Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No good for video
Review: Pros
Innovative leveling mechanism.
High build quality.

Cons
Legs torque and spring back, telephoto pans require constant hand pressure to maintain framing. Remove your hand at end of pan and camera will move back slightly. This is a design limitation. While this style of tripod is suitable for still photography it is bad for video.

Included 700RC2 head is flawed.
The head clamps onto a quick release plate mounted on the bottom of your camera. The plate is nice and makes a secure connection to the camera without tools/coins.
Unfortunately the head's clamping lever cannot fully rotate when your camera is on the head. Only very thin camcorders will work with this plate/head design. My Beachtech box impedes the lever.
