Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony VCT-80AV Remote Control Tripod for use with Compatible Sony Camcorders
Customer Review: Perfect for lightweight tripod needs with a compact prosumer video camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Though I have used professional video tripods from Sachtler and Bogan Manfrotto in the past with full-sized professional video cameras, they are a bit of overkill for a prosumer grade compact HDV video camera. And, the inexpensive Silk tripods and the like are too shaky and flimsy to use for serious video work.
But for my Sony HC7 HDV video camera, Sony's VCT-80AV tripod is perfect. The legs are much sturdier than a lightweight consumer tripod, but it doesn't sacrifice lightness and compactness to achieve it. The head is a single stage fluid design that balances the camera nicely and provides for a fairly smooth pan and/or tilt motion. The quick release plate secures well to the tripod head and is easy to attach to the camera. The center column has a locking knob to secure it at whatever level you choose.
The best feature of the VCT-80AV is the panhandle with built in Sony remote control. It is comfortable and easy to use with all of its features well position for quick control of the camera.
the VCT-80AV is sturdy enough for light professional work, but compact and lightweight enough to carry on a backpacking trip.
