Video Remote Control Tripod for Sony FDR-AX53 AX43 AX33 AX100 AX700 HDR-CX405 CX455 CX440 CX675 Camcorder Handycam RX10M4 RX10M3 RX10M2 RX100M7 RX100M6 HX99 HX90V HX80 HX60V HX50V HX400V HX300 Camera

This is the perfect (and better) replacement for the Sony VCT-VPR1. I went to buy the Sony and could not find it... but this seemed to be the same. After testing it, it controls the camera perfectly (Sony Handycam). However, the build quality seems much better than the Sony (how can that be Sony is great!). What I mean is it holds the camera super securely as the second prong that goes in the camera bottom can be screwed in to secure the camera too. Also, it is much more controllable as the gears to move it around and damper the movement seem to fine tune better. Easy to setup, a tad heavier and sturdier and all in all a more perfect version of the Sony VLT-VPR1.

Commande arrivée a temps le trépieds est parfait je suis satisfait

I was a little concerned about the quality of this product since it's a brand I did not recognize, but this is a very well made and sturdy and is packaged well. It is quite compact and lightweight when folded up - easy to carry in the convenient, high-quality carrying case. I had bought the Sony HDR-CX405 video cam and was looking for a compatible tripod/remote. Various sources indicated only some of the camcorder features worked with the remote, but that is not true. All of the features, including grid line function (not available on the camcorder itself), power, and zoom worked well. I am pleased with this purchase. (Side note: the only slightly sub-optimal thing is the instruction manual is small and a little hard to read. But once you get past that, it is actually helpful in understanding how the different components work - though that is also intuitive.)

This tripod is completely plastic and is therefore is not able to be stable as a much better built metal tripod. That being said, this is a nice tripod that can be used for purposes that require flat solid surfaces to use. Anything that would cause stress on the tripod would cause damage or complete breakage to the tripod. As for the remote, it to is plastic and is not a smooth finished product, there is NO sensitivity with the zoom control, it is rough and does not function smoothly. As my title suggests this tripod is for the budget minded user. If you are looking for a extremely well made tripod, this "Video Remote Control Tripod" is NOT for you. If you are limited in your buying level, this will work for you, just remember it is ALL plastic and will require you to be very careful where and how you use it. I do NOT recommend this tripod for any cooler or cool weather as it being plastic it become damaged or broken.

Very sturdy tri pod really like the remote! The smoothness of focus is excellent.i feel it could be a smoother movement for panning the camera
