I wanted a tripod for my home projector and decided on this one and it's great, the ball bearing is strong and the 'heavy duty' construction helps keep things strong to hold, I recommend it if you want a stable tripod for your heavy device. don't watch anymore. If you're going to carry it 10km on a backpack and want to get 10,000 shots, probably not, but for shooting or supporting a stationary device it's great.
