This tripod also comes with a carrying bag.
Slik 700dx pro#
I think it is called the Pro 800, an excellent option for someone not liking a pan head on this unit. There is a heavy duty Ball head that would match this tripod pefectly and also uses the same quick release system. I was woried that the camera could possibly slip and twist in the portrait position, but it seems to hold very secure once locked in. The camer can be mounted onto the head at any position and locked in place. This tripod also uses a new quick plate release system by Slik that is a round disk.
The center column unscrew quickly to half it's size thus allowing the tripod to get down to about 15" off the ground with camera on top. No problem or need to get a shorter column. The legs spread out independantly and fully spread out brings the tripod very low, to the point that only the center column keeps it from getting lower. The sturdy pan head has two bubble levels. quick release levers make setting up and taking down a quick and simple chore. But if I needed the extra height, it's there. The tripod is so tall that i never have to extened the center column giving me a very stable support for the camera. You would have to pay more than twice the amount for a similiar size system. Good for it's size but even a bit more money than the Slik.Īdoramas own brand seemed very good, but in the same price range there were only small tripods available. Center column would have to be fully extended to achieve eye level (I'm 5' 11") and set up like that is not very stable. I looked at a few Bogens, Davis/ Sanford, and adoramas own brand of Carbon fiber tripods.Ī Bogen 3021 was not a bad tripod, but it's size was limited. I had the salesman send up several different tripods for comparison, and nothing even close to this price range could compare. the build and quality is sound and steady. I need a step stool to see through the view finder. I'm not certain of the specks, but fully extended with center column all the way up I believe the camera would be 7ft off the ground. It is not all that bulky closed, but open it up all the way and it's a monster. Having bought a new and heavier DSLR and also planning to use a Nodalninja Panorama head on it, I needed something more robust than the Able 300.Īfter opening it up and setting it up in the store, I was amazed at how huge this thing is. I had the Slik Able 300 and liked the build quality of it, so I was confident in the Slik name to give me a quality tripod. It provides max stability all the way through. I decided to go to Adorama camera and see the unit for myself and also compare it to other tripods. The Slik Pro 700 DX tripod is our heavy duty tripod that is great for the hunter and precision marksman alike. I read alot of rebiews about this tripod on.
