Victiv 78″/ 198cm Camera Tripod for Canon Sony Nikon, DSLR Tripod Lightweight with Monopod for Travel, Compact Tripods with Ball Head and Phone Holder, Tall Tripod Cameras Max Load 8kg

Excellent item.
Surprisingly sturdy. Well built. Comes with spare plate, mount screw and Allen keys. Also love the carry bag it comes with. The instructions could be better but it’s straight forward to adjust or change into an monopod and back. All feels good quality and definitely good value for money. Very happy and would buy again.

Great quality at a price that won’t break the bank.
I have been looking for a tripod which would be talk enough, versatile and wouldn’t break the bank. When I found this tripod, I thought giving it a shot, with the thought of disappointment and regret, however the feeling changed as soon as I took it out of the box. Every little detail was up to my expectations and some even more. So here is my review of this tripod.Build quality and AestheticWhen thinking 81inch, heavy comes to mind. However from the unboxing I was very surprised at the weight, which not being a carbon fiber tripod, still is quite light and compact, my actual tripod was 70inch, and both size and weight are similar. It’s made of aluminium mostly with some rubber parts. If you want a lighter one, the carbon fiber is the answer, however I prefer to save for glass!I can honestly say it’s one of the best looking tripods I have encountered out there, those rings and lock releases give it a nice punch.Functionality and portabilityCompletely folded is quite compact, and the inclusion of a bag to protect the ball head is a very thoughtful idea, thank you. The carrier bag is quite nice, waterproof and multilayered.From a versatility point of view, this is all I need, tall, robust and stable even at extreme height (78inch). It has the typical hook for the backpack for extra stability and, a major plus for me as I do wildlife photography, it can be converted to a Monopod, at even bigger height of 81inch, built surprisingly from one of it’s legs, instead of shoving more metal into the central pole like others I’ve had.It’s also reversible for close-up macro shots which I love and the feet can be removed, exposing metal spikes for tricky slippery terrain. Everything is well put together and you get extra tools for maintenance inside the box which is handy.At 19 pound load capacity, I don’t know any camera that this tripod wouldn’t support, as it’s is really sturdy.ReliabilityIf any doubts, Victiv offers a 10 year quality guarantee. I personally never expected any Tripod to last more than 5years, unless they are collecting dust on a shelve, mine get usually beaten daily.ConclusionIt’s good the looks, the quality and versatility for any photographer at a very appealing price point. I am extremely happy with it and recommend to any fellow photographers out there.

Light and compact, extend to above head height
The 81inch tripod is just the right size for me who shoot a lot of photos behind large group of people on the go. Once extended it can get to above head height, my EOS R have flip out screen which I can still see if my subject is in frame etc.When folded up it is just about fit in my back pack and I like to have this when I am travelling as I have the option to just take out one of its leg and use it as a monopod when I am on location and just leave the rest in the hotel room. The mono pod extend to similar height of the extended tripod so having the same reach is great.The ball head have knob screw type tighting adjustment, the panning motion is fluid and to extend the central column is easy with a twist to the ring. I wish the legs can have the same easy twist lock but the good old flip and hold down lock is more secure so I am happy with that.Only the legs locking mechanism is made of plastic, all the heads, legs and body are of metal so light but strong enough for my EOSR and 70-200 lens combo. There is no safety limiter or spring when camera is mounted inverted for low shots, you can get close to the ground which is great but if you don’t be careful it can slip and send you camera straight to the ground and smashed up your gear. Best to have something between your camera upside down and the ground for that type of shots

Some screws were not well assembled and the screw for the head is too short

Muy buena calidad y acabado. Utilizo principalmente el monopie para macrofotografia y me resulta muy flexible y cómodo de usar y transportar. Las veces que he utilizado el trípode, el resultado ha sido satisfactorio.El servicio de atención al cliente es excelente. Se han preocupado por solventar el problema que me surgió a pesar de no ser atribuible a ellos.
