Opinions from the Sony VCT-R640

Advantages:
- a dead grip of all clamps - a high-quality study - a good 3D head with three clamps - allows you to mix the camera in only one direction, or both at once and turn it 90 degrees for vertical orientation of the frame. - a good level, albeit a small one - it allows you not to bring down the horizon, even when nothing else is visible except for it (I shot fireworks at night)
Disadvantages:
- no cover - no ballast hook
Comment:
I bought in my city for 2.5 kilo rubles, but I have never regretted that I had to overpay - the cheaper tripods that I looked at in stores (reviewed about ten) did not even lie close to it. In my opinion, healed tripod from budget. P.S. since there is no hook for hanging the load. I decided to make something to replace it myself from scrap materials. It turned out to be a rather interesting design of a webbing and two metal carabiners from some old bag. During strength tests of this design, one of the iron carbines fell apart, and at least henna for the tripod)))

Advantages:
Inexpensive compact very functional device. My A440 holds up perfectly
Disadvantages:
Not designed for heavy cameras, so I think it will be rather weak for the next camera
Comment:
it was inconvenient to carry in hands since there is no cover or something similar, but I fitted a ribbon on my shoulder to it) very convenient

Advantages:
Excellent entry-level tripod. Good build quality. Suitable for beginners and lovers of photo and video. Stable with rubberized feet.
Disadvantages:
1-No cover 2-no level on the head 3-no hook for cargo
Comment:
Now I will describe how to fix the flaws. 1-Cover can be bought inexpensively in hunting and fishing. For fishing rods or other accessories. 300r is cheaper. 2-The hooks that come with inexpensive tripods are not reliable. If Sony didn't take care of this, then we do this. We drill a through hole. We insert a ring or a triangle (search for materials or find ourselves any tight ring from the keys, etc. Next, we buy an S-shaped hook (tourism goods for a fire or construction mat.) We hang one end on a ring, attach a load to the other. do not drill, we buy a cord like the one that stretches the tent or goes to the mountains. One end we wrap above the thrust structures on the pipe, the other we put on a peg in the ground. You can peg from the tent.Or we tie the end of the rope to the load and lay it on the ground (stone, brick, bag). If you use it at home, then the cover is not particularly needed and the hook of the load.

Advantages:
The most solid and high-quality tripod for your money - within 2 kilo rubles - the best. It is enough just to pick it up - all the parts are lubricated, the stroke is smooth, the plastic is of high quality, no gaps, etc. in short, you will not find fault. I reviewed everything I can. Manfrotto put it next to - rocked - Sony is not so hard, but it stands perfectly, not a single inexpensive aluminum tripod was lying around.
Disadvantages:
No cover yes yes
Comment:
Sony Malazzo!
March 25, 2011
Advantages:
Build quality. Even the plastic is of high quality, solid and without any burrs, etc. Solid weight (for me it's +). The head runs smoothly and is fixed securely.
Disadvantages:
There is no cover (but this is a trifle).
Comment:
For the price and for the layman, this is ideal.

Advantages:
- Excellent build quality and materials. - Compactness and lightness. - The presence of a vertical level. - Real working 3D head. - Amazing stability. - Possibility to adjust the length of each leg. - Very reasonable price.
Disadvantages:
- Lack of a carrying case (you will have to buy it).
Comment:
Today I bought it and tested it right there, it is suitable for both a beginner and an amateur with great experience! For a pro, it would also work, but I'm afraid that for a pro the maximum load is too small (if you add heavy steel optics (tele lens), a flash (with 4 AA batteries), an additional battery panel, then I'm afraid that the tripod will not stand up! I felt all possible options tripods, in this price range as a result I bought this one.When analyzing the prices, I found out that the minimum price in online stores is 1,700 rubles, but in addition to this amount, 400-600 rubles for delivery will have to be paid! In general, without further ado, I went and bought for 1990 at Sony Center! Buy you will not regret it, especially Sony camera owners!

Advantages:
1. Very high-quality performance 2. Sufficiently smooth movement of the 3D head 3. Compactness (rather high with a full layout, with my height of 185 cm I don’t squirm) 4. Beautiful appearance in black. 5. Removable platform for photos (put on a fotik and, in principle, you can not shoot) 6. Built-in level (it is also horizontal and vertical)
Disadvantages:
1. I don’t quite understand why there is no flip lock for vertical shooting. 2. No case included. (But there is a practical inexpensive case separately - MATIN (M-6654), length 59.5 cm 990 rubles.)
Comment:
I reviewed a lot of tripods for my Sonya A57, I took it not because Sonya to Sonya, but I really liked the workmanship, and a lot of plastic parts, but the plastic does not look flimsy. Wife when she saw asked probably 5-6 thousand off? So, what is the price of 1990 rubles? I think it is 100% justified. I recommend for purchase to novice photographers such as I.

Advantages:
value for money, optimal height. took in the states for $ 30.
Disadvantages:
pretty "shatable", there is no hook for the load from the bottom, but for this price, what else to take?
Comment:
for beginners with entry-level DSLRs without a heavy lens

Advantages:
The price / quality ratio is very nice.
Disadvantages:
It seems a little awkward to manage nodes.
Comment:
It justifies its price. And it looks very cool. I bought it as a gift for a novice video amateur. I have little experience with tripods, but sometimes I communicate with a more expensive sample of a well-known brand, I like this one even a little more.
