Our take on the SLIK F740 Economy Tripod

by Meredith Krebs

The SLIK F740 Economy tripod keeps your camera and camcorder steady. It's an especially good choice for camcorders because the 3-way pan head keeps the horizon line straight while you're panning and tilting. This tripod also works well for casual photographers who want to do portraits or time-lapse photography and need a stable base for a camera or camcorder.

Highlights:

  • supports digital cameras and camcorders weighing up to 4.5 lbs.
  • maximum height: 58-1/4"
  • 3-way pan head for smooth camera movements
  • lockable spreader to keep legs even and steady
  • quick-release plate for quickly mounting your camera
  • retracted length: 20.86"
  • weight: 3.2 lbs.
  • warranty: 3 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    SLIK F740 Economy Tripod

    Written By Dennis DB, Newark, New York on Thursday, March 15, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I previously had a Silk tripod bought in the 70"s. It lasted for many years and was lost in a move. So it was not hard for me to choose another one. It is just as I expected it to be: built nice and strong with easy moving parts and very good looking. This one came with a carry case that does its job. It is not heavy and easily moved around with one hand. I also like the removable piece that lets you connect your camera off the tripod then secure it back to the tripod easily and securely. All in all it is a great tripod and I have no complaints!
    Pros:
    Ease of use, sturdyness, looks
    Cons:
    None
