No big worries, though, you're under budget enough that you can just put a more-suitable head on there if the pistolley one doesn't work for everything. I'm skeptical of those pistol-grip ballheads cause they make big levers like when you go vertical, but they might be good for quicker horizontal work. When I get it, I'll put it through it's paces & let you know my impressions.Ĭool, at least as far as the legs go: actually, finishes and a couple details aside, those look just like the big Amvona legs I've got. My old Heiwa tripod has some heft to it too, so that's not a big deal for me. It might be a little heavy at 10 lbs., but to me, stability and durability are more important than weight.

Here it is:Ī: Ravelli APGL4 New Professional Tripod with Adjustable Pistol Grip Head and Heavy Duty Carry Bag: Camera & Photo It looks like an awful lot of bang for the buck.
I went with the Ravelli APGL4 from Amazon for $80. One option for the long lenses and astro might be the surveyor's tripod (They apparently run about fifty bucks) and the rest on a good-sized budget head of some kind.Īctually, I just bought one. )ĭefinitely a nice tripod for flexibility, there's even a fitting on a leg or two that you can attach a head to and use for whatever purpose: (like extending that leg out straight and putting it on a table to make a fair copy setup. I'm not sure if they're hard to find these days. Did always think those were clever, if not inherently anti-twistey for long lenses, (though better than you'd think) (I've actually still got a couple: when I lost my camera support cache I had a couple in my bag. Hrm, I wonder if that pistol grip head takes the same quick-release posts.
I can heartily recommend this tripod, but I can't compare it to others at or near the price point. (I do add a heavy weight to the extended rear leg to ensure it doesn't tip over). I have even shortened up two legs to make it lean to the side for use as a copy stand. It can make very unusual leg configurations to accomodate almost any situation. It was marketed as a U212AF with their pistol grip ball head instead of a typical pan/tilt head.( Slik AF-2100 Pistol Grip Head (Quick Release) 618-210 B&H Photo ). I have a Slik U212 that I bought ages ago.
