 Awesome Tripod of Top quality |
| Review Date: May 3, 2008 |
| Reviewer: T. ly, |
After purchasing this tripod, I had a bit of buyer's remorse. This was because I started looking at the 700DX and thought that might be a better option. BUT...after receiving this tripod, all my doubts vanished.
The tripod felt very solid when I picked it up. The construction is strong yet very manageable in terms of weight. I wanted a good stable tripod for my Nikon D80, zoom lens and flash - mounted. This is the one!
All the adjustment levers and nobs are very well constructed, feels solid and works as it should. The panning head with the dual handles are positioned to make fine controlled adjustments with the camera mounted. The foam on the 3 legs are nice for handling. The clips to unlock the legs to bring the tripod down to the lowest level for low-to-the-ground shot are an ingenius, yet simple design.
Overall, I can't seem to find a fault with this tripod. For the price and quality...it's a no-brainer. If it came with a carrying bag...that would make it a complete success. |
SLIK 400DX Tripod Review by an owner that has had it over 2 yrs.

Three reasons to buy this product:
1) Portrait type photos will be sharper
2) Shooting landscapes at a distance with a zoom will be crystal clear.
3) You'll look cool with a good tripod! LOL
MY REVIEW: I've owned my SLIK for 2 years and it has been used for thousands of pictures. It's extremely sturdy and the locks and controls work perfectly still. I use the original head, a manfrotto head, and a custom head (very heavy) for 360 degree panoramic shots - and the tripod is still in perfect shape.
Does everyone need a tripod of this quality? If you want to drastically improve your photo capabilities, YES YOU DO. And don't forget that you'll look cool with a good tripod!

Great Tripod - Although I'm not Happy With It
|
| Review Date: May 20, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Michelle Roach, |
| I gave a five star review because it is great for what the tripod was intended for. I wanted to use it for videography and am not happy with it because I didn't realize that I wanted smooth movements from start to finish during pans and tilts - well I did realize that I wanted that -but I didn't realize that I needed a fluid film head to achieve that effect. So I ended up spending $150 + on a different tripod head and a converter screw ($10) that will allow my new tripod head to fit on this tripod. I am keeping the product instead of returning it because I really like the tripod legs - they are super sturdy, and built to last. This tripod will be great for you if you are doing home videos, still photography (although you may want to buy a level to mount on your camera), or locked-down videography. However, if you want to do fluid-movement - you can take my route and buy this tripods legs and a different head.. or just invest in a fluid tripod made for film...... I feel silly for making the initial mistake, but thought I'd share in case anyone else was about to do the same. Again, I gave it 5 stars because it really is a great tripod for its own purpose. |
Great Deal
