Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Slik Tripod with 3-Way Panhead
Customer Review: Low price, quality to match
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this product for free as part of a camera promotion. I wouldn't dream of using it for my camera, but I use it to hold my off-camera flash, and it works fine for that, though the head is poorly-built and wearing out quickly. I expect before long I'll have to replace the head because it will no longer lock (I'll probably just get a new tripod like this).
If you want to support a very light point and shoot camera occasionally, this might be okay. If you want to support any type of single-lens reflex (interchangeable-lens) camera, or even to use a heavier point and shoot, I'd get a better tripod. The Velbon Maxi tripods or the Bogen 3001 would be much more satisfactory (and cost more, of course).
Customer Review: Very stable Tripod
Summary: 4 Stars
A very stable tripod for the dollar. Nice adjustable tripod to even some very unusal positions! A little on the bulky side for long day trips, like to the zoo. Would actually go for the monopod, lighter, more compact, you just need a little balance control. Overall great product for short walking tours. Tiring to lug around with other camera equipement. But great value for the price.
update: after several outings using tripod must report that it is heavy and akward to lug around. A couple of trips to the zoo carring also a camera bag with slr camera. It is very stable and of good quality but for travel or for trips with alot of movement I suggest a small light weight monopod.
Customer Review: Operational height range: 58 5/8" to 59 1/2"?
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have the tripod but considering to buy one. However, the description of operational height range of 58 5/8" to 59 1/2" sounds very strange to me. If the operational height range was something like between 28 5/8" to 59 1/2" as other tripods do, then it would be good. Else, the usable height of this tripod is too limited, limted to about only one inch range as described on the Amazon web site.
I check 4-5 different web sites such as buy.com, etc., and they all indicate the same operational height range. But I still can't believe it. Can any user verify this? Thanks!
Customer Review: Great price /great quality
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me say that SLK is verry respected in the tripod field. And the SDV-20 is no different. After checking out all the other tripods on Amazon, this is the best combonation of price and quality. It is made with light but strong materials. With the leg extensions, the quick release mount, and 3 way panhead; it has all the right features (except maybe a bubble level & travel case). Believe me you won't be dissapointed wether your using a digital still or a camcorder this is a great tripod.Customer Review: Great Tripod
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tripod. I have never used a tripod before so I have nothing to compare it to. But I unlike some of the other reviews have mentioned, I have found no poor material quality. This tripod is very light in weight and easy to open and close up. I can change camera position very easily and take the camera off the tripod with just a flip of a switch. I highly recommend this tripod.
