Yes, most times they are not needed, however, sometimes you do come across situations where the spikes help to dig in the ground further and increase stabilization.
Yes, I believe the max weight is about 16lbs
Will this Tripod work with a small Camcorder?
Thanks but I already bought the tripod and now I am looking for a ball head that will suit to it. It’s a very nice tripod!
I bought a Dolica CX680P108 Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ pan head.. I wanted to replace the head with ball head, Any recommendations?
I’ve never understood what those spikes on the bottom of the legs are for. Shooting on a sheet of ice during a wind storm I’m guessing. (??)

Get ground level and cut off as much center column as necessary.
Lose weight too for you backpackers
Your shirt is causing some moire effect.
Nice revew.. I just ordered the ZX600b300 from Newegg for $99.
thank you!! this helped so much, I’ve been trying to find a good tripod for a good price so this helped a lot
did you ever make the video to mod it to go lower?
hey man no prob i understand
This is coming soon. My apologies, I am in some website/review transitions and will be uploading many videos soon.
hey cant seem to find your full review where you said you replaced the bar cause i want to see how to do tht
It is a panhead carbon fiber tripod. According to the spec, that tripod is not a compact tripod because of the panhead might be heavy. It is probably mostly use for studio photography or video purposes. I personally prefer ballhead over panhead because of the flexibility… The CX620B104 is a little cheaper and it is a ballhead (lighter too).
what u guys think about the Dolica CX680P108
u meant AX?
Dolica AZ620B100 62″ Tripod, but if you just type in 62″ tripod in google, it should pop up, its the only 62 they make I believe.
you won’t believe it
now it is for 35 $
what is the model name??
good tutorial, i just saw this at low price on amazon and just bought it. have not received it yet but it looks good
Wow your really good at showing and explaining this!! This is a really good explanation of the tripod. good, clear voice, and very understandable! Thanks!
Any chance you can put that video of the mod you did to where you bypass the extending tube?
i thought that was my phone vibrating from the video haha. Anyways great review. I think for the price this seems pretty good. $39 on Amazon is why I wanted to look it up. Im no professional just need something so I can take multiple exposures for HDR images.
Again Thanks!!
your video is very helpful to some viewers who are into budget of getting a CHEAP Tripod. Actually, I got the same model Dolica AX620 last month too (March 2011), and the price was $39.97 at Amazon…plus shippment, for a total of $43.75. YES it was really a BEST BUY, and I never regret on getting one. This Dolica Tripod may not be as heavy duty as to some professional tripods, but looking into this….. this looks professional for an entry level photograhers.
