Review of Sony VCT 1170RM Tripod

Steadfast, loyal and true!!

Advantages: Reasonably priced, portable but very sturdy!
Disadvantages: could do with reaching just a few more inches at full height.

As a professional photographer I have previously shared with you my opinions on many cameras so I thought I would now share with you my opinions of some of the many accessories involved in photography too, starting with the Sony VCT-R640 tripod.

A good one will let you place the camera parallel to the ground and will pan and tilt to whatever angles you need. The Sony VCT R640 definitely falls into this category. It has a lightweight frame (weight is about 2-3kg) which conveniently folds up for transport, painted black to look impressive. It feels very sturdy and well built. The legs can be lengthened to 3 times longer than when folded up, and the height can be further altered by a winder which can be used to raise the camera higher again. A pan handle can be used to rotate the camera on the tripod and angle it up or down. Added to this, it is possible to position the camera in portrait ...
