NEEWER 72 inch Camera Tripod Monopod with Center Column and Ball Head Aluminum, Arca Type QR Plate, Bag, Horizontal Tripod Overhead Camera Mount for DSLR Camera, Video Camcorder, Max Load: 33lb

Excellent choice if you need a solid, stable and sturdy tripod with the best usability features. Every bit as sturdy as my Manfrotto and very tall. Great for macro work too. May well be the best tripod for the price that i've every purchased.

I needed to replace my 40 year old tripod I use with my SLR Camera. Whilst this Neewer modle is not as light as my old tripod, it has good adjustments and seems quite robust. It also has additional and very useful features including the ability to hang the camera out safely for vertical shots away from the legs. It also comes with a useful bag to tote it around. It may not be the best tripod in terms of total features, however it seems to be well made and it does everthing I need it for at a reasonable price point.

Recently purchased this tripod as i wanted a transverse centre column for getting close for macro shots and its fantastic. The tripod is easily the best made and most reassuringly sturdy tripod i own, that said its also the heaviest and its noticably heavier. Im disabled so i use a mobility scooter to get out with my camera and with the extra weight of this tripod it makes my scooter performance rather sluggish and zips through the battery that much quicker reducing the time i can be out. The weight is literally the only con i have for this as its contructions, quality and feel are all top notch.

Prior to this tripod I had a very light plastic type but as my needs changed it was not up to the job, this one is a very robust one with a method that you can add a weight to it too help stabilise it if you're out and about in a area that would require that, the tripod is engineered so you can position the camera in a abundance of positions and heights etc., I'm looking forward to when I can get out and about more trying it out.

Managed to get one of these “used - like new” with the Amazon saving thing. Got around 50% off!!! All I can say is what a bargain. There is no issues with it at all. If it’s been used before, you can hardly tell, but it’s only going to get used again and I can’t believe it was so cheap for such little usage. The tripod itself is perfect for what I need and has such a good build quality I’m surprised. I’ve used tripods before but never owned one and this is incredible. Strong, versatile and can be folded down to a very small size and comes with a handy carry bag too. What more could you want!?

Great tripod, comes with a tidy bag for carrying, great functionality, with the addition of the top section being able to work horizontally is a real asset when using the macro lens as well as many other situation. Its had good stability on all sorts of ground. It has a good reach and simple to set up. Would very much recommend.

The build quality is good, but it’s very impractical to use. Opening each leg takes time because you have to balance it constantly. Unlike other tripods where you extend the legs and they automatically open to a set position, this one requires you to open each leg individually and make sure they’re all aligned at the same height. The same issue applies when extending the legs, you have to adjust each section separately. Overall, it’s not a practical tripod for regular use.

Quite heavy though sturdy. Pay attention to the tripods head I used it extensively with the detachable led as a monopod which worked well, however after prolonged use the threads in the tripod head gave way, luckily I noticed this & avoided a potential accident which would have damaged attached camera & lens
