4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tripod to go with the DCR-TRV27 and DSC-F828, July 28, 2004

By	Topgun "RP" (Bordentown, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this tripod after having mistakenly purchased the 480RM which is much shorter. The 580RM is sturdier and the carrying case is much better quality. The controls on the handle are handy for the camcorder while they prove to be useless (mainly the zoom button) for the DSC-F828 since it has a manual zoom/focus ring. The only problem we have had (and it seems to have more to do with the camera) is that the DSC-F828 causes the entire tripod head to tilt to one side due to the design of the camera (lens barrel not centered). You would've thought that the tripod would be able to handle off-center weights specially that of SONY products. At the end of the day, it is an excellent companion to our camera and camcorder. Would've given 5-stars if not for the 'tilt' problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish I got the taller one., November 28, 2007

By	balefire (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews

Quality is great. Works perfectly with my Sony HC3. I just wish I got the taller one. I think the taller one would be more versatile. This one is probably only useful at home. Not good for weddings, etc.
