I'm a film student and I was looking for a tripod with these requirements [in order of importance]:1) Inexpensive.2) Fluid Head that allows me to do smooth panning/tilting with ease.3) Sturdy enough to last me a few years and through rigorous shoots.I'm lucky enough to have experienced with a lot of different types of equipment through my school, which enables me to compare the the Ravelli tripod to the other tripod brands I've used (mainly Manfrottos)..:PACKAGING/SHIPPING:.The tripod arrived promptly and was securely packaged. Everything had its wrapper so it didn't look used. However, I did notice a few very noticeable scratch marks on the tripod handle and on the tripod itself. I haven't contacted Amazon/CheetahMounts about it yet since it doesn't seem to affect the tripod's performance, but it does look as if it's a refurbished/used model.Pics of scratches:[...].:ACCESSSORIES:.The bag that it comes with feels a bit cheap, because the material is really thin, but it does get the job done. It has two different straps for you to carry either with your hands (like a briefcase) or on your shoulder (like a messenger bag).Picture of tripod with included bag:[...]The tripod also came with a mini tripod (!) which I wasn't expecting! It's basically for compact digicams, and it does have extendable legs which raises up to about 7 or so inches.There's also a backup camera plate..:QUALITY:.The tripod is really well built. From what I can see/feel, they used mainly metal and only rubber/plastic for the handles and the feet. The tripod feels really solid, but not too heavy or bulky. The camera mount also feels really sturdy. Overall, the construction is very good, but mine did come with some scratches and scrapes as noted above..:PERFORMANCE:.Like what the other reviewers have said, the fluid head is pretty stiff (even when the pan/tilt is loosened all the way). During certain pan/tilt movements, if you don't hold the tripod down, you may end up lifting one of the legs off the ground. This usually happens when I try to tilt from the lowest point to the highest point or vice versa. If you use your spare hand to hold one of the legs down, it isn't a big problem. Now, the head itself is very smooth. As you pan/tilt, you won't feel any bumps/jerks or sudden increase/decrease in resistance, but it does take some effort to keep a constant speed when panning compared to pricier tripods. It's easier to keep a tilt at a constant speed than panning, but I'm not sure if that's the tripod or just me.The legs are made of metal and should be sturdy enough if your camera stays within the weight limit Ravelli suggests. The locking mechanism is a big knob which makes locking/releasing your legsquick and easy..:PERFORMANCE TEST:.The video I'm linking is made with the Ravelli Tripod so you can get a sense of what you can do with it. I made the video after owning the camera for about a week, so you can probably get better results with more practice.I used the rubber band technique for all of the movements which I recommend for anyone who has a cheap tripod. Basically, you wrap a rubber band on the tripod handle and use it to maneuver the tripod rather than the handle itself. The rubber band should help eliminate some of the jerkiness.Link to [...].:CONCLUSION:.For its price, I would definitely say it's 5 stars. The fluid head is not perfect, but with some practice and the rubber band technique, you can still perform some amazingly smooth camera moves. It's also solid enough to last me a few years until I'm ready to upgrade, and even then, it's perfectly capable as a backup tripod. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Results on a Small Investment *by on Reviewed in the United States April 9, 2012* See UPDATE Below...The Ravelli AVTP Professional 55" 75mm Video Camera Tripod with Fluid Drag Head is great for an advanced amateur, but "Professional" doesn't really belong in the title. Mine missed the mark in its critical debut situation - live coverage of a one-time event.I purchased the tripod primarily to support my camera(s) when using a 4-foot slider. It is very secure, and affords the static support I need when moving a heavy camera end-to-end. Its weight allows me to use the slider to capture near 90-degree verticals without fear of wiggle.The Performance Breakdown:- It's heavy, so it stays put.- The Panning is stiff, but smooth (I suspect that will loosen with use).- The TILT, however, jumps at the start of any upward or downward motion. After I start, it is smooth. So for video I plan to edit, it's annoyingly acceptable, but for live applications, I can't really use it.The Value Breakdown:- Under $150 for a heavy, stable tripod with a fluid drag head? Good deal. Comes with a nice bag, and a bonus table top tripod, too.Shipping Breakdown:- Delivered quickly and securely in a massive 4-layer box.Bottom line: I would not recommend this to a friend without first asking what they intended to use it for. As a static support, it's great. For live applications, you may want to shop around.UPDATE - July 2012: Cheetah Mounts went out of their way to contact me both by email and by phone to turn even the slightest of problems into no problem at all. The courteous Customer Satisfaction rep offered a complete replacement tripod, but since I only needed a head, that's all I accepted. Got it, put it on, and Voila! A perfect tripod system.I own some considerably more expensive systems, and you would have a hard time telling them apart by performance. In terms of sturdiness? The Ravelli beats the others hands-down! It's is incredibly rugged, and a bargain on top of that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ WELL WORTH THE MONEY! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 11, 2016* I wish I could give this tripod a 4 and 1/2 star rating but I can't so I opted to do a 4 star instead of a 5. So, this is my fourth Ravelli AVTP Pro 75mm Video Tripod. Let's get some things (CONS) out of the way before I dive into it...CONS:YES...there are better tripods out there than this.YES...if they took the video head off the Davis & Sanford and put it on this one...LIGHTS OUT!YES...this tripod is on the heavy side (weighs about 11 lbs).YES...this damn thing is only 54.5 inches when fully extendedAND...did I say there are better tripods out there!?!So, why did I give it 4 stars.Well, for the money (the first three I bought, I only paid $100 but the fourth one I paid $156) this has to be one of the BEST out there. Currently, I'm not in the market to pay for a $1000 tripod. However, I needed something that was sturdy, could take a beaten and could hold some weight. I started building my rig up and it's gotten a bit heavy, which is kind of nice because I don't do a lot of shoulder rig shooting (I have a CAME-TV Vest rig for that). But, the added weight can be a great thing or can just suck and for me, it's been a great thing. I also use two of these suckers on dollys for my slider dolly (Glide Cam)...AWESOME versatilty.PROS:YES...this tripod & head can hold 27lbs of weight...yep...you read that right, 27lbs. Now, I haven't tested that yet BUT I've gotten as close as 20lbs and it's handled it like a champ. No sway, just solid BUT be careful when adjusting the ball head, that weight can get away from you really quick.YES...the tripod is heavy, which allows it to be very sturdy when putting on something that is light or heavy. I have yet to find ANY tripod less than $600 that can support the same amount of weight. Actually...nothing under $1,000. The head is nice, is it AMAZING, no, BUT, it is very nice.Just so I am clear, I was looking for something that could grow with me, support weight as I built my video rig AND this tripod being able to support 27lbs was the kicker for me. You really can't beat it. Yes, you can invest in a AMAZING video head (75mm bowl) and slap that sucker on the tripod legs, BUT that AMAZING video head will cost you some AMAZING money. This was one of my GREAT buys!One way that I've increased the height is adding the dolly but be warned, the wheels can make it sometimes difficult to pan smoothly.I guess I'm rambling now, but, if you are looking for a tripod that's sturdy, can hold a lot of weight, is a video tripod and a GREAT tripod for around $150, well, this is the one for you. If you can find one (video tripod) that's better at this price and can support the same (or 25lbs) of weight, then please let me know because I have yet to find one!Have any more questions...ask away! ## Frequently Bought Together - Ravelli AVTP Professional 55" 65mm Video Camera Tripod with Fluid Drag Head - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/1568646-ravelli-professional-55-65mm-video-camera-tripod-with-fluid-drag](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/1568646-ravelli-professional-55-65mm-video-camera-tripod-with-fluid-drag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
