Ultra Series Tripod
[ Posted: 2008-05-20 ]
So far so good with this tripod and it is a great accessory for my brand new Canon HV30. The bubble levels add so much, especially when shooting on uneven ground and you're trying to level out your shot. With that said, adjusting the sticks are a simple task and the locking knobs and mount screws seem to be durable. I've put the Ultra Series Tripod through a few test runs and shot set ups so I'm not sure how it will do should filming get a bit rugged, but I will update the review should anything adverse happen. I'd definitely recommend it for the amateur filmmaker as it has measuring markers that a script supervisor/continuity person can take note of should you need to reshoot or whatever. Casual video enthusiasts can utilize this as well but may not use all of the features.
