It's not Remote Controlled.
By John McGowen
It's a remote control tripod, meaning that it has a built in remote on the tripods handle to control a few features on the camera itself, it does not control the function of the tripod in any way; it is not motorized. Also, the recommended RM-AV2 Remote Commander is not necessary for any reason with this tripod. It is meant for tripods that don't have the built in remote. Built remote allows power on/off, zoom in/out just like the camera or do a slow zoom in/out, snap a photo and start/stop the video camera. As a functioning "Tripod" however it is easy to setup and feels very sturdy.

Fluid, Sturdy, Excellent Tripod
By Matt J. Rose
Wow I was really impressed when I took this out of the box. I started by setting up the tripod, fully extended the legs, attached the quick release plate to my Sony HDR-SR11, and plugged the remote handle into my camera.

First let me say this thing is very sturdy even on thicker carpet, its lightweight but solid and perfect for the HDR-SR11.

The remote features included are excellent and well worth the price alone:

Slow Zoom- This feature alone is worth the 70 bucks, its adds such a dramatic effect to your videos its great! Its set up very conveniently with a switch to activate/deactivate the slow zoom feature on the left side of the remote handle and a thumb controlled W/T rocker on the top of the control handle.

Guide Frame- This is also another feature not included with my camera, but added by this tripod. It actually proves to be kinda useful, especially when trying to get various people/objects in one shot. The grid drawn right on the screen (also appears in the viewfinder) is broke down into 9 sections to assist in framing and subject locations.

All in all I'm very happy with this tripod, I gotta shoot a wedding for a friend in June and this should do the trick very nicely, with a smooth fluid pan tilt, and the added features mentioned above I cant wait to see the final product.

Sony VCT-60AV - Perfect for Sony Camcorders
By Dakotamax2
Great tripod with remote controls for typical Sony Handycam-type operating functions (record start/stop, zoom, photo capture). Selectable super slow zoom feature really adds a dramatic effect. Pan and tilt are extremely fluid and are adjustable via tensioning knobs. I am 6'4" and the height is fine for me. No batteries are required since it is powered via the A/V jack on my HDR-SR11 camcorder. It stores easily in the included canvas-like bag. Extremely lightweight, stable, and well built unit.
