Great intermediate tripod for video, January 31, 2012 By  James J. Kathrein "Manic Gamer" (Everywhere) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Davis & Sanford ProVista 7518 Tripod and Head, 75 Video Tripod With FM-18 Fluid Head. - Bundle - with Universal Tripod Dolly (Head Supports up to 18 lbs., Tripods 25 lbs., extends 28" - 64") (Electronics) I bought this because of the price and I have to say I am impressed. You defiantly need to break the tripod in it will be stiff for quite a few days shooting. I sat there for hours breaking it in. Smooth movement reliable. Just wished the handles where a little longer. Very sturdy built and am very pleased. I give it 3 stars because the long break in time required and the locking mechanism is the older single stage style that you cannot make a full turn on the tilt brake because it hits the handle attachment block. Thats just carless engineering. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comment
