This tripod could certainly seem attractive to buyers who are still impressed by the questionable use of carbon fibre (mainly on the grounds of appearance), but such items of relatively costly equipment are mainly sought by advanced amateurs or semi-professionals, who are likely to form a judgement on functionality and value, and those criteria suggest that better options are available. Though quite well described, this 'Review' could have been more useful and less confusing if the Presenter had studied the Owner's Manual before producing the video, rather than using a 'Stream of Consciousness' approach. At well over $300, the Value for Money is very questionable, and an appropriate aluminium alloy would probably be a better material for such an application. Above all, tripods are there to provide high standards of stability, and the lack of triangulation in this design is probably an error, because the device was seen to suffer from vibrations and oscillations even in the Presenter's studio, and would probably be practically unusable in an exterior location unless in a flat calm. Overall, this episode unfortunately suggested that objectivity was lacking, and the impression was that the Presenter was essentially promoting the product and not 'reviewing' it in an objective manner.
Hi John, I appreciate your feedback. Yes, it is a product promotion & showcase. And I think you have misunderstood as I have not claimed this is a review.
@@JosephKim Thank you for your response Joseph. No, I have not 'misunderstood' any aspect of your presentation, which if it was some form of product promotion should have been clearly stated as such, since those are the RUclips Regulations for such Content. Viewers have a right to be made aware of such matters before they invest twelve minutes of their time in viewing an Upload which portrays all the appearances of a 'review' in its structure, approach and the opinionating remarks it contains, which included questionable comments regarding value and functionality. I recommend that you make such an important distinction fully and unequivocally apparent to your audience in future Content. Best wishes for your Channel!
@@johnstedman4075 thank you. I respect the viewer's rights. RUclips allows promotional, product placement or sponsored content to be distanguished and it shows via message that shows at the biggining of the video. I personally feel that I have provided sufficient information for diligent viewers to make the distinction.
