📷 Slik Pro 700DX AMT 3-Section Tripod with Pan Tilt Head, 19.8 lbs Capacity, 6.23 feet Max Height, Black Review

We are very happy with the build, ease of use and ability to handle anything we put on it including the rather large and heavy spotting scope which it holds effortlessly. This is the second example of this variety that we have purchased [our latest model is larger and more adaptable] and now it's safe to say that if we need another one [which is unlikely given the build of this model] you can believe it. that we will be looking for a replacement for Slik: along with the many other products they

I recently bought a 30# tripod. He wouldn't hold my 1/2 lighter rig. I decided to try this Slik and I'm very glad I did. I needed to be able to mount my 500mm, 5 DSR, batteries and the occasional flash. This tripod held up better than any other I've used. I quickly relied on it.

My wife is a serious bird watcher. I bought her a large spotting scope (100mm lens, 22X-66X, about £5) for her birthday and wanted to give her a tripod that not only could handle the size and weight, but was also very strong to absorb vibration to reduce to a minimum. . . at high magnification. I also wanted a fairly tall tripod so it doesn't lengthen the center column, which can reduce vibration dampening. We tested the scope on my good carbon fiber tripod with Manfrotto ball head and found…
