Pros & Cons

Pros

The vt-4000 is a great video tripod for general use and outdoor use. It fits my dolly (bonus) and seems to hold my dslr and diy teleprompter just fine. I have my camera slider mounted to it and it works great. Combined with some rails for my zoom lens...  Read More

Overall, the tripod is fine in a pinch and sturdy.

The tripod comes with a quality padded bag that will see lots of use. Note - it is a bit tiresome to lug around due to its weight.

The fluid head is fantastic. It pans and tilts very smoothly.

The pan and tilt are silky smooth. There are still slight shakes and jerks in the motion. Treat is gingerly and it will last forever.



Cons

The legs and head seem very nice, but this defect is a deal breaker. Plastic feels like it will crack quickly.

Quality


I was surprised by the quality of this tripod


I film with a galaxy s7 s7 edge and they work fine with the magnus


It takes a little getting used to but the video quality is superb when the operator knows what hes doing


Im thinking of buying another with the wheels attachment

Price


The cost was within our budget and it is just what we were looking for

Competitiveness


I also use a manfrotto tripod that cost twice the price of the magnus


I figured for the cost this wouldnt compare to a manfrotto tripod that costs many times more but it works as well as a tripod can


For the money this is a solid buy for any enthusiast if youre not looking to get into dropping real dosh on something like a ma...  Read More


No more janky or jerky movements that ruin footage quality

    Pan tilt were smooth this model didnt have a control to completely release head pressure so absolute balance couldnt be verified though with the sliding qr adapter a tilt range in the 30degree zone worked ok because of this not sure if this is a true fluid head or friction head

    Its just a little loop of metal which means you have to align the legs exactly right to loop it around them and theres a cheap piece of nylon attached to it which i guess would help you release it but honestly it just gets in the way and looks cheap


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It flew with me several times and i’m sure having it tossed about in my checked on luggage did nothing to help the situation


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It whistled like the sound blowing over a bottle makes


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Because of this in order to get a shot looking up or down you have to manually hold the head in place and tighten it down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Oh the fluid head is not arca swiss although i wasnt sure just reading the listing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They do the job however the thin metal they are made of breaks at the connection to the legs

    I learned to shoot video and mastered some editing programs because of the call for social media presence
