Due to smaller and higher performance hand held camcorders constantly entering the market, the industry enjoys an increasing demand for tripods and heads for such camcorders. Depending on the application or budget, you can choose either the TH-950DV (which uses a common head and provides easy setup with a lever operation), or the sturdy professional LS-22DV. Ever since it was introduced, the competitively priced high performance TH-950DV and LS-22DV have been the world's most popular tripods in their class.
