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

“An excellent tripod, top-notch quality all around. The fluid head is great, extremely well-made and very sturdy. Every detail of the tripod feels like it was built by a precision machine—its operation, everything about it is outstanding. The finishes and every small detail are first-class. For its price, this tripod delivers far more than what you’d expect. I recommend it to anyone considering buying itIt really hurt to have to return it, but it was way too big for my needs. I honestly made a mistake choosing it. You really need to pay close attention to the size and weight. For me, it just wasn’t what I needed for birdwatching or outdoor macro.Iwant to buy the same tripod brand with the same type of head, but a smaller one.

This tripod is heavy, yes, but its one of the reasons it performs so well, like a Sachtler (Funny, just saw one on the set of the Great British Baking Show as I was typing this) or Vinten that costs a whole lot more. Not enough weight means jerky panning and tilting, at least in my opinion. The mid-level spreader is a nice plus when setting up for a shot on uneven terrain. I greatly prefer it to a ground spreader. One of my favorite features is the ball head. The handle to loosen the ball is very large, allowing me to (balance the head and) tighten it down quickly and securely. The motion on the head is very nice, too, approaching a pricy fluid head. The clips to hold the legs together while the tripod is collapsed aren't very heavy so they'll fail with heavy use, but I've never had a tripod with these types of clips so I'm not too worried about them breaking. The rest of the tripod is very well made. The locks are sturdy. All in all, a VERY nice tripod with truly professional features at an amazingly reasonable price. I expect to get very good use and great videos out of mine. A beautiful pan is well worth the weight, always.

Pretty solid tripod overall. I’ve used it with heavier camera setups and it holds up well without feeling unstable. One of my favorite features is the quick release mechanism on the head. It’s smooth, secure, and makes swapping cameras fast and painless. Honestly, I just wish they sold the mounting plates separately so I could leave one attached to multiple cameras to avoid needing to constantly take it off to remount. But then again, I could just get another one lol. For the price, it’s a reliable option that handles more weight than you might expect and is easy to work with in real setups. It gets very tall, which is something I do enjoy and find that it comes in handy.

If you need a tall, sturdy tripod, this is it. It is heavy. Nice fluid action.

Didn’t expect it to be this good honestly, but it’s extremely sturdy and gets the job done!

Very sturdy.

I OWN A NUMBER OF TRIPODS. THIS ONE IS GREAT. QUICK EASY SETUP. QUALITY APPEARS TO BE VERY GOOD. I HAVE ONLY USED IT A FEW TIMES ... I AM PLEASED SO FAR. I PURCHASED THIS SPECIFICALLY TO USE WITH MY SMART TELESCOPE AFTER SOMEONE RECOMMENDED IT IN AN ASTRONOMY GROUP. WOULD WORK WELL WITH A CAMERA WITH ANY LENS BUT ESPECIALLY WITH A BIG TELEPHOTO. VERY EASY TO ADJUST. I LIKE THAT IT HAS THE FLIP LEG LOCKS AS OPPOSED TO THE TWIST TYPE.

Love this tripod! Very strong materials, very easy to transport, and it’s actually quite light compared to other industry models I’ve used. Very easy and fast to set up for quick shoots and the plate is very easy to put it on the head. Works great for me every time, and have used it with multiple cameras at this point. It has been very versatile for me. Very much recommended.

The instruction booklet is not very helpful, only 4 of the 39 pages are in English, and they don't even mention the ball head levelling adjustment which is a super nice feature that videographers will appreciate. Unlike the instructions the product itself is just awesome. The pan and tilt movements are silky smooth, and locking them down doesn't change your camera alignment making it easy to use. With the first set of legs extended it is at a good working height, with the second set extended it's above my 6' head level. The locking levers have a very positive feel and they function well. It's very stable and has some substantial weight to it. During initial unboxing it seemed to be much more massive than I'd expected. However, once I set it up the first time I was impressed with the overall build quality, and it's something I'm sure I'll be happily using for many years to come. My only complaint is that the adjustment handle has to come off to fit in the storage bag, but honestly this is a minor inconvenience for such a good product, and this really is excellent value for money.

Excelente opcion , cabezal fluido, robusto, buenos materiales. Para dar el brinco a la gama profesional de tipies, lo recomiendo mucho, muy satisfecho ademas trae su estuche de tela

Amazing. Appears absolutely perfect bought as used. A very solid tripod excellent for filming.

