The media could not be loaded. Here is my transcript from the video! This is my review for the Joil-can tripod. Here's the tripod. I'm holding it because I usually use it to do my reviews on. It's really good, it's really good, it's really good. And it's well, well, well worth the price because here's why. It's lightweight, but not too light because you want something sturdy that's gonna have some basis for the camera. It's got a bunch of different controls on it. Oh, it's even got a spirit level. I didn't even realize that till I just started doing the video and saw it in reverse. Okay, it basically, it does a tilt, it does a pan, it does up, down. It can go, so you're up, it can take you down. It's a good one. I've used lots before. And what I like about this is, sure there's plastic rings to it, but it's basically aluminum, aluminum, they say here in America. And it makes it stronger and it's firm. And that's important because if, you know, someone accidentally knocks it, it's gonna be nice and sturdy. I took it to Hollywood. We were going to a museum there and wanted to do some selfie stuff, ton of fun. It's called Museum of Illusions, by the way, a lot of fun, or House of Illusions. So I'm very, very happy to give this a five stars out of five stars. And I like this. It's the color, sort of like a burnt umber, orange hue, sunset over Malibu. All right, there you go. That's the review. Hope it helps. Read more
I have some 25 x 100 binoculars that weigh 10 lbs. It's hard to find an affordable tripod that's tall enough and sturdy enough to support my binoculars while I'm standing. I tried a cheaper tripod, but it was shaky and lightweight. The ball head and panning are smooth and allow you to look around with the binoculars while giving good support and they lock solid when you want them to stay put. This tripod is sturdy and is definitely worth the money. You can unscrew one of the legs and use it a a monopod also. Read more
I’m very satisfied with this adjustable, easy to use tripod. It’s very sturdy and compatible with all of my scopes and holds my phone securely. Read more
It’s a nice sturdy tripod. Good features and capabilities. The last time I used it I found white pieces of plastic coming from inside of one of the legs and then the whole leg came off. It don’t hold it anymore. Do joilcan sells or have parts or is it fixable? Thanks. Read more
On first impression, the Joilcan H80 is chalk full of features and is (for the most part) solidly built. Out of the box, it contains a carrying case, 3 allen wrenches (one not pictured), two quick release standard plates, an extension tube, a small felt pouch, a ballhead mount, and of course the tripod. The ballhead is hefty and solid. All the knobs are well dampened and feel secure- no jangly bits. The leveling bubbles are a nice touch. This ballhead controls nicely, however when mounted on the tripod fully extended you might find that it's a bit out of reach. On that note, 86" is nothing to scoff at, and with the extension tube attached this tripod can reach hilarious heights. That said, you probably wouldn't want to max out the height unless on solid ground and weighed down (there is a spring loaded hook on the bottom that stows and offers a hook for bags/weight). As a drawback to the height, at full extension, the legs get quite small and fiddly. There's a lot of give in the joints that may be insecure in precarious circumstances. In regards to traveling the tripod is certainly compact, but with the weight and height of it, it may still be too bulky for prolonged adventuring. As described, one of the legs detaches to form a monopod. The ballhead can stay mounted, or the screw on the top of the tripod can be flipped to accommodate other attachments. The monopod can extend to the same impressive height, but because of the loose nature of extending the leg fully, I would not put much weight on it. Definitely not a hiking stick. All in all, for the price this is a fantastic tripod. Well built, and sturdy for casual use. I would use this on some of my professional and casual shoots; but for hiking, a more compact tripod would be in order I think. Regardless, for the price and features, this tripod is a 5 out of 5 purchase. May update after prolonged use. Read more
Professional photographer here. I'm a wedding and event photographer, as well as a nature photographer for over 15 years. Put it in the cart. I own one of those huge telephoto lenses. You know the ones you can take a photo of a tick on the back of a deer from the next state over and it looks like its in the palm of your hand. One of those lenses. This thing doesn't even flinch at a giant camera. It's heavy duty, as in its sturdy doesn't wiggle anywhere on any of its joints. Has a wonderful handle on it to pick it up. Comes with a GREAT case. Another huge thing I love is the way that the plates come off of the top. When you're releasing the camera from the tripod you have to unscrew a little spot that releases the plate. I find this to be much better than the old style flip handle that I've had on other tripods. 100% would recommend. Great price too. Read more
