Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The award winning U 212 DX is world-renowned designing that has carefully evolved for more than 20 years. Designed primarily for light weight 35mm SLR cameras or compact film and digital cameras, it features a number of exciting design concepts that were born with the original U 212 and have been copied into other tripods world-wide. The U212 deluxe was one of the first tripods to feature speed release leg locks on three-section "NON-TWIST" squared legs that will not turn and have retractable rubber leg tips and spikes for sure footing on any surface.The quick release camera post is smaller than most quick release plates and can be left on the camera almost all the time, so the camera is always ready to be mounted on the U-212 DX's ultra-smooth 3-way pan-head. The head has a lens calibrated panorama guide to make 360-degree panoramas from multiple pictures. A geared center column makes fine height adjustments easy. A threaded mounting post on one leg lets you bring the camera down to just 8 inches (200 mm) from the ground for low angle photos, macro photography in the field, or copy work. The head also includes a bubble level for accurate vertical positioning.

- Very ReliableI bought the Silk Professional Universal Deluxe Tripod for my girlfriend a few weeks ago. She owns a Nikon D60.
She has said nothing but good things about this tripod.
I highly recommend this tripod.

- My two centI've had my Slick U212 since about 1988, my first and only tripod. Bought it used from a amateur photo shoot buddy. His thing was the Leica R4, If I remember correctly, while mine was the Olympus OM4 SLR.
Haven't used my U212 much since the days of photo shoots. Currently looking around to supplement the U212 with a ball head by Bogen Monfrotto and a binocular adaptor. Lots of searching and thinking with adaptors and bushings because Monfrotto is threaded for 3/8" while the U212 ... Read More

- Great TripodWonderful tripod, but the quick release head on it really sucks. Big time. I replaced it with one from another manufacturer. The combination is great.
Really, the quick release head his Slick tripod is terrible.

- Couldn't be happierThis tripod kicks butt. I've owned many over the years but this one takes the cake. It is relatively light weight but super sturdy. The geared center column is nice for fine adjustments. So many others are just slide type. The quick lock panhead is nice. It securely holds your camera in place and the sliding vertical support is great for those vertical shots. My favorite features are on the legs. The fact that you can unlock them and pivot them out a full 90 degrees is awsome! This allows for lower ... Read More

- Outstanding, durable and built to last!Let me tell you. I first purchased a SLIK U212 in the summer of 1981. I've taken it to deserts, mountains, beaches, you name it. It's been a consistent (no nonsense) workhorse all this time. Everything positive you've heard about this wonderful device is absolute truth. I've recently opted to become a wedding photographer and am purchasing another one of these miracles as backup.
You can pay more for one of those swank, foreign-sounding tripods. Or buy a SLIK and get out there ... Read More
