Exactly what I was looking for!

This is one of my best investments! I've shot videos that required the camera to be tilted towards my desk and so far I've used standard tripods. It's been a long road to get here, I just never wanted to spend any money, but as I got more involved with my videos and my needs grew steadily, it became inevitable. In short, I'm so happy I decided to spend the money on it! It is very well made, very sturdy but not too heavy. It was easy to assemble, easy to move, and set up the rig exactly how you want it when you need it. Set up was very easy, well explained and required no tools. It was ready in about 30 minutes. I've spent some time going through my own collection of items and trying to further customize them to suit my needs. I rummaged through tripods and lighting equipment looking for different attachments to use. I was able to attach my lights to it and set up a side mount for a second angle for editing. Luckily, any 1/4" screw can be used to attach to the top. It's also easy to move the camera in any direction in seconds without fear of dropping it. you have to unscrew it every time. I have no problem with this as my screen tips over and my battery and memory card are easily accessible when plugged in. The place you have to work is the best part! Now everything is there, I'm not restricted between two tripods, two screens and everything else I need. I only have these and feel comfortable working with them. I just move the camera around! My only real complaints are that I wish it could have a few extra attachments. For example, there is space on the sides to attach more items after you attach the pole. However, these holes are different sizes than literally everyone else. It's slightly larger than the 1/4" size. It would be nice to have additional screws of that size for attaching various items. I would also welcome stronger/more reliable clips, the plastic clips seem to snap at any moment. As this wasn't the one Body of purchase (for me) and replacement is reasonably priced it's not a big deal but it does matter if you plan on using them also it would be nice to see the friction lever I know the listing clearly states they are not included but I can say I would really appreciate it if at least one of them were included as they are visible in the photo in the listing I cannot recommend highly enough!
