The height that this tripod can reach is excellent, which results in nice aerial view videos if there are no high stadium stands at the field. Typically, I don't use the maximum reach of the tripod because I keep the clamping knob for the bottom 5' section unscrewed. That lets me rotate the tripod tower freely to track the game action. I still get probably up to about 17'-18' feet (5' per section x 3 sections, plus the height from the unfolded tripod legs). The tripod is easy to set up and easy to take down. The sections are air cushioned when the clamps are unscrewed to collapse the tower. That way, the sections collapse slowly, rather than telescope back down full force. I've used the tripod in winds up to about 30 mph. There was some sway of the vertical tower from the wind. I opened up the tripod legs to make a very wide base and the unit seemed steady (I weighed it down with about 10 lbs at the base and kept my hand on the tower just in case). Technically, I think that this tripod can reach up to around 24 feet, not the 20 feet advertised. There are four 5' sections, giving a 20' tall tower. The tripod legs when deployed add more height, varying maybe from about 2'-3' high (if you have the legs spread wide) to maybe 4' if the legs have a narrow stance. I use an old ski bag to carry the tripod. Update: I recently used the tower during a very rainy game. The telescoping sections retained a fair amount of moisture when collapsed. I saw noticeable water on the tubes the next weekend when I used the tower again. I also saw that the screw threads for the clamps were a bit rusted. So, it's probably a good idea to wipe down/dry the tower after using it in the rain. I also noted that one of the Allen head set screws that holds the very top section to the tower had loosened and when I pulled that section upward to extend it, the entire tube separated. I didn't have an Allen wrench with me to tighten the set screw, so I depended on gravity and friction to keep that top section in place while videoing the game. The set screw is re-tightened now and everything seems good to go. Review: Product seems OK but support sucks - The tripod itself is exactly what was described and seems exactly what was needed. The problem is that the adapter and the stability kit were both missing. I contacted the seller via their support website and via phone and in neither case was my communication responded to. I wouldn't purchase from these guys again. The other pain in the ass is the top spigot stud is not standard so I couldn't use any of my existing ones. Not a deal killer but a pain.

How do you secure it in wind?** A: The legs are very wide. I usually use nothing to secure but if its a really windy day, i use big sand bags so secure. I use it for my veo camera for almost a year. I hope this helps. **Q: Is there a way to swivel it to follow the ball at a soccer game?** A: I bought mine specifically to film soccer games. The trypod stand is excelent quality yet no made for smooth swivel. What I did is I bought a Zifon YT-3000 remote control panoramic electric pan tilt device that I attach to the top of the tripod. It works great. I control pan and tilt remotely and I use the video cameras wireless remote to control zoom. I installed a 25ft HDMI cable from the camera to a small video screen I attached to the tripod. I spent about $1,000 for everything. **Q: How much weight will tripod hold at full height? Will it hold a gimbal and camera?** A: Not sure exact weight. I mounted a video camera on it no problem. It is pretty sturdy and if the gimbal were not overly cumbersome - I don't see it would be an issue **Q: How tall is the dude in the photograph?** A: For sure he’s taller than me because I’m 5.1 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to set up and easy to take down, stable *by M***B on April 14, 2022* I use the tripod to take sports videos.

I am glad I did, because I have been impressed with it. The thickness of aluminum is slightly less, so at full extension it wobbles a little more than the Veo stand, but I learned to counter this by not fully extending each section, but rather leave about 2-3 inches in each section to increase the stability. Also, the built-in feature which slowly descends each section is awesome! The Veo stand just drops quickly and often pinches fingers. The only thing the Veo stand has going for it is the hole at the bottom of the tripod feet which allows for you to use metal stakes. Since we are often on turf, that doesn't help out and I use sandbags full of pea gravel for weight. I read on another review to buy a snow ski bag to carry this around, and that was a genius idea. In addition to this tripod, here is what I purchased to round out my setup.
