DIGITEK® (DTR 520 BH) 152CM Foldable Aluminum Tripod Cum Monopod with Swivel Pan Head, 4 Section Adjustment, 7kg Max Load, Max Operating Height: 4.95Ft, Compatible with DSLR Camera, Dv Video Camcorder

ordered for my personal use for YouTube videos and professional photography videography. I was using a monopod cum tripod from 5 6 years and it was heavy and the quality was not fine. smoothness was not there. ofcourse this one is a bit costly but its worth every penny. versatile tripod it is. convers to monopod, does over the top shoots. gets to good heigh and to very low height as well. build quality is as good as it can get at this price point. overall highly satisfied

Got this tripod for my RX 100 series camera. Rx100 series cameras are small cameras and weigh 300gms, so please keep this in mind while reading the rest of my review. I mean, heavier cameras + large lenses with this tripod can lead to completely different experiences.The tripod itself looks durable and well built, and comes with accessories to convert it into a monopod/Top view arm tripod.Reduced one star because the arm doesnt make a perfect 90 degree angle with stand/Isn't very parallel to ground, even without any camera/weight on the ball head. And this tripod didn't come with a manual. I recommend getting this tripod from prime seller 'GadgetZone2019' who has good ratings, I did the mistake getting the tripod from another seller.But apart from that:On opening the parcel, I got a branded digitek cardboard box with the tripod, a small extension arm, a screw-bolt to convert tripod to monopod, a small extension rod and a screw-remover to tighten the legs, which won't be usually needed. And a neat good quality carrying bag to carry the tripod in. (The bag quality was good, but had some cut damage- Another reason I recommend buying from the most highly rated seller available).The tripod itself is tall enough for most uses. It goes as tall as 6.2FT fully extended, without any extension rod. The extension rod adds a couple of inches, too. Though this tripod will occupy a lot of space - A LOT - if all legs are fully opened and stretched - Making use of this tripod in small rooms very hard.The tripod comes with a metal build quick release plate attached on the top of the ball head - Not sure if this is standard size, so please ensure you don't lose it since doing that will make your tripod unusable. I dont see digitek selling them separately.The tripod has a fluid head in two places - one below ball head and another at base of horizontal arm - which you can use for panning. Tilting for photos is great, but for videos, it is almost impossible with this tripod, since ball head isn't exactly designed for that. Though you can get a pan and tilt head separately and attach with this same tripod for shooting videos.The horizontal arm on this tripod is really good and can be used for tabletop shooting, making cooking videos etc. I couldn't find another horizontal arm tripod in this price range, and this tripod happens to be so sturdily built that you don't need to think twice before getting this.The tripod legs can be locked at three angles, but happens with help of plastic assembly. Good quality plastic, but still gets me to doubt what happens if one of the locking switches break. Sturdily built, nevertheless.All inbuilt extensions can be extended by rotating clockwise to lock and anticlockwise to unlock. This gives unlimited flexibility on the extension of legs, making it suitable for say extending two legs halfway to place on bed and one on ground, fully extended. I save myself some room by doing that.I tried hitting the tripod from quite a few angles to see if it falls for my setup, and I request you to do that too, just to ensure that the tripod doesn't fall off and damage my camera. After ensuring my setup is stable and checking the tripod legs for full lock, I mount my small point and shoot.Overall, its a great beginner tripod with a hefty but worth-it price tag. If you have an expensive camera, you wouldn't want a 3K tripod ruin your capabilities, right? Get this one and you won't regret. Being able to use a tripod as a tripod, monopod as well as a horizontal arm over-the-table tripod, can't get better than this.

Amazing and strong product

This tripod is good according to price but there is one issue, it's ball joint which controls horizontal motion cracks easily. Tried in 2 tripods and same thing happened. I am using this tripod even after the crack and it's working fine. So either take this and use with care or go for higher budget tripods.

It's good for a beginner level tripod at this price range.Pros:1) Sturdy design. Leg locks are well built and easy to use.2) Legs have anti-skidding pegs.3) Ball head has fluid motion. Easy to use mount. The in-built level indicator is almost accurate.4) Easy to use ball head knobs with proper angle scales.5) It can be easily converted to a monopod.Cons:1) No hanging hook for loads.2) It's too heavy to be carried to a spot because of the heavier metal used in its manufacturing instead of carbon fiber.3) Leg locks should have been better. It feels cheaper.4) Body is too glossy and slippery to be properly held and used. No ridge design for better grip.
