The ProVista combined with the FM18 Fluid Video Head provides rigid support for those who need strength more than versatility in height options. It assembles to its working height very quickly thanks to a 75mm claw ball and twist locks which require just half a rotation.

A great tripod - almost

"This product was purchased primarily for video work and was everything I had hoped it would be - except for one major flaw that really should be addressed by the manufacturer.

5.0

"I use this tripod with my Canon XL-2 filming wedding videos, short films etc. The tripod gives tight, smooth pans and tilts and is very stable. The XL-2 is front heavy because the image stabilization is in the lens, which requires a strong tripod to not have jitter when panning/tilting. This is defi …" Read Full Review »

"After I recieved this Tripod I set it up and began to look at the it more closely. The first thing I noticed is that it has 3 section legs, which are sturdy and stable.

"So professional for being under $200. The dolly is great even though you cant get steady shots with it, but if your filming a wedding for instance and you need to move the camera 6 feet to the left, you can just slide it over and its good to go. "
