Customer Reviews of Slik Professional Universal Deluxe Tripod with 3-Way Panhead and Panoramic Photo Guide
An old friend. I've had my Slik U212 now for over 25 years. I used it at first for my Cannon A1 film camera.. several camcorders and done tons of video work on it. Last few years it's been supporting my Nikon digitals including my D200. Have done everything from filming weddings and local commercials, used it in the mountains, woods and swamps. Had up to 18 pounds of equipment mounted on it, perched on the side of a cliff. Tripod is excellent! Rock solid, easy to set up and use. It's a little heavy. I found an excellent tent pole sack to carry it around in years ago which helped, but it is heavy. Because of the weight, I've kept my eyes open for the last 20 years for a replacement..trying out, borrowing other tripods over the years, but looking for something that I'm willing to spend up to about $300 on.. to this day.. I have not found anything I've liked better... It's been dragged other half the world and still looks and works perfect... the quick release is worn down so I might new a new head for it in the next or 10 years.

After looking at tripods ranging from $20 to $1,000, I plunked down in the middle. The U212 has proved to be solid, stable and easy to adjust. The quick release is a nice touch, as well. As the name implies, it's not a featherweight, and I'd probably not use it as a backpacking tripod, but then, I take my little point and shoot up mountains, not the big D-80 DSLR. The Slik and a good prime lens work very well for photographing theater in available light.
So Far, So Good...
I bought this tripod about two months ago and have had great success with the stability and manueverability. I trust this tripod very much. Even with a heavier, telephoto lens, I am sure that the camera will not fall, and that the camera body isn't under too much stress.
