@@johnktan4542 thanks for the feedback. Small rig just launched a new tripod collaboration with Potato Jet. I have not tested it yet but this does look like a more attractive/ lighter weight alternative. Link to video below. ruclips.net/video/jKEVcVaUy-o/видео.html

@@cvaughntbig Potato Jet & SmallRig fan too, but the Tribex might be too fast for my needs LOL😂! I occasionally cover protests and rallies and I’m sure it’ll attract enough attention for some one to kick the tripod legs (I’ve been reverse head-butted causing my EVF to slam into my eye socket-by another photo journo!) The trigger/clutch/hydraulics are making their marketing rounds as I think YC Opion’s new monopod has something similar…sour grape, but I’m happy w/my monopod SVM monopod for one handed, run-n-gun stabilization! Nevertheless, I’m sold on this SVS/SVH15 thanks to your twist-lock release! Let me know if you’re affiliated w/Sirui or I’ll give you a cheap plug when I get my YT channel up!

@@johnktan4542 oh man that sounds painful! The Sirui tripod will without a doubt be more stout. I’m glad I could help!

@@JDaddyT777 yessssss I assume it’s in the works! Now that this technology has hit the market it’s only a matter of time. I agree this would be more cumbersome than beneficial in your specific case.

@@yellecc thanks for reaching out. I just shot some footage panning with a 100mm lens for a walk and talk shot. I don’t have BTS but I can definitely make a RUclips short showing the footage.

@@cvaughnt It would be great. Thanks

@@ne0nlightz If Ulanzi sent me the tripod to review I would gladly! The head can be removed it is a 75mm bowl so if that fits your tripod then it’ll work. My only thoughts are if it’s a really small lightweight tripod it won’t be stout enough to handle the resistance the fluid head provides unless you weigh the tripod down. The heavy legs come with the stability to operate the head properly. Thanks for commenting let me know if I can help out in any other way!

@@clarkewoodfin glad I could help!

Thanks for reaching out! I have only felt this when I tried to literally hang my body weight on it just to see if it could hold my weight. It only slid a little bit and then I stopped, but I weigh 190 pounds so thats to be expected. I had the mid level spreader locked in when I did this test and I was surprised at how much weight I applied until it started to slip. The max load is 25kg or 55 pounds so any more pressure than that and it will start to slide. (In hindsight I probably should have done that test in this video) That being said if you are applying less that and it is slipping then I would first make sure that you are fully twisting the locking mechanisms once you have your height set it doesn't hurt to give them a little extra twist and try it again. After that if it's still slipping sub 55 pounds I'd contact Sirui. Please let me know if you have any more questions!

@@cvaughnt Thank you. I contacted SIRUI customer service and they showed me how to adjust the tripod legs. By adjusting the bottom fixing part of the tripod with the smallest hex wrench included with the product, I was able to adjust the fixing strength of the entire leg. After adjustment, the tripod legs were firmly fixed.

@@AkibaHirotaka Hey that’s great! Someone should make a video on that. I’m sure you’re not the only one that has experienced that.

Thanks for subscribing! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Ya I agree and there comes a time when you realize not everything has to be handheld with all of this dynamic motion in it. Some shots just need to be thoughtfully framed and left still or a nice smooth tilt/pan.

Hi, thanks for reaching out! Personally I got the 65cm so I could have something to work with in tight spaces.

@@cvaughnt thanks! I’m exchanging the 90cm to 65 now🥲 it was ginormous 🤡

Thank you!

Good luck on your camp in the Aokigahara forest. I’m looking forward to watching the video!

Timestamps added. Thank you for the feedback!

Yes I would. Make sure to turn off your room lights and just use the lantern unless you are going to match the kelvin of your room light. When I’m lighting a scene I always start by turning off all of the lights and adding one light at a time and moving them around until I find the look I want.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Just a heads up the lantern the comes with the 100W GVM doesn’t come with a skirt so keep that in mind.

Thank you so much!! I think after some more research I am leaning towards buying either a used aputure 120d or 120dii (I'm not too sure of the differences) as they are not too much of a price jump and seem to give lovely professional results. Do either of them stick out as a best buy to you? There's also the amaran 100 but i think a used aputure might be best. Thanks again!@@cvaughnt

@@chloeee6789 at the end of the day a light is a light. 120W is 20 more Watts than the 100 so it will be slightly brighter. How you use the light in terms of setup is really what’s going to make a difference. I can take any of those lights and make them look indistinguishable from one another when looking through the camera. The key is knowing how to shape light. Don’t get caught up by brand names instead focus more on what you need. Things to consider are: -Is it Bi-color? Meaning you can change the color temperature. (this is preferred) -Does it come with accessories, stands, or a softbox? (If not you’ll have to buy that stuff separately which will add up) -How much does it weigh? (In your case you probably dont need to hang it above your head with a boom arm or transport it around. So weight probably doesn’t matter) -Is it app controlled? If you are using an external monitor big enough that you can stand in position, see yourself, adjust the brightness up or down from your phone then app control is a good thing. If you don’t have a monitor that big you will likely just be going back and forth adjusting the light manually and looking at test shots so probably unnecessary. Let me know if this helps!

Hey thanks bro! It was nice to meet you!

@@cvaughnt same. I had a great time. I can’t wait for the next video to come out. Still have a little ways to go?

This is the Pelican V600 Vault Case online it says the interior is 21x17x9.5 inches.

Thanks brother!

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!

Thank you! We’re anxious just to figure out what the genre is going to be😅

I agree this is the best acting I’ve ever seen out of you😂

No problem. Thanks for watching!

It’ll always be in my bones!

James thanks for reaching out and sorry for the late response. I’d love to help you figure this out. -If you are confined when it comes to space I’d say get a smaller lantern. -When it comes to brightness. I only had my light turned up to like 7% when I turned it on in this video. The light I have is a 650 Watt light so it gets super bright! What light/lights are you working with?

Just seeing this now, so I totally understand and appreciate the response. I wound up with a 26 inch Aputure lantern (quick folding) with the Amaran 100d S and it works great. First I got the big one and returned it after it being bigger than I anticipated, but not a big deal. The real pain is configuring the other lighting to avoid dark circles under my eyes, but I found that LED video lights set in front of me and below the face, at about knee level, helped. Lighting solutions are a lot of work, but once you got it, you almost got it forever, with no adjustments, if you're filming in the same spot. I've not however uploaded any content with the new lighting@@cvaughnt s

It’s a thing for camera people. It takes pure will power to not buy anything at the camera store and a little fear instilled by your partner😂

You bet!

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

Glad I could help! Thanks for subscribing!
