【16' Heavy Duty】 RAUBAY Extreme Tall Video Camera Sports Tripod Stand Air-Cushioned Telescoping Aluminium Alloy Light Stand with 1/4"& 3/8" Screw Adapter, Professional Sky High Tripod - TT480 Black…

I don’t normally write reviews, but this tripod is AMAZING! Very high quality, easily portable using the case straps as a backpack, and very reasonably priced. I used it for the first time recording video of a 3-day volleyball tournament in DC with my GoPro 10 and captured every moment for the team. The height of this tripod enabled a much better view of the action than traditional camera tripods, to the delight of parents, players and the coach - using the higher video angle to easily show player movement on every play. This is the only tripod that I’ll use going forward. It’s literally a game changer!I used a rechargeable lithium battery, which stores perfectly in the tripod leg frame, and long cable to power the GoPro on a single charge all day vs changing GoPro batteries.It comes with one cable clip, but I ended up looping the power cable around each of the S-knobs down the pole to secure it firmly in place. So, I didn’t need the cable clip.The base is very stable - it could take a direct hit from a stray volleyball and would not be knocked around or over - unlike lesser tripods.The air cushion telescoping tube design is super nice, preventing runaway collapse of the tubing when making adjustments or taking down. And it was easy to turn the tubing of any section to adjust the camera view without rotating the legs, again - unlike other tripods.Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product!!

Can easily mount a few dozen lbs on this thing, the included safety ropes are neccessary above 12ft IMO to reduce swaying/tipping risk. You should buy some tent stakes to secure the ropes to the ground, if you are using on dirt/grass.

This is an outrageously well-made tripod with unbelievable value. It is extremely sturdy and well made. The telescoping function works well with air-cushioned sections giving a lot of sturdiness. The clamps open and tighten easily and the base can be adjusted.I love the dual-threaded adapter that can be mounted in any direction giving a lot of flexibility.The height is IMPRESSIVE. I mounted a DJI Osmo Pocket to the top and used the tripod to emulate low drone flights in areas where it is not possible to fly.I was skeptical of the quality before I ordered it because the price was similar to a well made tripod of 6'. Don't be fooled by the low price: this is a great tripod and very glad I purchased.

odd use case on our end, but this "little" thing did great.2 negatives: 1, it can rust... quickly... especially the top mounting bolt. 2, the pinch warnings on the adjustable lags are no joke... even being careful, I still got my finger/hand pad.positives:very stable even in rough (jungle mountains in the pacific) terrain and high winds.light and easy to setup for its height.case is nice, but we ended up putting in a ski bag for air travel.

Great and wide footprint. Good stability and good quality. If I need another one, I wouldn’t hesitate buying it again.

Good product

I had to grab a second one because I felt bad filming just one field and not 2 fields.

Tips over on a windy day. Probably good for indoor use.
