Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony VCT-R100 Tripod For General Use

Bought this tripod as was fed up trying to prop up my sony handycam on books/chairs etc. Well built, comes with a small sleeve/bag, and can fit in a rucksack easily. Quality product, but i'm sure not good enough for people who need a full size tripod for semi-pro work. great for hobbyists though.

This is the first tripod I've ever bought, and the first time I've used one. On first appearance it seemed absolutely fine, sturdy etc but I've found that there can be a little bit of instability, especially when using a long zoom.
I wouldn't really recommend it, although possibly it would be much better with a smaller camera - mine is a quite large bridge camera.

This a great tripod for still photography, but is so jerky for video it can be annoying.

Should have read the specs better! This tripod only just reached above my hip! Pointlessly short I cant imagine why you would ever need a tripod this small.

This is a great quality tripod and perfect for throwing in a rucksack. It's extremely light and collapses down to about 30cm. If your after a full height tripod look elsewhere, it only only extends to about a metre but this is a compromise for the portability of it.
Being quite small and light in a strong wind it may move a bit and also wouldn't be suitable for a heavy telephoto or similar.
All in all for a light, small portable tripod it's ideal if you don't fancy carrying around a full heigh tripod.
