Great quality & features
VCT-VPR1 07 September 2015 by Princer87 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I bought this in aug15 used it loads already I've used it to do sweeping panoramics, the head is spinning smooth flowing the pictures come out perfect every time. I've also used it to do slow exposure photos of waterfalls 'brilliant' although i had to take the remote off the tripod to shoot (slow exposure) as im a bit heavy handed and moved the tripod just enough to create blur when touching the shoot button. Another great feature is the level bubble its in the perfect place, easy to see & use. I just use the legs to level is up by setting the tripod up and adjusting one leg at a time to suit. Easy with the 3 quick release clips on each leg. Overall great tripod with great features and build quality.

Just bought it and connected to my A7 camera. Looks great! However, the power light on remote is on green but none of the buttons works. No troubleshooting on menu instruction. Very frustrating.

Wish it was better
VCTVPR1 06 June 2021 by SamP13 (USA)
Bought to use with my AX53. Controls were great but the tilt on the head doesn't work great. You have to have it pretty tight or the head will lean back. This leads to shaky videos when trying to tilt at all. The tripod is nice, light and sturdy. Wish the head was better quality.

Best investment ever

I have owned this tripod for about three years now. Each time I use it I am happy to have it. It has got to be my best investment into video that I have ever made. This connects directly to my HDR-PJ540 and works first time, every time. No more jumpy video when I am trying to zoom in our out. I can take still photos while recording. And all with my hands off the camera. I haven't had any problems since purchasing and would recommend this to any Sony camcorder owner that wants a tripod.

Very lightweight, versatile, adjustable.
VCT-VPR1 29 March 2018 by Amigo Kandu Media (USA)
Been using the VCT-VPR1 with Remote Control handle for filming live videos of kids sports games, and cultural dancers for my YouTube channel. The zoom control in handle allows you to follow action smoothly. I wish Sony would make bigger heavier, taller model for outdoors. I have years of use, still work great.

Hi, Ssippi, Sorry to hear that you are having this issue. You may try to detach and reattach the remote commander and check if that will resolve the issue. For more details, check out this page: https://docs.sony.com/release//VCTPR1_EN_ES_FR.pdf. We will forward your information to the proper department. Thank you for your feedback. -Vincent
Excellent Tripod
VCTVPR1 20 June 2017 by Armin34 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
This is an excellent tripod for the money; however, I wish it wasn't using the Multi link connector for the remote commander. Therefore, I would need to upgrade my Sony HandyCam camcorder to a newer model like the new Sony 4K HandyCam camcorder in order to use the Multi link remote commander.

Great remote; lousy tripod
VCTVPR1 26 July 2015 by socalemc (USA)
Tripod is junk. It is flimsy, short, and does not effectively hold the weight of the AX100 or AX33. Remote is great and, more importantly, removable. I bought this so I could use the remote on a Sony VCT 870 tripod. The remote came off just fine and attached perfectly to the older, more sturdy tripod. The remote alone is well worth the price, if you have a nice tripod to attach it to. The 870 had an older LANC remote but is a really sturdy, 6-foot and lightweight tripod. I hated to lose it because of the loss of LANC; however, with this remote my better tripods have renewed functionality. I ended up buying two.
Hi socalemc,
We're sorry to hear that the tripod failed to meet your needs. But we're glad that at least you were able to use the remote. Thanks for your feedback.
lightweight, simple
VCTVPR1 09 January 2014 by Lief (USA)
The tripod when well with my HDR CX7 camcorder. It has controls on the handle that operate the zoom/record/etc. It has a level. A height adjuster. If you have a heavier camera then it would be top heavy and you would need a heavier duty tripod.
Not compatible
VCTVPR1 18 December 2013 by a57lover (USA)
I have a sony alpha 57 which is not compatible to the output... is there an adapter or a different cable to buy? Otherwise it looks great and feels great.
