Smith-Victor Apollo 2800 Reviews
Worthless for video
By Chris
Rated 3 out of 5

It met my expectations for the price in terms of stability and design, but the head is not adequate for any video that requires panning. When you start in any direction, the resistance is unpredictable, and that makes smooth pans and follows impossible. If you need it for still photography, or minimal video panning in one direction only, it might fit the bill for the price.
Ease of Use

This trip is stong enough to hold my camera and lenses. It is easy to set up. I find that it is not as easy to use in fash changing situations. Specially on a moving target. Best used in a studio situation or landscape photography with a stationary target.

question
Can this be used with a canon 60D dslr?
I didn't use it for a DSLR. It has a standard thread on the mount and the slide in mount is adjustable for balance. It can be adjusted forward and back to balance it out. It's OK for what it is.
