Review on 📷 Discover Perfect Stability and Versatility with Sabrent 62 Inch Carbon Fiber Tripod (TP-CF62) – Your Ultimate Camera Companion! by Joseph Marshall

Updated March 11, 2019 - After several email exchanges with a very unhelpful customer service representative at Sabrent I became eventually transferred to someone else. This person has agreed to send a replacement tripod. I didn't have to go through all that drama, but I'm grateful they at least replaced the tripod. Update March 4, 2019 - I haven't used this tripod that much because one of the leg clamps is loose and keeps slipping off the leg it's on. I used a metric allen wrench to gently tighten the screw and I heard a "click". Bad sign. Upon closer inspection I can see that the female threaded sleeve in the plastic yoke assembly has broken the plastic and pulled it out of the assembly. Done cheaply and that should never have happened. photo attached. I have contacted Sabret Support and will let you know the response. This is a review of the Sabrent 62" Carbon Fiber Tripod with 360 Camera Mount. Wow, with all these positive reviews, I was expecting something spectacular. After receiving the Sabrent tripod, I quickly checked the reality. When I saw the When I opened the box I was greeted by a disgustingly strong smell of mold or something.This smell lingers and even after a few days of airing it outside it still retains a very strong odor.Ugh.I don't want this thing in the house right now it stinks so much. Just because it's carbon fiber doesn't mean much. My opinion on this tripod is that you should get a better quality aluminum tripod. It's just awkward to use and doesn't even have the detachable one Monopod as they claim. There are two tension knobs for the ball head. Why? This only makes the tripod more cumbersome to use. If I need to quickly reposition the camera, I don't want to bother with loosening two knobs and then tightening them again when only one is really needed. The rubber tripod legs have a screw adjustment that opens the spikes. Spikes are nice and necessary in some shooting locations, but when used indoors, especially on a wooden floor, I never want a protruding spike to scratch the floor. These are slightly exposed spikes because there are no proper leg covers. Simply adjust the screw to raise the rubber pad to reveal the spike or lower the rubber pad to hide the spike. The problem is that the legs become loose and the tip of the spike protrudes a little too easily, which can scratch the floor. Poorly. The legs are thin, which is why the tripod has very little stability, especially in windy weather. Better get a higher quality aluminum tripod than this mediocre carbon fiber tripod. Look for something from Manfrotto, Slik or Benro to get you started.
