I've been using Velbon for 15 years. I shoot concerts, weddings, church services, graduations, you name it. from Bhphotovideo.com Before I found this Velbon, I bought a Manfrotto tripod kit for almost 3x the cost. I wish I had found this tripod first. from Amazon.com However, after six months (about 5 uses), an internal plastic part broke on a leg clamp. Now it is non-functional. Off to the company website: After two layers of company's deep (Velbon, and HakubaUSA), I find a service page. Email using the provided link. from Amazon.com I went from a $45 most expensive tripod at Walmart, to this Velbon. For double the money, it's 10 times better. from Amazon.com The Velbon 607/F is a pretty nice tripod, especially for the money. I have been using it for a few months and really like it. from Amazon.com It does not make jerky moves like a tripod that does not have this fluid head feature. I recommend it to anyone who has had the misfortune of getting a cheap tripod, and has had jerky videos. I now have 3 velbon tripods, 2 of which are the videomate-607/f models, and they are worth the price, which is very reasonable compared to a more costly model. The only down side is that I wish the legs would spread apart a little further. from Amazon.com I've owned a Velbon tripod before. Bought my first one in 1985 when I purchased my first Sony 8mm camcorder, and I've had it ever since! from Amazon.com I spent A LOT of time trying to find a reasonably priced tripod that had true fluid-head smooth panning and tilting. I have my own videography business, and had spent $100 on a tripod that was jerky when you tried to pan or tilt. This velbon cost $60 and is incredibly smooth for pan and tilt. The tripod is a little bit too light weight. from Amazon.com For the price, this is a great tripod. I've used my previous velbon 587-C for 5 years straight, and found it light, easy to travel with, with a perfectly fluid head. Whoever wrote that it's jerky may not realize that there are individual tension settings for every component, so you can set the tension to be light & quick or rock-steady. from Amazon.com Before I found this Velbon, I bought a Manfrotto tripod kit for almost 3x the cost. I wish I had found this tripod first. from Amazon.com
