SmallRig CT180 Reviews

Finally a decision

By William
Rated 5 out of 5

After several hours looking at options online I finally wrote B&H for their ideas. This is one of four ideas they responded with. Perfect for my use, mounting a spotting scope with easy adjustment both up and down and horizontally. After a bit of head scratching, and reading the Chinese instructions (English too), it works great. All of this goodness in a reasonably priced product.

Initial impressions: high quality tripod and case

This is my first medium-priced tripod ($100-200), and I was very glad with the quality of the case. It's reasonably padded, and the material seems very durable. The zippers are also very good. It has small internal and external compartments to store small accessories. It's very comfortable to hold, but it also comes with a detachable shoulder strap if you prefer to carry that way. Contrary to what another reviewer said, you don't need to remove the head to fit the tripod in the case. You just need to turn the legs upside down and move the center column upward (that's how the tripod came anyway). The tripod itself also seems very durable. The fluid head is quite nice, and the legs are quite sturdy. I would prefer a clamp mechanism for the legs, but that's fine. Be sure to close the pan mechanism to really tighten the head before you start panning, otherwise when you pan to the left the head might come loose.

On SmallRig official website it says it has 15kg load capacity, here it says it only has 6.6lb or 3kg load capacity?
Asked by: Lenart
The head has a 3 kg (6.6 lb) weight limit on the SmallRig CT180 Video Tripod with Mini Fluid Head Kit V2, and the legs can support up to 15 kg. If you work with the head, the safe limit is 3 kg. See below: Head Load Capacity: 3 kg Tripod Load Capacity: 15 kg
