I was looking for a sturdy, overhead rig for creating top-down tutorial videos. I needed something more stable than a boom tripod but take up less space than a duel tripod joined by a beam solution. The Glide Gear OH100 fit my needs and I purchased it after some pricing soul-searching as this product goes a bit beyond the usual photo & video extortion. Once it arrived however, some of my initial sticker shock melted away. First off, the packaging of the product was very well done and all the pieces arrived without any damage or scratches. Assembly was a breeze and the included instructions were well-written and complete. Functionally, it works as advertised and fits nicely on my tabletop. It is stable enough to hold my lights and SLR without any issues. I would appreciate another 4" - 6" in height but if needed, I can easily create an extension as there are already extra holes in the base that could be used to mount to a 4x4 or some other platform. The fit, finish, and stability of everything is excellent with perhaps the exception of an included phone holder which seems a bit cheap and plasticky. .. but to be honest, the original description didn't mention anything about a cell phone holder or the 2 L-brackets and clamps that can be used as a makeshift background holder so it's all a bonus to me. Quite frankly, I don't think the company's product photos do the OH100 justice as it looks and feels much better than I expected based on the product's marketing images & descriptions. Yes, I still feel it is pricy but if I had to purchase it again, I'd do it without hesitation.
