NEEWER TP75 74" 189cm Pro Video Tripod with Fluid Head

Pretty smooth with 8Kg of camera and lens

Well worth the price. The pan tension adjustment has nice range. I wish the tilt got a little stiffer but still good range of adjustment. The lockdown screws are spring loaded so you can pull out on them to adjust out of the way after tightning (see photos). This was a nice feature I havent previously read about on this. Was planning on using this as a backup to my older tripod but it just might be my main go to. Came with Alen wrenches for various uses. The legs on my other tripod needed tightning to firm up the triod on occasion, this comes with the needed tools for future maintainance. Hoping it lasts! I read the reviews and some stated the head unscrews from the base during operation. This is a 2 piece head. the first piece id the bowl to flat mount adapter that attachesto the tripod. Then you have the tripod head that attaches to that. The 2 pieces screw together but if not tight, they will unscrew. all you need you need to do is tighten the nut on the bottom (shown in my photo) and problem solved.a 12mm wrench or adjustabl wrench will snugit up.

This tripod is very good. It's very sturdy and is really tall when fully erected, about 7ft tall. The only downside is that it's a little heavy, but that is probably because I'm used to using smaller lightweight travel tripods, and isn't too much of a problem. It's very good value for money and I would recommend in investing in one of these tripods.

I really liked that ❤️❤️❤️

Why did you choose this product over others?:Having stuck to 'budget' tripods for years I've often encountered issues with stability, portability, and general functionality that should have been signs to buy a decent tripod rather than the cheapest, this is that tripod.While professionals will likely have much better options to choose from, I believe this to be an ideal choice for the amateur enthusiast.Build quality:The construction is solid, whether it's rocks, concrete, or moderate height so far no accidents have resulted in more than a light cosmetic scratch.Stability:One of the main reasons I needed an upgrade to begin with was that I had upgraded the equipment being mounted, with much larger and sensitive gear that amplified each wobble and shake, suddenly a strong gust had gone from inconvenient to downright hazardous.With the tripod however that issue is gone, without even using sandbags (or weights in general) the base stability is such that I've been able to simply pick a spot, fully extend the legs, and not encounter any perceivable movement in stills or video use, granted I'm not facing extremes like a tornado or something but this was a big deal for my environment.Functionality:Naturally there's the legs, all three of which can be extended and locked independently to suit your height, and feature adjustable feet to accommodate angled surfaces better, along with a simple combining bar to stabilise the legs when deployed.Where the really nice features come in though is the head design, with not just standard quick release but also support for DJI gimbals, independently lockable vertical and horizontal axis, adjustable sensitivity for both axis, a magnetic storage slot for the allen key used with the plate (this has been a god send), and my favourite; an adjustable arm that can be mounted on either (or if you have another, both) side allowing for use in awkward positions.Put simply, this tripod does a lot with the head that will go a long way in making your life easier in the field.Oh and there's a spirit level, because of course there is.Overall if you need an upgrade and it's at an affordable price, absolutely give this tripod a try, personally I waited for a sale and if I could go back knowing what I do now I'd have bought it at release, in a decade I may be using some crazy professional rig but for my current life this is the only tripod I want.

Great value for money tripod for videography. The firmness of the pan and tilt can be adjusted and it's a super stable platform

Surprisingly good for the price, the fluid head is smooth in both pan and tilt using my 3kg SLR camera and the legs are quite solid. The only thing i wish was added would be an adjustable spreader bar instead of the fixed spread so you could widen out the legs in the unextended position.. I also got the large dolly to add to it and that works awesome .. Overall, a good investment.
