Strengths: Remote control handle Stable, balanced High quality
Weaknesses: Price
Summary: Unlike most tripods, this utilizes the same technology expected under most professional conditions. To avoid any camera shake or vibration, the handle provides the basic controls you need. A solid performer, but shop around as you will that the price varies a great deal between camera stores. Many will sell this accessory at a premium since it is often bundled along with expensive equipment priced as a loss leader.

3 Star ReviewSony VCT-870RM Remote Control Tripod.
Strengths: workable substitute for the real thing.
Weaknesses: The unit does not have the same feel as the original. The crank handle to extend the elevation of the camera base does not feel as sturdy as my original. Additionally, the connector does not seat firmly in the receptical in the handle. It keeps fallin
Summary: A workable substitute for the original. However I do not have the feeling of confidence it will last as long as my originall which has given outstanding service over the last three years. I would not recommend purchase of this product to a friend.
