NEEWER 79 inch Camera Tripod Monopod with Center Column and Ball Head Aluminum, Arca Type QR Plate, Bag, Horizontal Tripod Overhead Camera Mount for DSLR Camera, Video Camcorder, Max Load: 33lb

This is a very well-constructed medium-weight tripod with metal parts where it counts. It's quite sturdy and a useful addition to the video/audio/photo studio setting (the primary use cases for my purposes). The legs are easy to adjust and stable. The design is multi-functional, quite usable for holding the various Sony cameras I have (e.g., A7RV, A7IV, A7III, A7RII, RX100VII) and studio lights or flashes. If using the center bar horizontalyl, it would be a good idea to use a "sandbag" or weight using the supplied or your own carabiner and position the horizontal bar in line with one of the tripod legs to reinforce stability. As with any tripod that can fully extend, you'll want to be thoughtfully careful with the size lens attached to the camera. This tripod is most suitable for moderate telephoto lenses - I have other, much heavier tripods for mounting very large gear on. As to the removeable tripod leg that can double as a monopod - for me that monopod's for lighter-duty circumstances. It wouldn't be my first choice for serious trekking (for that kind of purpose). The included ball head is versatile and applicable across a wide range of situations. Be sure to tighten it well to the tripod base so that it doesn't work loose if doing a lot of panning (this holds true for most ball heads). I have available several other kinds of heads that I can easily swap on to this tripod (e.g., fluid video head with handle). With the right mount it would be excellent for holding a phone or tablet, as well. All in all, this a very useable well-made tripod and a terrific bargain at the going price as of August 20205. Highly recommended. It would be hard to find a better offering at this price point.

Love this tripod. Solid, stable, love that you can adjust it so many ways. My camera feels safe on it. Good price and quality. Happy with this tripod and I’m as lucky as they come.

Neewer is normally a last resort or cheap option purchase for me. This, however, is no joke. It is stable, sturdy, and does its job perfectly. Maybe a little heavy, but I use it as a permanent mount in my podcast/video space. No regerts…er…regrets.

This tripod is a beast! It's really heavy, but I use it ondoors so the weight isn't an issue for me. It's super sturdy and I love that it can be used traditionally and with the arm out. It does smooth panaroma from the arm and from the tripod head itself. With the tilt on the arm you can get your camera into almost any position imaginable. The bubble levels are a nice touch. I don't use it as a monopod, but like the option if I ever go wild. But minus a star for the tripod head grips on the knobs, and knob positioning. The grips on the knobs slipped and came off after the first use. It's not a deal breaker but it is frustrating. The other frustrating thing is the positioning of the knob that tightens the camera to the tripod head. If you're trying to use it with the camera positioned in that groove of the ball head (like it shows in the main image on the product page), it hits against the base of the tripod head and you have to reposition it to get the camera off. It also stops the head from becoming completely level at that angle. I was hoping to use this with the camera at the end of the arm sitting up like that but it won't work for what I was hoping to do. It's fine enough to just use it as a traditional tripod at that angle, but I was hoping it would work more like the picture shows. It is excellent for overhead shots and flat lays, though, which is the best part about it. My only regret is not getting the 79" one. More height for the overhead shots would have been nice. However, the tripod head comes off and can be attached to a c-stand, so that's pretty cool!

Very well made tripod with great flexibility and durability. Worth every penny!

Great and stable tripod with a boom. This is Tripod is well-built. I attached a homemade PDR light for work on hail dents; this tripod makes my light fully adjustable and extending over the car. On the attachment point near the top of the tripod, I attached a 5 lb weight for further stability due to the weight of the light being extended by the boom; the light weighs about 3.5 lbs. I also used a bottle of water attached to the end of the boom as a counter weight when making a long extension. The Tripod allows my light to be fully adjustable and the light stays where put without shaking. Thanks to this Tripod, light adjustments are easily made.

Great tripod!

This is what I was looking for in a camera tripod. It is very sturdy and adjustable. It can adjust to take horizontal photos near the ground or overhead shots from the max extension of the legs or eye level shots with the legs and center post extended. The ball swivel is large and locks solidly. It seems very well built and I expect it to last a very long time. The QR plate is small and can stay of the camera without getting in the way for handheld shots. The carrying bag is padded and good enough for my purposes. It is a little heavy and big for long distance backpacking but that's not what I bought it for. I wanted a sturdy, versatile tripod that I could carry on short hikes if needed but on longer hikes I just shoot handheld. It is also a little annoying that you can start to unscrew the head when you pan, but once you learn to avoid this it's OK.

Guys... this tripod is DOPE AF !! It's a heavy tripod so be aware it may take a toll on you if you're carrying it around all day. Everything is simple to use an it even includes a boom arm for vertical filming. The build quality is extremely robust and brilliant - the top of the tripod already has a swivel head, however there are better options out there for cheaper pricing. This tripod gets pretty tall too !! I couldn t believe how far it would reach. I think this is offically the best tripod for serious content creation. It honestly has ALL the bells and whistels !

Excellent choice if you need a solid, stable and sturdy tripod with the best usability features. Every bit as sturdy as my Manfrotto and very tall. Great for macro work too. May well be the best tripod for the price that i've every purchased.

I've been really impressed with this tripod. It's extremely solid, holds my DSLR with no issues, and feels just as sturdy as many of the more expensive brands I've used. The adjustments are smooth, it's easy to lock everything securely in place, and the range of movement is excellent. I especially like being able to position the camera for overhead shots, which has been really useful. The height is great, the build quality feels excellent, and overall it's a fantastic tripod for the price. I'd definitely recommend it.

Equipement professionnelle bonne qualité

I recently purchased the Neewer 360 Degree Rotatable Tripod Ball Head and it has been a great addition to my photography gear. The ball head is well-built and feels sturdy, making it easy to adjust and get the perfect angle for my shots. You can position your camera at a higher angle and capture detailed shots of your subject from above. This can be particularly useful for product photography, food photography, or any situation where you want to showcase the details of your subject from a unique angle. While it may not have some of the advanced features that more expensive brands offer, such as built-in levelers or carbon fiber construction, the Neewer tripod head provides excellent value for the price. Comparing it to more expensive tripod brands, I find that the Neewer tripod offers similar performance and functionality at a fraction of the cost. It's an excellent choice for photographers who are just starting out or who don't want to spend a lot of money on expensive gear.
