The tripod can I recommend the price. It has a good price / performance ratio. Important for me, the stand must not wobble, the joints, as in some cheap models may not wobble. I think that everything has been taken into account in the model. It has a good camcorder support plate, it is very stable and as I said, nothing wobbles at the joints thanks to damper. The weight is ok and for me not to schwer.So I take it with well and not let it at home. All in all, a model that could be quiet lane in the upscale class.
