Induro is the best for the money! I love my CT113. I had a Manfrotto for less than 1 year and had a lot of issues with it. The dealer allowed me to return the defective Manfrotto for the Induro. Best move I ever made!!!

I've been using Manfrotto tripods for many years, I do alot of shooting on the Coast of Florida and my Manfrotto was getting quite a bit of weather fatigue or salt water degradation so I was in the market for a new tripod, I post on many photography forums and have read many reviews from people on those sites about the Induro line, well today I ordered a CT214 and am very excited about receiving this tripod. I'm with you in that I want GOOD solid trustworthy gear supporting my expensive camera and lens' . I have used the Manfrotto style as apposed to the Arca Swiss style mounting plate and just due to my comfort level also ordered a Manfrotto ball head for my Induro tripod. Thanks for your video, we in the market find this information very useful Jim

I use an old velbon victory 451, i think it's about time to upgrade lol, i especially like that horizontal swing function.

This review was not about tripods, it was about the heads.

For filming in narrow areas would the tripod have to have the legs fully extended to function or can it stand upright while the legs are only slightly extended (almost collapsed)?

Two years back did all my homework and ended up with the CT 214 and the same ball head. Shot with Nikon full frame fleet and large telephoto lenses. Was the only logical chose.

Hi Craig, Noticed that the 214 only goes to 61". I am 5-9, so will this be a good shooting height for camera mount? Will be using a d90 with 300 f4. This tripod sounds like the solid model using the suggested ball head. Just not sure about the extended height. Thank you in advance.

i have a induro CT-014 and i have added RRS-BH55 ball head and was wondering if this would this be proper support for holding 1d mk 3 with 70-200 2.8 lens! or should i just get the CT214 to be on the safe side!don't ask how i ended up with the tripod '' it was my 1st as i though it would be a better travel tripod,thank you.

I use Induro CLT303 & AT214 with BHD2 & 3 ball heads. Both have been brilliant and easily handle my gear Nikon D500,610 &750 along with lenses up to 600mm and the 300 2.8 on a gimbal. In 3 years of use there’s nothing I can find fault with.

Please tell me they still ship with the original receiver? Please? I recently lost my induoro carbon tripod and bought a new different tripod because they don't sell induro anymore in my country. But to my shock the new tripod had this swiss type reciever you call it And words cannot describe how much I HATE it. The reason why I used to love induro is because they had a normal clip on receiver which makes for extremely fast, EASY, and secure switch back and off which I do a lot when I shoot. With the new receivers all tripods have these days tripods has become usesless for the walk and clip on/off.

Thank you very much!

what is a good set up for someone wanting to mostly do table top art videos? I have a Nikon d3400 camera that I use but sometimes juse iphone as well. Also if you have recommendations for lighting that would be appreciated. BTW like your knowledge base and personality is sweet and unassuming! Renee

Can you please recommend a good tripod for very long exposure please? I've got a Nikon D750 which is pretty big dslr and I am looking into a tripod that is not too have but not too light in order to do my long exposures. Thank you.

Hi Craig. I have sony a7r with 70/200 g lens. I was thinking of getting a induro ct. . 114 with. BHD 1 ball head. Do you think that is a good combo for general photography, or could recommend any other? Thanks.

Are those the same as Benro tripods? looks so simillar.

I am looking for the leg covers. Mine ate wearing out and falling apart. I can’t find what they are called and we’re to order them. And yes my tripod is an induro. Thanks in advance.

Hi Craig, can you shoot without the centre column? I'm looking for a tripod that I can set up very close to the ground at times. My current tripod is a cheap Manfrotto and the centre column prevents a close ground distance. Thanks!
