5 out of 5 stars Great functionality, competitive pricing from Amazon   December 28, 2008
Im a believer in Sony's remote control Tripods. Makes shooting video a lot easier and resulting better videos with my Sony HDR-SR11. A bit pricey but its a Sony. Thanks to Amazons competitive pricing, makes getting one a lot more convincing. Amazon.com LLC my choice for fast, efficient order processing and great shipping times to Honolulu, Hawaii even with standard shipping. I usually get my stuff from 3 to 5 days from ship date.


5 out of 5 stars Sony VCT 80AV an excellent value   November 3, 2008

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.

Using this with a HD-SR12 camcorder. Has bubble level which is fantastic. Also has remote cotrol which has a slow zoom feature that I constantly use. Fantastic option. However, the pan/tilt movements are really stiff. You can obviously adjust the tension but it is either stiff or you loosen it until it is just too loose. Still a fantastic tripod. Glad I bought it!
