73" Tripod for Camera with Fluid Head - Heavy Duty Stand for DSLR, Cell Phones, Spotting Scopes & Webcam - Complete Unit with Tablet & Phone Mount

I like that this tripod has legs, each with three segments that can be extended as needed. I typically extend the thickest segment and sometimes the second thickest segment, if I really need the height, I extend all 3 segments. You can even extend each segment only partway, to different lengths, if you're on an incline or other non-flat surface (like a grassy hill). You can extend the top if you need extra height.I ignore the two levelers because I am typically standing in the nosebleed section and shooting down, but I guess they're useful if you're in a studio.The hook at the bottom helps hold my camera bag to keep it off the ground. OK, it's real reason is to use the bag's weight to help stabilize the tripod, but I am never far from it anyway because people are always walking around and will bump into the legs.

If you're looking for smooth pans upward, downward, left to right this one does the job perfectly. Nice fluid head, I even did some quick pan test with it to see how smooth the "stops" were. Buttery smooth. For the price you can't go wrong, it's mostly made of plastic which allows for a cheaper price. Handle it with care, it's sturdy and looks like thick plastic but if you bang it or drop it. You'd prob chip it, as long as you handle it with care, this Tripod can last a long time from the looks of the build. Eitherway, if you're looking for something affordable that can do GOOD PANS this is it!

This tripod is not only sturdy, it has a professional look to it. It comes in a carrying case that allows the tripod to fit snugly in it. The “balance bubbles” are a nice touch to ensure you are level in still shots. It took me a day or so to finally open the box. When I did, it seemed as if my iPhone was brand new. The crank, while it feels a little flimsy, seems so far to be pretty steady. The picture that I took was it without the legs being extended all the way. I was so excited to get it, I posted it on Facebook and got quite a few comments…ALL POSITIVE. Great buy for shooting stills, video, or even time lapse video.

Victiv Pioneer 775 73 inch version Purchased on 3-31-2022 for around $50 USDAll releases operate smoothly.The weight hook seems more than adequate for 10 pounds.Pan is smooth, not too loose, tilt adjusts from very loose to locked tight, which is great.One feature I especially like is that when removing the quick release place, the release stays open until you place a plast back in OR push down the 'sensor' button.This is phenomenal ! !!It saves fumbling to re-open the quick release with a camera or other device in your hand(s)!I have other tripods that cost twice as much that do not have this simple feature !Conceivably, this feature could prevent the dropping of a device, therefore saving much more than the cost of the tripod !So far, I am quite pleased with this tripod

This is my first tripod for recording video and I must say I'm very impressed with its quality. It's very lightweight and easy to pack up and take with you on-the-go. The extendable legs allow for tons of flexibility when filming from different heights and angles. The panning, both vertical and horizontal, can be adjusted by twisting the two nobs on the left side of the plate and can go from very smooth to very stiff, based on your liking. It also came with a phone mount, which is also very handy when you don't have a camera on you. Overall, this is an excellent product and I would definitely recommend it to others looking into recording video professionally.

The tripod operates smooth enough. It's no fine tuned machine, but for the price, it does the job. The first tripod that I received had a malfunction where the hand crank would get stuck and not raise the height of the center extension piece. I communicated with the seller, and they were very good in getting the issue resolved, so that was a great experience. The is really my first tripod, so I don't have much to compare it to other that a little cheapo selfie-stick mini tripod thing I had bought one Amazon a few days before. That thing was so wobbly and unstable, I returned that, paid a little more money for this and was glad I did. I'm just using this for making home movies with my cell phone currently, so I didn't want to go pay hundreds of dollars just to get a smooth rotating head tripod.

This tripod is light enough to comfortably carry on photo shoots with my camera bag, but is sturdy enough that I am not as worried about the wind blowing it over or the tripod randomly collapsing on me-as tripods in the past have done. I like that it has the attachment for the phone and my camera. It seems pretty simple and quick to exchange the two, although I haven’t had any time-sensitive reason to exchange them. Overall, decent tripod for the price. I like to save money where I can and have learned that some things are worth the investment, a decent tripod being one of them. I am satisfied with my purchase and do not feel like I wasted my money.

I got this tripod a little over a month ago to film trains. I took it on a three-day trip, and the first day was completely fine. However, I noticed that the bottom three legs were stiff and harder to extend and retract than the other sections. On the second day, while extending the legs, I accidentally pulled one too hard, causing it to fly out onto the ground. I have tried contacting them, but I haven't received a response yet. Hopefully, I'll get a response after posting this review.
