Review on πŸ“· SLIK Sprint 150 Aluminum Tripod with SBH-150DQ Ball Head - Black: A Sturdy and Versatile Photography Essential by Bradley Wacks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Large travel tripod

This is a great tripod. It took several others before I found this one. The weight is perfect for my travel pack. I mean, the ideal 2.3 pounds is superior to the 3.12 pounds I wanted to carry around. It has a single locking ball head which is a bit tricky but they added planes on 2 axes which makes it really easy. Anyone who has ever fiddled with a single lock ball head knows what I'm talking about. The legs flex a bit but I love this tripod and have added a hook under the center column to hang a load if I need to stabilize it more. It has a 4.6 pound capacity, which I think is right. Just a word of caution on this note: the camera body and telephoto lens may weigh "X" on the postal scale, but the leverage of this telephoto lens adds to the weight. This might not be the best choice for you if that's the case. but works great with my everyday 18-200mm lens. Of course your mileage may vary, my goal is that you don't have a collection like mine.

Pros
  • Single locking ball head
Cons
  • Shorter cable than other picks
