Q: 7. Where this tripod made??

Q: 8. I was looking at the tripod and noticed there is a crank to raise and lower the center column. Is that removable or do you have to use it every time? It seems a bit cumbersome.

A: As far as I can tell, the hand crank is NOT removable. You do NOT need to raise the center post unless you wish to. The hand crank has NOT been an interference to me.

Q: 9. I noticed the VT-400 and VT-3000 have the same base price. Any thoughts on why I should buy one versus the other?

A: Stability, size, and height. The VT-3000 is heavier-duty but also a little larger and heavier.

Q: 10. I just purchased the vt-350. Upon inspection, it appears the head is slightly tilted on the column. Is there a way to adjust this. Its obviously tilted as I can slide a piece of paper on one side of the head, but the other I cannot. Any Advice?

A: I think you may have a service issue. Please contact our Customer Service Department to arrange an exchange or return. https://bhpho.to/2caRE5L

[Yes] I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this tripod at this price. Very sturdy and smooth pans. I videotape depositions so it's perfect in terms of size and use. 5

[27.2" / 69 cm] Great tripod, it's sturdy for my a7cII with Sony 24-105 lens. 5

Gregory	27/07/2024
[Yes/No] perfect for my GH5 5

David	17/06/2024
[22" / 55.8 cm] I'm no pro, but I needed a better tripod after adding a heavy 150-600mm zoom to my DSLR and getting into astrophotography, where you need a very steady tripod for long-exposure shots. The DealZone price was irresistible for this solidly built tripod, and I love the smooth motions of the head, which really helps line up the shots, and will be great when I get back into videoing my singing groups after Covid. 5

[Flip Locks] AS quality and good as a tripod I paid hundreds of dollars more years ago. 5

Shane	23/05/2024
[64" / 1.62 m] Excellent across the board, nothing more to say. 5

Itay	09/05/2024
[Yes (Mid-Level)] We got this tripod to use with an iPhone camera. This is more than enough for the job and not flimsy like some of the cheap ones out there. Tested it with a heavier camera as well and it worked fine, no issues. Using it daily in the past few weeks since we got it and we're very happy with it. 5

Andy	06/04/2024
[27.2" / 69 cm] Very smooth, especially when panning as we are panning 40 ft from subject and the old tripod was easy to jitter. This is so smooth. 5

David	30/11/-0001
[22" / 55.8 cm] This isn't a Sachtler, high end Miller or Benro, but it's a pretty good tripod. While it's not sturdy enough to be loaded up with a large-format pro camera and all the accessories, we find this camera to be sufficient for run and gun shooting. The pan/tilt head is okay; but it's not the same as using a full fluid head. We're using it for static shots, so it works out fine for us. One curiosity is the crank lift. I don't understand why manufactures feel compelled to put this in. 5
