Negative Positive
Title: This is the real entry-point for the amateur videographer.
Review: Don't waste your time or money on those cheaper tripods if you're looking to make quality video, even if you're on a budget. Get a Manfrotto head and a manfrotto tripod. Fluid pans, fluid tilts, and built to last. I tried to get away with highly rated cheap tripods and heads. There is no substitute for true fluid heads, and just avoiding the headaches of broken clips, or loose clips, or bending legs, or lack of stability hook. This has all the features an amateur videographer needs in the quality (s)he needs it. This is my primary, I shoot DLSR with light and mic and I have no doubt's this can hold it up. I intend to buy another for my next camera as well. For larger video cameras like XL- series you might want to move up to the 055XPROB, or if you need to raise a camera above people's heads.
