Title: vertical motion is not smooth
Product review: Just purchased this model and while the panning motion is nice and smooth the vertical motion is not. I use it with a five lb. spotting scope and often lose moving objects due to it's excessively jerky vertical motion. I called the manufacturer and they openly admitted that it's just not that smooth. Look elsewhere if you want a tripod that has a smooth motion. Other than that it's a well made sturdy tripod, however for over $100 I cannot recommend it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
