Well worth the money.

I went from a $45 most expensive tripod at Walmart, to this Velbon. For double the money, it's 10 times better. It pans super smooth. I've never worked with a tripod so fluid. Very quiet, unlike my cheapo tripods.
It's not a heavyweight tripod, but more of a traveling lightweight tripod. There's no creeping at all once you set the tension where you need it. My vertical tension adjustment had to be tightened as tight as I could possibly tighten them with my hands, and I have quite strong hands. Don't know if I had a faulty item, but it works for me.
The quick release is very large and takes quite a few attempts to get used to attaching. Would've been nice if it fit a standard Bogen release.
You can lock the vertical pan easily so you have only horizontal panning. Or vice versa. Great feature.

Great for the Price
rating: 4
My second tripod, I purchased this after buying my Canon Vixia HV-30 and realizing that It didnt have a LANC port, so I didnt need an expensive tripod with handle controls. The head on this is amazing, allowing for incredible pans. The head is extremely fluid with easy control levers. Its heavy enough to be sturdy, yet light enough to cary around no problem. It also comes with its own carrying case which is really convenient. The reasons I give it four stars: The head plate comes off easy, but when putting it back on the lever has come back and jammed into my fingers numerous times. One of the other main reasons I purchased this tripod was that I do a lot of night time photography, and this tripod allows for vertical shots. Having my heavier camera on there tilted all the way forward to do a vertical shot felt very unstable.
Other than that, all around great tripod.

Amazing

I've been using a cheap $20 tripod with my Canon HV20 and was skeptical about upgrading to a better tripod. I noticed there were a few jerky movements in my videos but they still looked decent. However, I decided to try this tripod after watching a couple of really smooth videos on vimeo and the price for this one wasn't too high. After trying the product out I'm amazed. The difference is night and day. The movement is fluid and easy. I really like this tripod and recommend it for anyone who wants to get a smoother look to their footage.

Pretty nice... for the money
rating: 4
The Velbon 607/F is a pretty nice tripod, especially for the money. I have been using it for a few months and really like it. The panning is smooth and the quick release platform is really nice.
Pros:
- smooth panning
- quick setup
- comes with a carrying bag
- lightweight
Cons:
- Since its lightweight you have to hold on to it when your panning sometimes because it jerks a little bit
Overall, its a great buy.
