Gift for Photographer Smvchen 74.8" Video Tripod with Fluid Head Quick Release Plate Metal Feet for Video Camera Panoramic Camera Sports Camera Projectors Telescopes Max Load 11 Lbs for Video Making

I bought this tripod for my spotting scope. It works very well! The fluid head is easy to maneuver, & once in position, it’s stays there without locking the head in place! I wish I would have known I could get a great tripod at this price, I wouldn’t have wasted $20 on the first tripod I bought for the scope, which didn’t work very well, & eventually stopped working at all!

It worked well for my DSLR. For shots that require no movement when shutter is pressed a remote trigger is recommended. It isn't as sturdy as larger models but I go on short hikes with this and it holds up well given it's compact size and weight. It's tricky doing perfectly smooth tilts or pans with while videoing but it is doable.

Great value tripod!! Sturdy for the cost! Comes with extra feet attachments and a spare camera attachment!! Even has a weight hook!! Was using it to mount a rifle spotting scope and it worked great out to 700 yards. Will need a weight bad to help stabile with a little wind, but it has the hook just for that…even though I didn’t use it. Despite it being a little lighter then I hoped, it’s solid and a great value for the cost!! Very smooth cams in the camera head!!

I purchased this for my husband’s birthday gift. It comes with a very nice carrying bag that all equipments could fit in perfectly. Very stable and securely assembled and good for outdoor picture taking!

This tripod is lightweight but sturdy. I have took it out for a trip and to got some nice photos with it. Very handy for taking selfie and not having to ask someone else to.
