Inexpensive "hobby tripod"

The DV-7000 Tripod with PH-368 head I bought for me rather than experiment for professional work. The tip has given me an acquaintance and slammed I finally when I saw the price of a little over 100 euros.
The unit arrived a few days later and immediately made a good impression on me.
The stand is well made and is very stable. It is nevertheless easy to understand and easy to transport, weighing 3.3 kg, especially if you buy the matching bag for under 20 euro to do so.
Even if the spider is fully extended and the tripod therefore is the safest position is the camera high enough to all the necessary meaningful shots to do with it.

The really interesting however is the PH-368 head, because this is a fluid head, and he is thus ideal for both horizontal and vertical movement. The head is indeed up to the hilt entirely of plastic, but looks still stable and well finished.
The head is very easy to operate by the attached screws and just the damping can be both horizontal and vertical direction in very finely adjustable whereby various kinds and Schnelligkeiten of pans and camera movements in all directions are possible.
The suspension of the head is for heavier cameras, unfortunately, too weak, so that they forward or backward tilt, if you can not produce exactly the balance, however, this head is probably intended also for smaller and lighter cameras.
What is missing, unfortunately, the head is a ball joint which is why the films makes considerably more difficult to even slightly uneven ground.

All in all, tripod and head a very cheap offer that moviemakers should fully satisfy. The whole thing is easy to use, easy to transport and is, even after repeated use, neither serious problems nor signs of wear on.
