Editorial Review:
This feature-packed tripod provides the ultimate in remote camcorder operation. You can adjust your zoom speed with a simple tilt of a lever and use the Guide Frame feature to help align and frame your shots. The oil fluid head provides the smoothest pans and tilts possible. Adjusts from 24 3/4" to 65 3/4".

Rating:  - Sony VCT 80AV an excellent value
I bought this unit since I recently purchased a HDR SR11 hard drive camcorder. My wife and I spend a lot of time taking video of horses in horse shows.

But for my Sony HC7 HDV video camera, Sony's VCT-80AV tripod is perfect. The legs are much sturdier than a lightweight consumer tripod, but it doesn't sacrifice lightness and ... Read More
