The ProVista 100 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with 100mm Bowl from Davis & Sanford is a workhorse of a tripod that provides heavy-duty support for video cameras. With its 100mm bowl, you can attach any professional video head (sold separately) with a corresponding 100mm half-ball for precise leveling. With double-strut leg construction for the upper section, this tripod can take just about any load – the ProVista 100 supports up to 80 lb.
The tripod reaches a maximum height of 60" and gets as low as 14", and its adjustable floor spreader accommodates any height in between to provide added support. Adjustable flip locks mean that leg-section locks will not simply "give out" over long periods of time – you can tighten them to maintain the ProVista 100's integrity. Even with the spreader included, the heavy-duty tripod weighs just 8 lb.

Comments about Davis & Sanford ProVista 100 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with 100mm Bowl:
Tripod looks nice but when you extend it and put about 20lbs of weight the legs give out. It says it can hold 80lbs but only with the legs down. Once you extend the legs it takes about 20lbs of weight before legs give and slide down. I have attached a 35lb jib and can only use it at the lowest height, whenever I try to extend the legs, the legs give and it slides.
