The Sherpa 750R is a well-built tripod that is strong enough to take the everyday abuse that comes with professional use. One interesting feature is that the central column is wound up and down with a ratchet handle, making the process easy and precise. The three-way head works with just one pan-handle, which means the tripod can be folded down and put away very quickly. The Sherpa’s feet are flat and rubber, which is fine when working in the studio or indoors but for outdoor photography, it would have been nicer to see some spikes. It's a reasonably lightweight tripod and the build quality is very good too. This unit is suitable for amateur photographers of all levels and is a good choice if you want a reliable and affordable general purpose tripod.
Verdict
A strong tripod that should last for years and is quick and easy to use. The Sherpa 750R is a good safe choice for all photographers.
