Overhead Tripod 78"/200cm DSLR Flexible Aluminium Travel Tripod 22lbs/10kg Load - K234A7 + BH-28L (S210)
SKU: KF09.087V2
My daughter and I both do video product reviews from time to time. I have jerryrigged solutions in the past for overhead shots. We wanted something a bit more professional and stable. This was exactly what we needed.
It is so cleverly designed and versatile. It can be a normal tripod, a monopod, an overhead or underslung tripod as well. It's reasonably light and comes with a great carry bag as well.
I will admit it took me a little while (aka fathoming the instructions) to find how the overhead part comes out of the main tripod. It cleverly stows away inside the main shaft when it is not needed.
So glad that I invested in this. Worth every penny.

I have several classic tripods and finally this one replaces them easily. With the added advantage of being able to film vertically (which I was looking for). Superb color and excellent value for money.

You can probably get less functional and sturdier tripods for your money. BUT it is an excellent compromise between quality and functionality. It's better made than you think, although it's a long term life I can't tell yet. This allows for an almost unique range of heights that I would otherwise only be able to achieve with studio stands or poles. Allows you to shoot video overhead as well as in the studio. For me it will be mainly for studio use for quick and flexible setups when I need some urgent shooting. But I've used it outdoors and got angles with a remote that would have been tricky otherwise. I appreciate. I would have paid more for a deluxe version with maybe better leg lock positions and stronger springs. But it's fine, not a toy or a gimmick,

Super tripod for attaching a Sony Ax 53 and 100 camera. It is safe and very robust. With its kneecap, we make any video or photo shot.

Pleasantly surprised by this tripod. I like the independent legs, the spirit level, the adjustment possibilities and the great height. I don't like the time it takes to set up the tripod, stabilize it, adjust the ball joint etc. A lot of adjustments are good but it takes time. And another thing a handle to move the device would not have displeased me. That's why I take off 1 star. At this canon price not everything can be perfect

The hyper modular side worried me a little but in the end it is not at all made at the expense of stability, except perhaps on the last 5 cm of deployment of the second upper bar The quality of manufacture has nothing to do envy the "big" brands, excellent travel tripod for everything Only regret: No carbon version with the upper adjustable stem, too bad otherwise it's what I would have ordered, it exists from a competitor ("free .... "), for 4.5 times more expensive!! Very happy with my purchase, even if it will take a little perspective on its solidity. Only one complaint: The bag provided is very good, and consistent with use while traveling, but why not include an inside pocket for accessories!? Also note:It is announced for 7 or 8Kg I believe but the ball head is not suitable: To be reserved for hybrids or small SLRs of around 1.5Kg with lens ... travel combo what :-)

It's a very good product, well finished. Fast delivery, no hassle. Very good design, good construction. However, there are 2 points to improve. 1/This is the adjustment with the bubble level. it is not practical because it is placed in front, and it is not very precise. 2/ The quick coupler. It's usable but compared to the rest of the design and construction it's spot on. it's not good enough. Everything else is fine, very stable in use.

Only received this today so haven't been in the field with it yet but gave it a thorough examination indoors with my heavy pro type equipment.
Appearance is very good and quality seems high at this price point. The ball head has a very fluid smooth movement and panning is very nicely dampened. When all tightened up in position it seems very sturdy with no hint of a wobble.
Many adjustments to suit all shooting situations and light enough to carry up to my local mountains for some landscape shots ! A fraction of the price of some branded models but not far behind in quality at all.
So far so good !
