Kokemukset ja arvostelut

I bought this in aug15 used it loads already I've used it to do sweeping panoramics, the head is spinning smooth flowing the pictures come out perfect every time. I've also used it to do slow exposure photos of waterfalls 'brilliant' although i had to take the remote off the tripod to shoot (slow exposure) as im a bit heavy handed and moved the tripod just enough to create blur when touching the shoot button.

Another great feature is the level bubble its in the perfect place, easy to see & use. I just use the legs to level is up by setting the tripod up and adjusting one leg at a time to suit. Easy with the 3 quick release clips on each leg. Overall great tripod with great features and build quality.

I have quite a number of tripods, most of which are much heavier than the VPR1, but I wanted to get this tripod for 3 reasons:

1. Steady up my pan / zoom as some of my footage is quite jerky
2. The built in remote control.
3. New Camera - Sony FDR-AX100
   
   

What I like:

Compactness

Ease of assembly

Standard (quick release) camera base plate

Lightweight

Build - Solid

Comes with it own sturdy carrying bag

Pan and Tilt control (ability to set this to your liking and make very smooth movements)

Remote Control is detachable, so I carry it in my camera bag (this is great as I broke a RC before in the boot of my car)

All remote control functions

What I felt was omitted:

Because the tripod is so lightweight, I felt that a hook to hold my camera bag would have been a nice addition, I still managed to strap my bag to the tripod which has helped me ground the tripod and a solid base. The tripod never budged while the bag was in place.

In use:

No problems whatsoever, it worked much better than I expected. I'm delighted to see the smoothness of my footage and the remote works seamlessly without having to think about it!

The only word of caution I would give prospective buyers is:

Check the weight of your camera/camcorder to ensure it's not to heavy for this tripod. The VPR1 has a big sister but its around 5 times the price!

Nice product - Happy out!