Looks cheap but feel professional

Okay, mal ehrlich: Ich hab jahrelang gefilmt und mich ständig mit diesem wackeligen Billo-Fotostativ rumgeärgert. Schwenks wie aus dem Zitteraal, ständig am Rumgeschraube, und bei jeder neuen Einstellung war irgendwas wieder schief. Jetzt, mit meiner Sony Alpha7iv und ’nem Rode Mic, musste echt was Besseres her – aber halt nix, wofür ich ’ne Niere verkaufen muss. Und was soll ich sagen? Das NEEWER Basic 74" hat’s voll rausgehauen. Nach 6 Monaten und locker 20 Videos bin ich ernsthaft Fan! Was kann das Teil? Also, komplett aus Alu – hält also auch, wenn’s mal ruppiger zugeht (und ja, ich hab’s getestet). Bis 188 cm Höhe, das reicht auch für Leute mit Überlänge. Das Highlight ist aber der Fluidkopf, zwei Achsen, super easy zu wechseln und trägt bis zu 5 Kilo. Wasserwaage drin, Panorama-Libelle drin. Plus: Tragetasche, Kameraplatte und sogar ne Handschlaufe. Alles dabei außer vielleicht ’ner Kiste Bier. Mal Tacheles, was rockt und was nicht: Qualität & Halt: ✅ Alu wie aus’m Panzer: Wackelt null, selbst wenn ich das Ding bis zum Anschlag hochfahre und mein 3kg-Setup draufklatsche. ✅ Fluidkopf? Läuft wie geschmiert! Du kannst den Widerstand einstellen, wie du Bock hast – von ultralangsam bis Formel-1-Style. Handling: ✅ Turbo-Aufbau: 3 Drehknöppe pro Bein, in 20 Sekunden steht die Kiste. ✅ Kamera ran? Zack, Hebel umgelegt, bombenfest. Im Einsatz: ✅ Schwenks wie auf Schienen – ernsthaft, es sieht aus, als würde die Cam schweben, auch mit Tele. ✅ Steht wie ein Fels – egal ob Waldboden, Kopfsteinpflaster oder sonstwas. ❌ Okay, 2,1 Kilo sind jetzt nix für Lauch-Backpacker. Aber hey, Stabilität kostet halt ein bisschen Muckis. Mein Fazit nach’m Härtetest: Letzten Monat hab ich’m Bike-Trail gefilmt – und alter Schwede, was ’n Unterschied! Statt holpriger Action gabs butterweiche Verfolgungsshots, als hätte ich ’nen unsichtbaren Kamerakran dabei. - Der Fluidkopf ist für mich echt das Herzstück – Widerstand fein einstellen, egal ob Schneckentempo oder „Fast & Furious“. - Geil: Bei 90°-Schwenks gibt’s so’n sanftes Klicken – mega für Interviews, wenn’s präzise sein muss. - Und Regen? 10 Stunden durch den Matsch, nichts wackelt, keine Schraube locker, kein rostiges Gequietsche. Ja, kein Carbon, schon klar. Aber genau deshalb steht das Ding wie ne Eins. Mein Highlight? 2-Minuten-Zeitraffer im Sturm, und das Bild war glatt wie’n Eishockeyfeld. Wer sollte sich das Teil holen – und wer besser nicht? ✅ Top für: - Leute, die YouTube, Events oder kleine Dokus drehen - Einsteiger mit Ambitionen – stabile Videos = besserer Sound & Look - Fotografen, die ab und zu filmen wollen - Outdoor-Filmer, die nicht bei jedem Windstoß nervenkriegen wollen ❌ Eher nix für: - Ultralight-Wanderer (das Ding schleppt man nicht zum Mount Everest) - Nur-Fotografen – da tut’s auch was Billigeres - Hollywood-Profi mit 15kg-Kamera – sorry, da macht’s schlapp Mein finales Statement: Ganz ehrlich? Für etwas mehr als 100 Euro ist das Ding ein No-Brainer. Du kriegst ’nen echten Fluidkopf, Stabilität deluxe und alles, was du als aufstrebender Filmemacher brauchst. Meine Videos sehen jetzt aus wie von nem halben Profi – und das Aufbauen macht sogar Spaß. Kurz & dreckig: Das NEEWER ist mein Upgrade fürs Heimstudio. Perfekte Schwenks, bombensicher, und für den Preis lacht sich mein altes Stativ in Grund und Boden. 5 Sterne, ohne zu zucken!
