I was in the market for a new tripod as my old one was nowhere near high enough quality and creaked when I moved during filming.
This tripod had a host of favourable reviews so I gave it a go. I'll probably end up repeating everyone else's comments but here goes:
Very solid construction
smooth panning
I particularly like the under head fine tune adjustment to level the head once you've got it close to level by adjusting the legs (if you have a large camcorder this is best done before placing the camcorder as the camcorder can block the view down to the spirit level bubble).
Comes with a decent case and spare handle and quick release plate (very handy as this allows me to leave a plate permanently on each of the camcorders I use)
The quick release plate is a good size and can be changed to suit the two standard tripod bush sizes, there is one downside to a large plate , my JVC camcorder's battery slides down to come off and I have to remove the plate to remove the battery. Also the substantial plate size makes the camcorder look like a toy!
As has been mentioned before by others there are no instructions but assembly is fairly simple.
The bottom line is this tripod is perfect for my needs and combines quality and price in a way that will embarass rival tripods either side of it's price.

Having read the reviews of others who bought this item, I took the plunge. I have expected too much from tripods of ths sort of price in the past and always been disappointed. Not this time! Amongst the audio picked up by one video camera on my latest shoot was my comment of "I'm going to get a decent tripod if it kills me". This was just after I'd experienced the usual jerk and wobble at the start of panning. This unwanted movement also occurred when I touched any of the camera controls whilst rolling and was most noticeable at any zoom magnification. This tripod put a stop to all that. No more wobbly camera quick release shoes, no more play in the pan and tilt mechanism - instead a really beefy feeling piece of kit. Only one thing, although it packs away well into the supplied bag, this is quite a hefty lump so be prepared to get fit if you want to take it cross-country! My advice is get this for video work - its great value and does the job well. I bought this sproduct in conjunction with a dolly Tripod Dolly for Professional Camera/Video/Lighting Very High Quality and its works very well with this item.

I can be short and sweet. For the price this item is excellent. Being an amateur video film maker with semi pro equipment I needed a substantial rock steady tripod with fluid heads and that is what I now have. - the action on the head is very good.
The only down side, if any, is size and weight. This does need to be considered for portability I.E. you would not want to take it on a package holiday say but otherwise I shift everything around in my trusty estate car with ease

A very smooth operating tripod. good value for money and came with spare a plate and handle.
A quality tripod, at a good price - thumbs up.

Wasn't sure about ordering this tripod unseen, but judging by the other reviews I placed an order. In the past I have bought low cost (<£60) tripods and they are always the same... light, easy to carry, but don't last long, and are rubbish for smooth panning. This tripod couldn't be more different. High quality materials, extremely solid consruction, smooth pan and tilt, good quality carry case. All in all, a great purchase. Perhaps a little heavy for lots of mobile work. Don't waste time and money with sub-£100 tripods... and don't blow £300 on one either. Get one of these. Got the dolly too, and the quality of that was better than expected also. NetGadgets supplied both units as described, well packaged and bang on time.
