Rating : - Sony VCT 80AV an excellent value
I bought this unit since I recently purchased a HDR SR11 hard drive camcorder. My wife and I spend a lot of time taking video of horses in horse shows. I have a regular professional camera with all the bells and whistles; however, she was having to spend hours holding the camcorder. This tripod works great with the AV connector...its made for it. The selling point was the built-in remote control. It has variable speeds and works ABSOLUTELY great. The price is well worth it because I do not have to hear my poor wife complaining of back aches; and by the way the videos are less shaky....She is a tall girl so the high of the tripod falls a bit short. However, you can elevate it and place masking tape on it to hold its extended position....results....great video.
