Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am not a professional photographer, more like serious part time amateur. I have a Canon S3 and find it is perfect for my level of shooting (also have a Canon T70 with multiple lenses and Panasonic G320 digital video that I use on tripod, but I prefer the S3). Based on internet reviews, I ordered the Slik Pro 700 Dx with the 800 Ball Head. First, the tripod is massive! It is really made for much larger cameras than mine, too heavy to lug around while playing tourist. Having said that, I now do not want to take pictures without it. I am 6'2", and this thing easily rises over my head. It is solid and stable, and well made. Each leg is independently adjustable for height and angle. I can hang on this thing for shooting without worry. Center column locks with a twist ring, which I find to be much better than a geared column. The tripod comes with sponge like grips not shown in the picture that make it very comfortable to use. The round tubes are grooved to prevent twist, which adds to the stability. Solid rubber feet on the ends. Open with camera mounted, it does not feel heavy, and the included travel bag make carrying it easy enough for field trips. Matched with the 800 Ball Head, it makes a great tripod. I only regret having used a cheap tripod for so long before stepping to the real thing.

SLIK�s exclusive A.M.T. super titanium alloy legs make the PRO 700 DX tripod rock steady yet lighter than it looks. The A. M. T. alloy has a 40% greater strength to weight ration than standard aluminum, meaning the legs are lighter weight yet stronger than the standard metal used in most of today�s tripods. Capable of handling the weight of large format (4x5) field cameras or heavy, long telephoto lenses, The PRO 700 DX offer professional photographers and advanced amateurs the strength and stability they need while its size, and the use of A. M. T. alloy, make it lighter weight and more portable than THE PROFESSIONAL series.A tripod should be easy to use, so that that you spend more time concentrating on your photography than you do your equipment. The PRO 700 DX makes setting up easy with secure yet fast speed release leg locks, gearless center column, and 3 position adjustable angle leg locks for easy set up on uneven ground or steps. The PRO 700 DX center column is actually two threaded pieces that unscrew to convert the top piece to a short column. This combined with the adjustable leg angle locks allows the tripod to be lowered to just 15 inches for very low angle or macro photography in the field.
