Your cart is empty.The PRO 400 DX has many of the same professional features of the PRO 700 DX and even adds a few more of it’s own. Despite its lightweight and ease of use it can hold nearly 10 pounds of camera and lens. Plus the head is removable, so that a variety of other heads, like one of the SLIK ball heads or the Master Classic head for heavy telephoto lenses, can be used in place of the included 3-way pan head with quick release plate. The PRO 400 DX is an all-metal tripod, which is more than suitable for digital or 35 mm SLR cameras and medium format cameras. Speed release leg locks make the PRO 400 DX a breeze to set up and take down. The soft grip padded legs, and a folded length of just 25 inches make this lightweight tripod even more of a breeze to carry. MAX. OPERATING HEIGHT 61 IN MIN. OPERATING HEIGHT 13 IN MAX.

I had been using my dad's wooden WWII era tripod for years and while I'll always have a fondness for it - it's stability (or lack of it) and it's weight began to make photography less enjoyable. I received this tripod as a gift after dropping hints here and there and I love all it's bell and whistles. It's very sturdy, has a flexibility my old tripod could never hope to compete with and is lightweight and easily portable. It holds the camera steady so focus is never a problem. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Excellent tripod for the price. Great compromise between portability and strength without spending a fortune. It is hefty enough that I am totally confident in it's ability to hold my Nikon d7100 and 18-200mm lens securely, but not too heavy to take along with me. I wouldn't go on a backpacking trip with it, but it's very easy to take along in the car or on shorter excursions. It's very adjustable and can quickly adapt to a huge range of situations thanks to it's multiple leg locking points and various angles. Also, it can be mounted upside-down for even more versatility. The padded legs are a nice touch too, providing some hand insulation from high heat/cold environments, or just general comfort for shoulder carry. The only negative I can think of is that there is a little bit of play in the handle that swings the camera from landscape to portrait format – but it's manageable.

I have had this tripod for over 2 years now. It has performed beautifully. It feels very sturdy - I am comfortable with my 7d sitting on it fully extended. The only downside is the size and weight - it does not collapse to a very tidy size (making it fun when you are at the airport) - but I figure if you want something to last it needs to have a little size to it (unless you are willing to drop a little more $$$ on it) ... plus you need some weight if you are going to hold a 7d with some heavy lenses.I am not a professional (at all), but this serves me well on trips and when at family gatherings. When traveling, it fits reasonably on the outside of my carry-on (which is a Gregory day-pack) when looped through the gear loops - it is probably a little longer than collapsible trekking poles.

This is my first tripod purchase; I bought it for my Canon T2i. So far I'm really happy with it; I'm 6'4 and it stands high enough at full mass that I don't have to bend down too much. I have had it out in the mountains of Wyoming and it has performed well. It feels a bit heavy but gives a sturdy feel. The quick release is nice and feels solid when in place. My only complaint would lie in the clips that lock the legs at various angles; my hand seems to always find those clips and they release easily. No biggy, just need to watch where my meathooks land. Will definitely keep Slik in mind for future needs.

I gave a five star review because it is great for what the tripod was intended for. I wanted to use it for videography and am not happy with it because I didn't realize that I wanted smooth movements from start to finish during pans and tilts - well I did realize that I wanted that -but I didn't realize that I needed a fluid film head to achieve that effect. So I ended up spending $150 + on a different tripod head and a converter screw ($10) that will allow my new tripod head to fit on this tripod. I am keeping the product instead of returning it because I really like the tripod legs - they are super sturdy, and built to last. This tripod will be great for you if you are doing home videos, still photography (although you may want to buy a level to mount on your camera), or locked-down videography. However, if you want to do fluid-movement - you can take my route and buy this tripods legs and a different head.. or just invest in a fluid tripod made for film...... I feel silly for making the initial mistake, but thought I'd share in case anyone else was about to do the same. Again, I gave it 5 stars because it really is a great tripod for its own purpose.
