Very good handling
Quality appearance, quality materials, pleasant haptics
All functions and controls are well thought out and attached to the veracity Place
Excerpt of the feet very practical due to external hinges
Stable crank device - very good fixation with separate screw
Very stable, very soft and smoothly functioning fluid head with sturdy lever
Individual spreading of the legs with fixing by screw - very comfortable
The bearing surface of the quick-release plate is large in size - great
Disadvantages
Initially, the center column has rattled in the connection to the tripod head
Googled with the following result:
Turn the tripod head to the right / left of this is tightened and holds absolute
No manual, you have to plan to come so himself
The knob for fine adjustment for horizontal panning was deadlocked.
I had (previously placed a cloth over this button) make viable him with a water gun.
Hand this button is still difficult to adjust
But once the movement rate set correctly - and then you no longer need it
Neutral
Level available - great - but is placed under the tripod head.
Not quite the "cream of the crop", but in practice, I find, no problem
Compared with the Velbon Sherpa 450R
The DV 7000 is much more stable: the crank, the tripod head, the legs, the struts provide additional stability MittelsäuleDie
The DV 7000 is about 1 kg of the Sherpa 450R
Operation of the tripod head, I found the DV 7000 practical (eg presetting the focus / or. Leichtängigkeit)
The bearing surface of the quick-release plate is considerably larger in size when DV 7000
The indidivuelle spreading the legs when DV 7000 is a great practical advantage
With whom stability is the top priority, which is clearly better served with the DV 7000.
For air travel, and hiking is the Sherpa 450R first choice.
And there was also quite specifically constructed.
Addendum to the DV 7000 on November 8, 2014
After using a Bresser Messier MC 127/1900 with a weight of 3.5 kg (the maximum load capacity specified in dieem product by the manufacturer 4.5 kg), I note:
The lock does not keep clean.
If I have a motive IMN sight, the image slips after locking down, although only a few mm,
but at 100 - 200 times magnification I see the moon just then only half.
While I can adjust precisely, but not lock exactly.
In this price range should not happen something actually.
This is absolutely annoying. Therefore, I prefer smooth from 2 points.
