Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony VCT-R100 Lightweight Compact Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head
Customer Review: Excellent travelling tripod
Summary: 5 Stars
I have little experience with tripods, but I love this little one. It is fairly lightweight, compacts small and expands to a decent size (you do have to bend over to look into the viewfinder, but what do you expect?), making it a good choice for photographers on the go. I brought it for my Pentax DSLR on a recent trip to Boston. With its help I captured some wonderful night shots of the city.
My tripod weighs 646 grams (almost 23oz).
Since it doesn't weigh a whole lot, it is not the steadiest tripod on three legs. Its legs are solid and it has no problem holding up a DSLR, of course, but a strong wind may effect long exposure shots - this did not happen to me, but I sense the possibility. I will test this aspect when I take the tripod to Iceland in the fall! And while I like to use the timer for tripod shots, I think it would take a steady hand to manually press the shutter for a long exposure photo without a little blurring. Again, I think these are issues to expect with any lightweight tripod.
The legs are easy and fairly quick to adjust. The rest of the controls are a breeze to operate.
The screw mount is very nice. It takes no time at all to attach the camera.
Without having dragged this tripod through much rough travelling, it feels like it will be durable; I hope to use it for many years! Thanks to previous reviewers for convincing me to buy the Sony VCT-R100!
