Review on Cayer FP2450 Fluid Head Tripod, 75-inch Aluminum Tripod, 4-Section Compact Camera Tripod/Monopod Combo for DSLR Camera, Load Capacity up to 13.2 lbs by Sean Garrison

My first career was on television. We call tripods "sticks" in the industry, and I can tell you that as a producer, screenwriter, cinematographer, and videographer, I've carried and used them more than I could wield a stick. I currently use such a tripod for my own videos and photographs and work with the best professional setups, so I have high standards. This tripod answers them. i really like him The most important thing for me is a liquid head. Even an expensive tripod without a tripod tends to jerk when panning and tilting. This is not a professional unit. His movements are buttery smooth. That's my top priority. It's well designed and constructed and weighs only 5 pounds, although it can support the weight of a camera up to 13 pounds. The legs are strong and easily slide out and snap into place. They come with mounted rubber feet and durable metal spikes that can be adjusted depending on the terrain. You can also turn it into a monopod, although that takes some work and might not be something you want to do on the fly. However, this is a good option. It expands to 75.4 inches. It folds down to a compact 24.6-inch size that packs away in the included durable cloth bag. Please note that there is no quick alignment ball under the head of this model. It would make it even more convenient but that's not part of this setup. However, there are 2 built-in spirit levels, one in the main unit and one in the tripod, for easy leveling. Overall - highly recommended and reasonably priced for what you get. The legs are strong and easily slide out and snap into place.
