Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the 290 Tripod with Fluid Video Head's stability, lightweight design, and ease of use. Many appreciate the quality build and the smooth operation of the fluid head, which enhances adjustability. However, some users noted challenges with panning and the mounting plate, including missing components in some instances. Overall, the positive feedback on the tripod's key features outweighs the reported minor drawbacks.

    I like this tripod. I wish the legs were a little bit thicker. I can see how they would become dented easily. I also wish the head was a little more fluid but I am satisfied with this purchase, especially the price.

    I was expecting some smooth motion side-to-side, as 95 percent of my videos use only this action. Unfortunately, it limited me to a loose setting that gave me smooth motion, but actually introduced a wobble to the camera, or a tighter setting that was limited in range of sweep and had a hitch that demanded more force to move past a point and affected the smooth motion desired. Returned it.

    Twist nob for side to side movements is not the best. Fluid head is nice. But the legs are kind thin for a nice tripod. Don’t know if it will hold up longer than 6 months

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
