 Great - for a lighter weight camera |
| Review Date: August 7, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Guillermo Izquierdo, Buffalo, NY USA |
| Let me begin by stating that I returned this product and purchased instead the 503HDV model. I had bought for my Canon XH-A1, which according to the specs, the 701 should have been able to handle it. (For this reason alone I did not give it 5 stars.) However, the weight seemed to be too much and when I added the wide angle lens, it really suffered. Of course, some people would also would want to add other items, such as a bigger battery or microphone. I happen to own a Canon HV30 as well. Using that camera, it was great. The 755XBK is a very well built tripod, which is ideal if, like me, are using this to film in situations where you need to get the camera above the crowd. |
