NEEWER Basic 74" Video Tripod with Fluid Head , Metal Camera Tripod with Smooth Friction Damping, Mid Level Spreader, Quick Release Plate Compatible with Manfrotto 501, Max Load 17.6lb, TP37

A high-quality, professional-looking, smooth-moving, TALL easy-to-use tripod that works well with my Panasonic HC-X20 video camera. I'm able to secure my camera with two different-sized bolts rather than one. There are swiveling half rings at each bolt head to tighten the bolts, so coins/quarters are no longer required: NICE! There is some spring-loaded (I guess) action in the head that makes the camera point in unexpected, unintended directions, but I guess/hope it's something I will get used to, figure out how to use, and come to l❤️ve.I will update this review if any issues rear their ugly heads 👹 or if want to praise Neewer even more 😁

I found it quite stable when recording my videos. It's easy to use and made of quality material. It's made of sturdy metal, with sturdy legs and a triangular mid-spreader that gives it great stability. It supports up to 17.6 pounds, which is perfect for DSLR cameras, camcorders, and even setups with telephoto lenses.The fluid head allows for 360° panning and a -70°/+90° tilt, providing smooth transitions in video. Additionally, the bubble level helps achieve perfect alignment.Its foldable design, along with the included carrying bag, allows me to take it anywhere.It comes with 1/4" and 3/8" screws, making it compatible with a wide variety of cameras and accessories, such as mirrorless cameras, sliders, and video rigs.The quick-lock QR system makes it easy to attach and detach the camera in seconds, saving time and effort.It's an incredible option for videographers and photographers.

Very solid! It's easy to adjust/tilt and rotate. Great tripod. I got this to use with my binoculars. It is rather heavy though.

The media could not be loaded. After reading reviews, I went with the TP37 as the TP-M200 had complaints about clunky fluid head action. I'm happy to report that the head issue is much better and the 37 is buttery smooth both horizontally and vertically. The tripod in general is excellent and very sturdy but if you NEED smooth panning, go with the 37- it's a physically different fluid head design.Side note, the locating pin in the mount is removable which is an awesome feature in case you're worried about it scratching up your camera body like I was. Pic attached shows it removed.Excellent tripod and design and fantastic value. I'll update if I experience any issues with it, including manufacturer response, but so far so good.

When it arrived the box was a bit beaten up. One of the leg clips was already broken and the bag had a hole in it. Also, one leg has a small dent but it doesn't appear to affect operation so far.I've emailed Neewer asking for replacements and hopefully, they'll take care of it with no hassle.UPDATE: Neewer responded to my email quickly and sent me replacement parts with no hesitation. I had originally given only 3 stars but I'm changing that to 4 because of the good customer service experience. I am now happy with my purchase.

I was very impressed by this tripod because of how sturdy it actually is. I know neewer is the company that makes things at a more affordable level which in most cases tends to lower in quality to achieve this but this tripod is it! It is nice and heavy, highly adjustable and it seems like it can hold heavier camera set ups with ease. I will be buying more for my studio.

This tripod is a little bulky, but extremely stable and adjustable. I am very impressed with the overall quality, it compares well to Leofoto and similar options at a fraction of the price. I like the quick detach baseplate that screws onto my spotting scope. Also, the adjustable arm is a nice touch.

I was pleasantly surprised by this tripod. I initially expected it to be cheap, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s made entirely of sturdy metal and works perfectly with my Seestar S50. The tripod allows me to adjust the angle easily, making it ideal for placing the Seestar in EQ mode. The sliding plate features both 3/8" and 1/4" threads, and there’s a handy rubber grommet at the end that lets you remove the 1/4" thread when needed.The tripod pans 360 degrees very smoothly. One detail that’s often overlooked is the cone-shaped stem located at the center underneath. Be sure to loosen it to level out the upper half. Pay close attention to the bubble level, and rotate the tripod 360 degrees to ensure it’s fully leveled—otherwise, it could throw off your Seestar's alignment.
