I give it 5 stars! The tripod does tilt up and down and pan back and forth nicely (I realized that I didn't say anything about that in the video). Please see video for more details.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth axis and panning, April 15, 2009

For a cheap tripod, the pan and tilt are very smooth. Wanna complain? Buy a $20 tripod from Walmart and try to pan smoothly with it. Wanna moan? Buy a pro tripod for a couple bills and moan about how thin your wallet has become.

This tripod is a good value, smooth operating - a step up from the junk tripods that are too short, too fragile and too jumpy. I gave it four stars instead of five only because there are better tripods out there if you want to spend four or five times the money.
