Velbon M47 Tripod with Fluid Video Head - Black

I recommended this if you're just starting out with video, or need a budget tripod while doing moving shots.It isn't the most sturdy but it'll hold your camera up fine unless it is knocked.Pros:Works well with consumer camcorders, or cameras up to crop sensor or the lighter DSLRs.Smooth movement.Better build quality than other cheap tripods, so will last longer.Quick release plate is small enough to easily fit 323 quick release plate clones on it.Folds down to be very compact. Good for travelling.Legs and stem are made of metal.Cons:Wouldn't take alot of force to get knocked over if fully extended.Paint isn't the most durable, but is fine for light use.Top of leg mounts are made of plastic.

The tripod is a lot smaller that looks, specifically the head. Can’t hold a decent dslr, the box suggests it’s for a mini camcorder and can only hold up to 1.5k! Doesn’t give this info on here! Be good for phones, small digital cameras. No good for anything near a professional level camera.

Good quality and sturdy for light weight cameras. I’ve used it wit Leica V-Lux for stills and Panasonic video camera WXF990 for panning without any problems. Don’t expect it to be sturdy enough for DSLR with long telephoto lenses.

Very poor quality. The legs fell apart after two weeks of very light use.

I use this with the Canon HF G40 camcorder and it is a great match for the camcorder.The tripod is sufficiently sturdy to provide decent support for that kind of camcorder and reasonably smooth when reframing a shot.It isn't a smooth as a professional tripod but it is much cheaper (and much lighter).Highly recommended.
