Pro Line Dolica AX620B100 Proline Aluminum

$51.00 Est. at Amazon

from "roberthbennett", www1.cameraworld.com
the only nit picking i had with it was a slight movement where it mounts.
from www.amazon.com
perhaps a strong wind could cause some movement but it's not going over.
from www.amazon.com
legs are easy to adjust one handed as well, but beware that the movement will stick from time to time, so a little lube help will keep them loose.
from www.amazon.com
great range of motion and very fluid movement.

Sony VCT-D680RM

$165.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
it seemed well made and everything but the movement was very jerky compared to the sony.
from www.pricegrabber.com
nice tripod strengths: remote control, smooth movement weaknesses: only 2 steps of zooming button.
from www.pricegrabber.com
pan and tilt is very adjustable for smooth movement.
from www.amazon.com
also, not having to even touch the camcorder cuts down on shifting and movement of the camcorder.

Canon 100 Monopod

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
strong and rigid, easy to control on the head so that you can have it loose for free movement but tight enough that the camera doesn't flop over.
from www.amazon.com
very well built, ball head has a clean and smooth movement to it.
from www.amazon.com
while no monopod can give 100% of the stability of a tripod, the reduction in movement can do wonders for one's photography, especially in low-light situations.
from www.amazon.com
my videos had a lot more stillness rather than the movement has if you were on a boat and i had a lot more clarity on my still shots.
from www.amazon.com
this one allows you some movement (what i really wanted), but also locks down confidently on the average camera or camcorder.

GP Batteries Joby GP2-01P Gorillapod Flexible

$45.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i really needed like a ball-head tripod head on the gorillapod to give me that freedom of movement once the tripod is secure.
from www.amazon.com
yet, a slight movement lower causes gravity to win the battle and pull the whole thing down in the middle.
from www.amazon.com
so many times i went out somewhere and wished i had a way to take a picture of myself in my new surroundings, have a group picture, or get the perfect shot without any movement by my part.
from www.amazon.com
and the bottom of each leg has a high-grade non-slip material which prevents movement, even on a very smooth or sloped surface.
from www.amazon.com
last week i used a car roof and chain-link fence for multisecond night exposures (car roof was not level,still had to brace camera with hand on fence, which caused some movement).

Joby GP1-OGEN Gorillapod

they are ball and socket type pieces that fit pretty tightly together and offer a good amount of restricted movement to put your cam the way you want it to be.

Sony VCT-R640

$53.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
it is very easy to manuever the camera on the tripod and has a wide degree of allowed movement.
from "Yllina", www.bhphotovideo.com
its movement is not as smooth as some more expensive and heavier tripods i used before, but i'd rather carry this one around than carrying a 10 pound tripod when i travel!
from www.amazon.com
it's also very inexpensive and easy to use, with a head that has a fantastic range of movement.
from www.amazon.com
all the movements are smooth, and don't jerk at all.

from www.adorama.com
with one hand you can raise and lower your camera in one easy movement.

4) for this much money, i wish the monopod movement was dampened and air-cushioned.

Manfrotto Digi 728B

$189.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
the difference with the 728b head compared to the head of tripods found at electronic store is the smoothness in movement and the ability to maneuver the head without hesitation.
from www.pricegrabber.com
the head movement is extremly smooth so panning is a breeze.

785 Modo

$60.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the photo position gives you 3 axis movement freedom, and once you get the angle, you lock the head and that's it.
from www.amazon.com
i replaced the factory oily lubricant with dupont teflon multi-use dry, wax lubricant and the movement of the head is really smooth.
from www.amazon.com
the friction added by the trigger is sticky and movement is jerky.

Slik PRO 700 DX

$120.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Gadgt Hound", www.adorama.com
but, for fighting wind or camera shake from mirror movement, this is it.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
in addition it will support a lot of weight which is very useful for macro work as your head can be set up anyway you want and there wont be any movement after all.
from www.amazon.com
when you tighten one of the movements (and you do not need a lot of pressure) it stays put, period!!
from www.amazon.com
movement/calibration with the handle bars tends takes a bit of an effort at times.
