I use tripods to record videos for a music group. Is this tripod durable and heavy duty enough to withstand the vibration on the floor of dancing?

I doubt it. It is rather small and spindle for anything more than a pocket camera.

It's sturdy enough, but as a non-video photographer I don't know that this style of tripod would be the best for panning or following action. And as one of the others mentioned, it is kind of heavy.

Yes, you must have some weight hooked in the bottom of the column tripod to avoid shake. A camera bag works well as weight.

It can hold up to 5 LB I believe. Make sure you have a really good tripod to support the job.

Yes. However, it is pretty lightweight, so a DSLR camera won't be as stable as it would with a more heavy duty tripod. In my case, I'm using the tripod to hold a pocket video camera (Kodak Zi8) which is very light, so this tripod is perfectly suited.

Not really, what ever the surface is this will vibrate. I am a still life photog so I have not tried the video

You can tighten them and it will stay standing but I wouldn't trust it to be a tripod. Maybe only if you use a light camera and no one will be around it. I use it to film weddings. The feet help with stability while I'm filming.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

I used it on a tripod to record party videos, it's very secure and stable. The only problem is when using the direct electrical outlet/plug, the battery cover must be open.

The brand is Jamstands by ultimate support. It is not a heavy duty tripod. It cannot handle heavy weights. But it still works with Presonus mic.

Yeah, the legs are kind of cheap. We use the tripod each week to film our church sermons, and I don't know if we didn't take good care when setting up and putting away our equipment, but the legs were slipping and not sturdy. I don't know if we can get a refund or replacement.

This is a sturdy tripod. I have never tested it, but it should handle fifteen - twenty pounds.

If you open the legs wide enough so that the center support pole does not touch the floor, then its pretty sturdy. It was designed to hold an ipad and it works very well for that in my use of the tripod. This is a lightweight tripod, but pretty sturdy when using it as it was designed.

Yes., I trust this tripod. I've used this tripod from flat indoor surfaces to uneven river banks and have had no issues.

Not really sure but it might though not sure if the pads will adhere to the bottom of tripod legs. I use them to isolate speaker systems weighing more than 100 pounds each and believe they work very well for that. I would look at the weight rating of the pads and pick ones that match the weight of what you are supporting on them. There is no question the sorbathane material absorbs vibrations, but not really sure how much it will help in this situation.

Its a strong and heavy duty tripod but the most that I have tested with is a Dslr.
