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 Bobby Blanton

Good - It's lighter than most video tripods - Allows for smooth pan and tilt - Easy to set up Bad - Overpriced - Long process to go from tripod to monopod, talk you about the bad . Designed more for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, this tripod costs over $100, which I think is higher than other video tripods that can handle larger camcorders. Also, changing from a tripod to a monopod requires the use of an Allen key. You'll likely need pliers to loosen the main screw that attaches to the tripod leg and head, which generally makes the transition from one setup to another long. As far as pan and tilt smoothness goes, I have experience with the CAYER brand before and have no performance issues. As expected, it allows you to move the camera smoothly and record videos. Attaching the grip, camera and leg spikes is pretty easy. Overall build quality is good and it should last a long time.
