[10.95 lb] sturdy and well built. got it on sale for $150. Very worth it!

[Yes] I got this on one of those daily flash sales, so it’s value reflects what I paid for it. For what I paid it’s an incredible value. I bought a different tripod for a similar price at the same time and the e-image tripod is 10x better made. Everything is really well made. It’s VERY heavy duty without being overly heavy. The head is extremely robust and nice and smooth. I think my only complaint is that the pan head doesn’t have any drag control. For being set a fixed speed I found it to be very forgiving however, being able to get a nice slow pan and relatively fast pans.

[Yes] Solid as Stonehenge, collapses fast and easily, the head is really smooth for video. It is in fact, better than the salesguy said it would be when I called about it. Which is what you want. Under promise and over deliver.

For the money, or just in my overall experience, this thing is really great. It is a bit heavy if you plan to carry it for distances, but its not impossible to carry for a mile or so either.

[10.95 lb] Ive been using the E-Image for the past three years and have been very satisfied with it. Ive not had any mechanical issues with tension knobs or leaks from the fluid head. Its nice and solid with very little flex. I have seen some of these models where the rubber soles have come off the feet but thats easily fixable with a little glue. The only drawback, IMO, is that theres no good way to add tension to your pans. You can jockey the pan lock to give it a little but thats not what its for. Even so I wouldnt have expected that kind of feature at this price point. This tripod is an INCREDIBLE value, especially since they often run deals to sell it at $150 instead of $220. Cant recommend enough!

[10.95 lb] Been using it now for a few weeks and no complaints.� Might even pick up a second one. Very close to ones we have that are many time the amount.

[Yes] I must admit that these sticks work fine. I purchased them on sale, and for the price they are worth it. I was pleasantly surprised that the spreader items are metal, not plastic: the spreader circle, arms, and bolts (the bolts are not riveted - but look like they can be tightened, loosened, or replaced). The head is smooth enough for use in the studio, and the quick release plate is compatible with my Manfroto 502AH's quick release plates. I was surprised at that. They are a bit heavy, but as I will take my carbon fibre sticks on location, and leave these EK60AAM sticks in my studio, the weight is not an issue. So, compared to my professional sticks, these are clearly not as good. But for the price and anyone on a budget, I would say they are worth considering. And, if one wants to change heads, one can. I would take these over other similarly priced budget sticks, like Libec or Magnus (which I've used at work).

[Yes] This tripod and fluid head is really well built and a great deal for the price. Im using it as a second set of sticks (my primary tripod is a Sachtler FSB6 with Speed-Lock CF legs). I definitely recommend this tripod if youre looking for a well-built piece of kit for a great price.

[10.95 lb] This tripod just feels well made and durable. Be forewarned however, the drag on the fluid head is fixed and may be too much for some applications. That said, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

[10.95 lb] I got this tripod on sale as a throw around budget option that I wouldn’t have to worry too much about. I was very surprised with the quality of the components. It’s isn’t a 450 dollar manfrotto, but the fluid head is solid, the locks on the legs are tight, and it’s not flimsy at all. For 150 it’s a steal.

[Yes] This dolly is nearly perfect for my needs. The wheels are butter smooth, even working fairly well on grass. It accommodates two types of tripod feet. The legs lock in place via the hand-tightened screw.

I bought this dolly to move a fairly heavy jib rig (about 75 lbs). It handles it no problem. I moved the heavy rig over gravel yesterday and tipped the whole thing over not once, but twice. This was not the dolly's fault. The dolly held up fine. I thought it might get bent or twisted from the falls, but there was no such damage.

The only improvement I can recommend is to replace the hand-tightened screw (for locking/collapsing the legs) with a spring-loaded pin. That would be much faster and equally effective. That's a pretty minor critique though.
