Review: Finally, a tripod that works for video! (From an amateur's perspective.) - I am not a professional. I am barely an amateur! I bought an inexpensive tripod at a big box store about 8 years ago and it finally broke on me. It was by a manufacturer that isn't around any longer so I needed to find something that would meet my needs. I shoot video for my wife's middle-school band concerts (she's the teacher.) I pan across the students during the concert. Now, I realize I'm shooting for a DVD for some middle-school students to watch and it doesn't need top quality panning, but I want quality. I also do some video shooting here and there for my kids, for my work, etc. Again, I don't need perfection, but I want it! So I have been searching a zillion reviews trying to find a decent tripod for video and all the reviews here on desertcart are all over the board! So I finally took the plunge and bought a mid-priced tripod for around $75. Although it claimed fluid head, it didn't have it. So I returned it and decided to spend the big bucks (for an amateur) on this one. First of all, this thing is sturdy. Very sturdy. It feels solid and is not some cheap plastic thing. I enjoy the height. It does not have a telescoping middle piece like so many of the other ones do. I thought I'd miss that, but it just adds to the stability and ruggedness of this. I'm 5'10" and it stands at about my mouth/nose level. My little Sony Handy-cam can barely be seen on the top of this thing! The tripod is a monster size for my little camera, but I'll tell you what, it is so smooth panning. Vertical and horizontal panning is the smoothest I've seen! I love this tripod so much! Pros: Very smooth panning vertical and horizontal. Easy to setup. Comes with an allen wrench to adjust tightness of leg closures. Quick connect is easy to use. Multi-positions available for panning arm. Rugged! The carrying case is a decent quality one! (Imagine that!) It's a monster! Cons: It's a monster! Large footprint for my tastes, but needs to be because of its height and ability to hold a decent camera. The price is high for someone who doesn't take lots of video, but it is worth it especially compared to what else is out there. I realize that many of you reading this are probably not the novice I am. But if you are a novice who wants quality in their videos, then get this tripod. I love it. Review: Perfect for the price - I'm a photographer. Make that second-rate. I'm a long-time journalist who started when we all shot black and white. But then I graduated to bigger newspapers and dragged around a full-time photog when I covered stories. However, the industry began to implode soon after I started in 1981 with papers closing or moving to morning publication. Of course, it got way worse. Toward the more recent past, I returned to small papers and shot all my own stuff again. I learned to shoot video and mastered some editing programs because of the call for social media presence. I got some outside jobs that required shooting events and had to get a tripod. After about a month of reviewing stuff and talking to my son and brother in law in the TV and movie business, they pointed me in this direction. I purchased the Magnus VT-4000 and wasn't let down. It takes a little getting used to, but the video quality is superb when the operator knows what he's doing. Granted, there was a bit of a learning curve to getting it set up quickly and making sure my Canon 7D Mark II was attached and functioning properly. There's a quick release so I can either get stills or if I need to chase down a particular subject. And the carrying bag isn't obnoxious so I have been able to get in and set up in the midst of big events with lots of people without causing too much disruption. I'm hard on my equipment but this has held up well, and I expect it will last a long time. ## Features - Supports 8.8 lb (4 kg) - 65mm Ball Diameter - 2-Stage Leg Design - Height Adjustment Range - 27.6" to 59" - Middle Spreader - Fixed Counter Balance - Fixed Pan / Tilt Drag - +20/-25mm Slide Range - With Quick Release Plate - Tilt Angle +90Β° / -60Β° ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008OM1GCW | | Best Sellers Rank | #841 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | Magnus | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 472 Reviews | | Folded Size | 30.3 inches | | Head Type | Fluid Heads | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 2.56"D x 2.56"W x 59"H | | Item Highlight | Two-Stage Aluminum Legs, Fixed Counterbalance, Mid-Level Spreader, Bubble Level, Fixed Pan,Tilt Drag Retractable Spiked Feet | | Item Weight | 7.9 pounds | | Leg Diameter | 65.00 millimeters | | Manufacturer | Magnus | | Manufacturer Part Number | VT-4000 VT4000 | | Material | Aluminum , Rubber | | Material Type | Aluminum, Rubber | | Maximum Height | 150 centimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Height | 27.6 inches | | Model Number | MAVT4000 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Screen Size | 59 inches | | Special Feature | Tripod Holder, adjustable-panning | | Special Features | Tripod Holder, adjustable-panning | | UPC | 757742384201 847628547674 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Weight Limit | 8.8 pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Magnus - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Item Weight:** 4 kg - **Material:** Aluminum, Rubber - **Maximum Height:** 150 centimeters - **Minimum Height:** 27.6 inches - **Special Feature:** Tripod Holder, adjustable-panning - **Tripod Head Type:** Fluid Heads - **Weight Limit:** 8.8 pounds ## Images ![Magnus Video Tripod System 2-Way Fluid Head, 65mm Ball, 8.8 lb Capacity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Bhn2r-fuL.jpg) ![Magnus Video Tripod System 2-Way Fluid Head, 65mm Ball, 8.8 lb Capacity - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616PpqUto7L.jpg) ![Magnus Video Tripod System 2-Way Fluid Head, 65mm Ball, 8.8 lb Capacity - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aGMJQ12tL.jpg) ![Magnus Video Tripod System 2-Way Fluid Head, 65mm Ball, 8.8 lb Capacity - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wVwlfZg1L.jpg) ![Magnus Video Tripod System 2-Way Fluid Head, 65mm Ball, 8.8 lb Capacity - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61toB0rkCSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the fluid head removeable to attach onto something like a slider or other rigs?** A: Unfortunately no. When the head detaches from the handle the screw remains on the bottom of the head. I had to buy a small manfrotto head to put on my slider. **Q: Will this tripod work with my canon vixia hf g20 and my canon eos 70d? lastly is this a good tripod for the money?** A: Yes it should work with both its should fit the standard tripod screw 1/4-20 and yes it comes new and I don't use it as much as I though I would but so far it is a very good investment on my part hope this helps you **Q: What it the overall height?** A: Maximum height is about 63 inches with all legs pulled out. **Q: Will the legs work with a Manfrotto 701HDV Head?** A: The place where the magnus head attaches to the legs is not flat, its a concave surface where the head sits. So it wouldn't work. :P ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a tripod that works for video! (From an amateur's perspective.) *by M***K on May 15, 2014* I am not a professional.

But, this has been a fantastic video tripod. I use it mostly with a Sony Handycam. Nice fluid panning in all directions. I like the adjustable head from the know underneath, no more messing with each leg to get the tripod level. The only disadvantage to that design is that the head does not raise any further from the top. So once the legs are all the way out, that is it, you won't be able to go any higher. It is a little heavy, but just fine for what I do. The bag it comes with is very nice, seems durable, but has no padding. There is no adjustment in the spreader (?) in the middle, it simply folds out. The leg posts are very nice though and seem to hold just fine when I cannot put the legs all the way out. All that is just due to the design type of this tripod, so I still give it 5 stars, would buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Magnus VT-4000 Tripod System with Fluid Head - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - Canon VIXIA HF G70 Camcorder 1/2.3” 4K UHD CMOS Sensor 20x Optical Zoom, 800x Digital Zoom, Image Stabilization, HDMI, USB Live Streaming, Time Stamp On-Screen Display Recording --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/434750-magnus-video-tripod-system-2-way-fluid-head-65mm-ball](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/434750-magnus-video-tripod-system-2-way-fluid-head-65mm-ball) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
