A great tripod for interviews [Posted on 2008-05-19]
A great all around tripod to shoot events and interviews. I use it with my Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder. Easy to attach the connecting AV cable so you can control the camera's zoom (fast or slow) and start and stop recording. The tripod does a lot for what it costs and it is very stable.
If your uses are for fast action sports requiring fast pans, you may want to consider a more expensive carbon fiber or aluminum tripod, the Sony VCT-80AV is made of hard plastic. These heavy dudy tripods have separate heads with mechanisms that facilitates smooth tight pans and are more suitable in rough environments.
User Friendly and Intuitive [Posted on 2008-05-25]
The VCT-80AV enhances the features of my Sony camcorder as it is very user-freindly and intuitive in its design. The system allows me to concentrate on filming my subject and less time on figuring out the locations of the buttons I need to press. The panning and tiling is very smooth and allows easy following of very active grandchildren and pets with no jerking motion. The only negetive issue is that I had to buy a padded case to replace the one that came with it for improved protection.
