of heavy and bulky, and the slider-mount-thing is kind of a pain to use (I'll get to that). For videography though, especially if you want to use a motorized slider, I would definitely recommend this product, as it's not too expensive (by way of professional tripods) and it's pretty easy to use. Now, onto the material: I can't say much for the legs, they feel great. The head on the other hand looks and feels like it was 3D printed and sanded down? Doesn't affect the overall usage of the device, just gives off a cheaper feel. Aesthetics, you know? The sliding mount also feels a little clunky and I kind of have to force it in and out of place. Maybe that's a good thing, seeing as how I shouldn't have to worry about my camera falling off. The carrying bag feels pretty good, standard feel I guess. Like I said, this is a more professional-grade tripod and due to the extra leg support it is heavier but very stable. In conclusion, if you're a beginner - save your money and grab the Amazon Basics tripod and just go crazy with that. If you're looking to up your videography/cinematography game, I would totally get this tripod or something like it. I'd really only get this tripod if you've got a heavy photography setup (landscape, wildlife, telephoto, etc.) or are doing videography with rotating movements, either quick or slow in any direction.

Let me just say WOW to my latest edition to my personal home photography addition, theNeewer 79”/200cm Video Tripod, Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Camera Tripod Stand. It arrived veryquickly and as with all Neewer products, it was packaged professionally and without waste.I am always pleasedwith the Neewer commitment to smart design and using recyclable materials. Upon opening, I found all components professionally wrapped and in a secure and stylish carrying case. It is a well made and functional case that has dual carrying abilities, by hand or with the shoulder strap. The zipper is full length which allows for easy access to remove and replace the Tripod.I am now the proud owner of several Neewer photography pieces. I am extremely impressed and pleased with my Neewer Tripod. It has so many user friendly options and the "panning" abilities really free up your hands and allow for complete rotation and filming. I am currently using it also for still photos and I find it is exceptional in this regard also. As with all Neewer products, it is universal and works perfectly with my personal camera and components. The design on this Tripod far exceed my previous purchased brands. The entire leg system is the extremely heavy duty while still being light enough to carry. The leg extensions are user friendly and open and close with a superior ease compared to my other models. The height on this is beyond compare but when it is sitting at standard level, it does not take up any extra room or space. It does not appear bulky or cumbersome and is space sensitive. It is also pleasing to look at overall. This tripod takes minutes to learn it's functions and capabilities but serves as a high quality piece of equipment. I personally highly recommend this Neewer Tripod to anyone needing to upgrade to a better quality tripod that is affordable, well made, well designed and has great functionality.

We love it, it is a great tripod for heavy camcorders. it is also flexible.
