 Very useful and solidly built October 17, 2004

I orderd this tripod instead of the taller ones as the 57" height has proven to cover most, if not all, of the situations I would need it for. This tripod covers two of the most important characteristics of a good support, as it is very stable and solidly built, and it is also lightweight and easy to carry. The included carrying case also has a shoulder strap to make it even easier to haul.
The big feature of the Sony tripods which separates it from the generics pieces, are the controls built into the handle of the head. They include play, stop, record, zoom-in, zoom-out, and take a still picture. Having the controls right at your fingertips on the handle makes it infinitely easier to control the camera and still keep a very stable shot with no jitter. I can rotate the camera, and zoom in and out, without any visible motion whatsoever. Sony's innovations and equipment integration is almost always worth the extra cost, and this tripod is no exception. I highly recommend this as the best tripod for any Sony prosumer video cameras.
 Great price for a very good product! February 11, 2003

We keep all our SONY's on one of these. We use them in our Digital Filmmaking workshops and our students love them. We paid $150 a couple of years ago. For the pro-sumer, this is a great buy.

Solidly built, this tripod balances well even when used with the heavier Sony Cybershots like the DSC-R1. The remote shuttle release button helps to further reduce camera shake, which is priceless when taking photos in conditions where camera shake is amplified (high optical zoom, supressed flash, etc).
What surprises me is the fact that the shuttle release button on the remote works exactly the same as any Sony Cybershot : press halfway to focus, and all the way down to capture the shot.
The zooming buttons do not work for the Sony DSC-R1 as the camera has a manual zooming ring, but they should work fine with any other Cybershot that comes with an electronic zoom and of course, an ACC terminal.
Highly recommended.

I purchased this tripod at Circuit City. When I got home, I decided to check the price here at Amazon.com and found it to be a total of 38.18 cheaper than Circuit City. I had already hooked up both my DSC-F828 still cam and my DCR-HC20 to it, and it worked like a charm. So I packed it back in the box and returned it... got home and ordered it from Amazon. I have yet to receive the product, but I already know I like it. Also love the shoulder strap and the fact that the tripod doesn't feel like it's going to fall over under the weight of my F828.
Great tripod, Great price, Go Amazon July 23, 2005

Great tripod from Sony. Remote control in handle works great, very sophisticated yet simple. I had a Vivitar tripod but it is not worthy and decided to stick to Sony (I own a TRV-70 Sony camcorder and I am buying a Sony digital camera Cybershot DSCH1 also from Amazon). When I received the box, it had an oppening, you could stick your hand inside! But I was glad that Amazon warns you in respect: "This item may be delivered in the manufacturer's original packaging, which could reveal the contents of the box". Everything in place. I want to give another star to Amazon for the speedy delivery although I ordered under Free Super Saver Shipping on the night of July 17th. Thought it would take forever but was surprised on the morning 22nd. In 5 days (with free shipping) I had it on my hands! Go Amazon
