Better than most, but high price
By Alan Twain
Not for light weight cameras, but works well with FX1 or FX7 Sony HDV Cameras. Good fluid motion with easy one knob leveling; Tension loaded for best use with FX1 Sony Camera. I have 3 of these tripods in use.

By Anuther1
This tripod is perfect for the higher weight sony camcorders. The functions available from the handle make shooting without transferring your attention to the camera very convienient. Some reviews mentioned "reversed controls" on the handle and problems with center leveling - I think these people didn't read the documentation with the unit. The handle just needs to be loosened past the stop, rotated, and then adjusted, use the switch to select the normal or reversed functions. Also, use the knob on the bottom to adjust the center leveling. This tripod is very good, but if you don't know how to set up a professional level tripod then at least read the instructions before writing reviews. I am glad I spent the extra money for this.

Sony VCT-1170 Video Tripod
By CCMiami
I purchased this for use with a HDR-HC1, while all the pros like the Bogens, I really liked the remote control - but for the very high price it had better be very good. Bottom line - I sent it back.While it is strudy and well built, it would try and "center" the camera verticaly and there did not seem to be any way to adjust this. Also, there was some (a little) backlash. It seems like this is about double the price of other brands, but the only one in that range with LANC.I don't think it isintended for a small camcorder, perhaps with more weight it would not move on its own. But fot that kind of $ it should be very very good. Not sure at this point what I am going to get, perhaps the cheaper one and be done with it or a "real" tripod (for less $) and try and find a remote control.
