Davis and Sanford Pro Vista Airlift Tripod with fm 18 fluid head - video review I hate buying stuff online and trying to figure out how things work based on vague technical specs and tiny pictures, so as a public service, I decided to put together a little quick and dirty video review (with a little humor thrown in...I couldn't help myself.) Overall, it's a good tripod for the money, but there are some features that could and should have been better designed to make it more convenient to use. Sorry about the sound. I noticed it on the final check and didn't feel like going back to correct it. Some minor things I noticed that are not in the vid: The main screw on the QD plates is removable, and can be switched out for a larger one that comes attached to the tripod head. The head sometimes makes a slight squishing sound when you pan. It is very faint and probably would not pick up on a mic, especially in a film setting where the mic is on a boom some distance from the camera...but it is kind of weird. I've seen people complaining about a weird smell on message baords...I did not notice any odor except for a very faint (and not unpleasant) smell of plastic and metal and grease...it just smells like a new tripod. The airlift feature does not really do what I hoped, but the tripod is so tall you don't even really need to use the center column, unless you're a giant...I'm about five seven, and even with the center column down, with the legs fully extended, the tripod is about ...
