Product Review
I use this to mount my older Hi8 digital camcorder for recording beach volley ball tournements and it holds up well to the robust on shore breeze. This thing is made of alumninum and is really light for its size. Its also strong, I set up a Nikon DSLR and hooked my bookback inside the middle of the tripod as counter weight. It was holding no less than 15lbs. You are able to point it in any direction and orient the camera how you like. big plus for me due to the fact i like to point my camera at the sky. the locking mechanisms enable you to control how tight or loose you want to have the ability to move your camera really well. in the suitable tightness, it is possible to move the camera really smoothly and it'll stay in place if you let go, but ensure its not too loose. all the tightning nuts can all be adjusted by hand too, which includes the piece that connects to the camera(ive observed some tripods that call for a screwdriver).
