SLIK 700DX PRO

They could be lighter, smoother, taller, prettier, etc. Some people consider it as being better than the 055, regardless of price. The legs are highly rated and usually compared closely with the Manfrotto 055. It is also available in a legs-only version for 100. I've only owned a half dozen tripods over the past decade or so, but I do my research and I use my equipment regularly in real-world conditions and these legs have proved satisfactory. The Slik 700DX is not just a tripod-it is a tripod and head-and it sells for 140. Sometimes I attach the end of a slider to these, as a swingarm to rotate around bride and groom's rings for a shot that wouldn't be doable with any of my other tripods. Entire middle shaft fully extended for good stability at height. Half of the middle shaft removed and legs out side for super-stable low shots. I've used them in every configuration and at every height for photography and video. They're not clunky, they fit sideways through most doors on my cart, and the padding really helps with transport and comfort.

But these are super simple and I'm not trying to be funny when I say they're just plain slick. There are some cheaper legs I also really like. That's more than I can say for my intended upgrade, Manfrotto Triman legs.

I got a second set of these legs in 2015 and am actually using BOTH at every wedding. A professionals leg set with 30.2mm maximum diameter upper segments Dual alignment grooves on all leg segments eliminate leg twist and increase strength.

alloy has a 40 greater strength to weight ratio than standard aluminum, meaning the legs are lighter weight yet stronger than the standard metal used in most of todays tripods. I own cheaper legs, more specialized legs, and much more expensive legs but these are the ones I bring out first at every wedding I shoot. MODEL NO 700DX Product Highlights SLIK Super Alloy A.M.T. A groove in the circular tubing prevents the leg from spinning around, once the leg is extended a simple lock secures it into position.

It's August 2022 and I still use the Slik 700DX legs I bought on April 8 2010, at every wedding I shoot. The Slik Pro 700DX tripod with 3 way QR pan & tilthead is strong, stable and easy to use.
