Tripod, COMAN 71" Camera Tripod for DSLR, Lightweight Aluminum Video Tripod with Fluid Head 1/4" and 3/8" Mounting Screw Aluminum Quick Release Plate Professional Tripod Load up to 13.2 lbs

I wanted a good tripod/monopod to support my Panasonic HC-X1 video camera and I wasn't disappointed. The construction is of great quality, normally seen in more expensive equipment. It's made from nice solid material and the head will easily support a heavy professional camera. I like the way one of the legs is unscrewed and connected to the centre column converting it into a superb monopod. It comes with a nice carrying case too.

Great tripod

This tripod looks good, very easy to carry around. I have been working in the photography industry for more than 32 years. I have used so many different brands of tripods I do have some heavy duty tripods but those are not easy to carry around. I was looking for a strong and lightweight tripod without paying fortune. I found this one in my price range. I have only used it for few times and I think it will not last very long . When I opened the tripod to it’s full height and attached my camera to it. I noticed the legs of the tripod were having a little bit of bow . That is not a good sign . The tripod company claims that the tripod can carry up to 12 kg weight. I am only using a Canon 5D Mk iv with 70-200 f2.8LIS Lens. And that won’t even add up to 5kg . I will see how long it last and may will update my review in future. If you are going to use this tripod for lightweight camera then this isn’t too bad . It comes with a nice carry bag as well and gives you a reasonable working height. Pan and tilt is nice and smooth.

Pans and tilts very smoothly, good value

Just a joy to use and have

What seemed a bargain for a lightweight tripod now feels like a waste of money. Fluid head works well, used on first day for low angle shots, so i used only 2 out of 4 height leg segments. On 2nd day i wanted to bring the tripod to maximum height and one of the clamps from 4th segment fell off, and so did the rubber plug at the end of this broken leg. stays in the car boot ever since, i look at it and see 90 quid going down the drain.

Looks and feels professional. I've not used it as a monopod as I have a separate one of those, but I do use it with an extender arm which means I can video from a height.

It is exactly like in description. I have it for 2 years and happy with it.

Muy buen trípode, además de estar muy bien la relación calidad precio, estaba en la duda de un Manfrotto o este de la casa Coman, me decidí porque se puede usar como monopie y además se puede invertir para hacer fotos, pesa poco y es muy estable, y tiene pocas manecillas y es muy fácil e intuitivo de manejar, lo recomiendo 100 %, y la entrega fue en el plazo acordado. Excelente y mis 5 estrellas.

Ce trépied convient parfaitement à ma caméra JVC-JY HM360E. Rapport qualité/prix, c'est une très bonne affaire. Je recommande l'achat de cet article.

Devo dire che a prima vista questo cavalletto mi ha stupito positivamente. La costruzione appare solida e ben progettata. Il sistema per trasformarlo in un monopiede, peraltro molto alto, è semplice e rapido. La testa è ciò che più mi sorprende: fluida e precisa. Incredibile per un prezzo così conveniente! Vedremo nel tempo la consistenza. Promosso a pieni voti.

J'ai commandé ce trépied relativement cher pour faire des photos et vidéos avec mon Bridge à zoom x50. Il était indispensable pour les vidéos que les mouvements de rotation et d'inclinaison soient fluides, sans à-coups. C'est bien le cas. Par ailleurs, je voulais un système assez résistant. Ce trépied paraît très solide, il est aussi suffisamment lourd pour que l'on puisse faire tourner et incliner l'appareil avec le levier sans que le trépied ne bouge. On peut aussi y accrocher un poids. Le montage rapide de la plaque de support de l'appareil est aussi très pratique et très efficace. La fonction monopode de l'un des pieds est très pratique en cas de besoin. Deux petits reproches: 1. le déploiement des pieds télescopiques coince un peu en début de course, mais rien de rédhibitoire, je pense que cela va s'atténuer avec le temps. 2. lorsque l'on immobilise l'inclinaison, cela modifie légèrement le réglage dans la direction ou on tourne pour serrer et à 50x, c'est gênant. Avec un peu d'habitude, je pense pouvoir anticiper. on peut aussi serrer très progressivement en compensant au fur et à mesure avant que le serrage empêche tout mouvement. En conclusion, je trouve que le rapport qualité/prix est très bon.

Tras devolver el que venía con el monopode malo, solicitar devolución y volver a comprar este llegó bien, hasta el momento todo bien.
