Good Value, Quality OK

This review is from: Dolica MT-700 Professional Video Tripod
Pros:
Good price as always from Newegg. Tripod is sturdy, very smooth panning, tilting is ok. Nice included case, handle extends so you can sit down and film with the camera way up.. :)
Cons:
If the tilt lock is loosened a lot the tilt is good, if there is any tightening of the knob you get a little jitter when starting to tilt, not a big deal.
Had a problem when extending the center section for more height. The threaded aluminum piece in the center pipe was not very secure, had a little movement but with the camera on it it was really bad. Pretty simple fix if you have a hot glue gun and a little longer roll pin. I also used teflon tape on both sides of the head mounting stud, hot glued the aluminum piece into the pipe (looks like there was some kinda glue in there but didnt hold), and hot glued the mount into the aluminum piece before tightening the nut on top. Everything is perfect now.
Overall Review:
Its a good tripod for beginners, I will make good use of this item with home movies and amateur stuff..
