You are buying a brand new tripod.Have you ever wish you could easily record high quality sports games such as soccer, football, Little League from the sideline?
If yes, this tripod is for you.
This tripod is designed to be unobtrusive and light. It is only 9 pounds, yet will hold cameras and camcorders up to 10 pounds. Unlike regular tripods which take up a lot of space, this tripod has a footprint of about 3 feet, not much bigger than the footprint of average sports chair. Instead of the traditional three legged tripod, this tripod features a single post that rise up from small legs to meet the camera head. This allows easy one hand moving and positioning. It also allows for the camera operator to get closer to the tripod.
The tripod's minimum height is 44 inches and can extend up to 70 inches. The legs are adjustable to give a larger or smaller footprint, depending on your needs.
The fluid filled tripod head allows for smooth panning and tilting. This is the secret of great looking video. Unlike tripods that have friction based heads, this tripod head has a viscous gel filled pan and tilt mechanism. This gel serves to isolate body movement from the camcorder, so that the camera actions are smooth. Yes it does cost more, but for video this is the way to go. It will give you professional like results. Trust us. We have tested all kinds of tripods and we can't recommend fluid filled heads enough. It makes the difference between footage that you watch only a few minutes of vs footage that you watch over and over again. The tripod head has tension adjustment dials to adjust the amount of fluidity of the movement. There are also two locking screws to lock the tripod head in a certain position and not let it wander due to gravity or wind. The head is removable from the tripod body.
The tripod is made of high quality tubular steel, for a stable yet light weight product.
This tripod is great for the weekend soccer mom or dad, who just want to capture some great video footage, without spending a lot of money, and without heavy equipment or flimsy traditional tripods.
Note: Because the tripod is so light, at the maximum height, you might find it useful to stabilize it during panning, either with your other hand, or some weights such as a sand bag or heavy back pack. This will also prevent strong wind from tipping the tripod over.
Buy with confidence. You have 30 days to return the tripod if you are not satisfied. After that we will warrant the tripod for a period of 1 year from purchase against manufacturing defects.
Camcorder for illustration only and is not included.
