Tripod works well and remote controls are good. However the tripod itself is plastic and you have to be careful handling the unit. All adjustment points are plastic and subject to break if not handled carefully, I would purchase this unit again if needed to.

It works. And it is light and portable. So if that is your need go ahead. I got this for Hudl football filming. Next season will be using what I’ve upgraded to. A budget priced but quality tripod (seriously $100 buys a lot of video tripod for non pro work) and the JJC Manfrotto style anttachment arm control. So for less than twice the cost of this have a much more stable/fluid base and panning/tilting flow.This doesn’t suck. The actual controls are as responsive as the Sony branded that this aims to substitute. And it does that well. But if you can spend a bit more and buy it in those two pieces, JJC control arm and a better tripod, you will be happier

It took about 10 times of using it for either me or the remote control to figure out how to sort of become one with the camcorder. Now that it is fully synced, it works really well. I like using it very much. It allows me to focus on a moving object, like a deer or a turkey or a coyote, with one hand, and with little disturbance of the animal. I recommend this product.

Good price, great product

I was a little concerned about the quality of this product since it's a brand I did not recognize, but this is a very well made and sturdy and is packaged well. It is quite compact and lightweight when folded up - easy to carry in the convenient, high-quality carrying case. I had bought the Sony HDR-CX405 video cam and was looking for a compatible tripod/remote. Various sources indicated only some of the camcorder features worked with the remote, but that is not true. All of the features, including grid line function (not available on the camcorder itself), power, and zoom worked well. I am pleased with this purchase. (Side note: the only slightly sub-optimal thing is the instruction manual is small and a little hard to read. But once you get past that, it is actually helpful in understanding how the different components work - though that is also intuitive.)

Unfortunately this product is built to a low price point. The tripod is stiff and cheap and basically comes for free. Annoyingly the remote itself creaks and cracks as you grip it and move the tripod head around (I use it to film my kids sports). The Sony handycam’s mic is plenty sensitive enough to pick up these sounds. But it still gets four stars as it’s the only product with this functionality and it makes a huge difference being able to zoom in and out whilst rapidly moving the camera. The ‘slow’ zoom function works really well. If you’re planning on mounting it to a better tripod head then buy the standalone version as you’ll struggle to find a decent tripod head that will fit the 10mm shaft.

This is sturdy, smooth & easy to adjust. The remote plug didn't fit my camcorder but the tripod itself is excellent and I'm sure the remote zoom would be too. Don't hesitate to buy it, it's great.

When it advertises remote control I did not think the remote would be attached to the tripod. I should have returned it.
