M25 Matthews Tripod in the Field
We found the M25 to be a good complement to our video gear. We took it from location to location with ease and mounted our Panasonic DVX 100B camcorder without a second thought.

Good balance and stability overall. The center spreaders are minimal, but they do their job and they don't get in the way. We were able to use them even when a quick breakdown was called for.

----------

For old school purists we also us a Miller head on a 50’s vintage set of wooden sticks. It’s the maximum of stable with a 100 percent smooth pan and tilt. This gear has 50 years of in the field testing and has proved itself over and over. The head has been reconditioned in the last five years and is the best option for an in studio fixed position or camera dolly application.
