Review on Optimize Your Video Shooting with Magnus VT-350 Video Tripod and Fluid Head by Sean Maples

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A really good tripod for the price.

I'm the Public Relations Officer for the Oregon Fire Department. And this tripod changed the rules of the game. I've used a few cheap tripods over the years which luckily I got to use for a year or two before they fell apart. Lots of wear and tear riding up and down hills, thrown out of car and used in muddy/smoky conditions. will be enough for many people who are not in the professional film business. As others have noted, there is a slight lag/judder in ballhead movement. If you play with it a little, it's quite difficult getting used to it and adjusting your shooting/timing to it. As others have pointed out, the ball head is tripod mounted and cannot be removed, which is quite a shame. Overall I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend this tripod to anyone looking for more than just an everyday tripod you can buy at a hardware store.

Pros
  • Independent pan and tilt locks; Camera quick release plate included
Cons
  • Available in black only
