Real Deal for the Price March 14, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
You should buy a good tripod besides a good camera, and this one is great. It looks feels like a pro tripod, but is also not a $2000 one. Heavy enough to make you comfortable your camera will be safe, but is also not extremely heavy so you can't carry it out. The manual adjustments make it work right. But you will see the huge difference between this tripod and those very cheap ones. And the carrying case is great. This tripod is likely the absolute most inexpensive tripod you can buy that is a real fluid head tripod. This is big, it's not light, it works well for video, it is well made and has a quick disconnect plate.

The ProVista is a very sturdy tripod that is fantastic for taking still photos, or for static video capture... (great price as well) Where the ProVista fails...and it fails in a very, VERY big way is real-time panning. Jerky....ugly....messy.... if you plan on doing any 'live' video work, avoid this tripod at all costs.
