Be warned it doesnt come with a free bag and too long for regular gym bags. He also mentioned that as the Slik is a very old line product as its pretty heavy might want to reconsider getting a more modern CF tripod instead but i bought the Slik U212 anyway at $125 using Marina Square voucher as well. The U8000 model arrived today and they are fabulous. I especially love the 'speed release leg locks'. I have been using the SLIK U9000 for the past year and absolutely love it.

I was served by Patrick whom i have bought things previously from and he patiently showed me how it works. The SLIK brand tripod was referred to me by a professional photographer to use with Speedlight's when photographing home interiors for real estate. I was set on buying a $400 setup at Cathay Photo Marina Square when i noticed this tripod. This is supposedly a heavy tripod but to me quite okay the weight. The head also includes a bubble level for accurate vertical positioning.I found this Made in Japan tripod when nearly give up looking for a inexpensive yet solid tripod which by logic means it will not be light.

A geared center column makes fine height adjustments easy.Ī threaded mounting post on one leg lets you bring the camera down to just 8 inches (200 mm) from the ground for low angle photos, macro photography in the field, or copy work. The head has a lens calibrated panorama guide to make 360 &Mac176 panoramas from multiple pictures. The quick release camera post is smaller than most quick release plates and can be left on the camera almost all the time, so the camera is always ready to be mounted on the U-212 DX's ultra-smooth 3-way pan-head.

I never thought that I would need a manual for a tripod but there are a lot of bells and whistles on this thing. The U212 deluxe was one of the first tripods to feature speed release leg locks on three-section 'NON-TWIST' squared legs that will not turn and have retractable rubber leg tips and spikes for sure footing on any surface. I just became the very proud owner of a used SLIK U212 Deluxe and considering I always had crap tripods I am very, very, very pleased. Designed primarily for light weight 35mm SLR cameras or compact film and digital cameras, it features a number of exciting design concepts that were born with the original U 212 and have been copied into other tripods world-wide. The award winning U 212 DX is world-renowned designing that has carefully evolved for more than 20 years. In addition, the tripod is right, is quick to adjust, it is. A threaded mounting post on one leg lets you bring the camera down to just 8 inches (200 mm) from the ground for low angle photos, macro photography in the field, or copy work. It's not really the thing you would want to lug along on a two or three day wilderness trek.All in all I like this tripod. The Slik Universal U212 Deluxe Tripod is very reliable, is new, it is going strong and has a compact design.

There is a little loss of stability at full height due to a slight column wiggle but at high shutter speeds it's not noticeable.The one complaint I do have is the weight of the tripod. Find low everyday prices and buy online for delivery or in-store pick-up. As I am quite tall, I like the full extension height of the column.

had the tripod operational again in less than 30 minutes. The patented design creates a solid slip free connection between the post and camera to. The metal post includes the industry standard 1/4 20 thread for mounting to film and digital cameras. The longest lens I have used on it has been a 500mm and the tripod performed beautifully even with Semi-trucks going past at 65 mph less than 15 feet away.(I was feeling the effects of their going by) I have experienced the clamp cracking problem myself and was able to purchase a replacement clamp from Slik Co. The Slik quick release post 6121 (618-752) is the replacement 1/4 20 thread QR post for the U212, U212 DX and other legacy tripods. For me it has been a solid, stable platform for night shots, Macro work, floral and Landscape photography. It can make very unusual leg configurations to accomodate almost any situation. It was marketed as a U212AF with their pistol grip ball head instead of a typical pan/tilt head.( Slik AF-2100 Pistol Grip Head (Quick Release) 618-210 B&H Photo). I have had my U-212 for 16 years now and Have no major complaints. I have a Slik U212 that I bought ages ago.
