Replying to my own comment? Yeah. A test so RUclips doesn't show me this on all my videos as an un-responded to comment. :)
I thought these were really expensive when I first saw them, but mounting cameras in different areas was a pain. I ordered three - impressed! Much more impressive in person. Well made, great product. Buying some more. Hope to see you back soon Kevin, everyone misses you.
Since I use only small cameras and tripods, I use the Arca quick release you showed (exactly the one) and removed the small screws on each side of the plate, so I can slide it out, instead of open it up completely, one small twist and slide. Is almost as fast and hassle free as your new system. What I don’t like about the iFootage is, that you can’t use long QR plates for adjusting position. It is always centered, which is not always preferred (i.e. cameras without centered tripod mount; or adjusting for center of gravity with a long lens or for nodal etc.) Other than that it seems great and suitable for professional gear.
Thanks Andreas. Really, the best use for these is to mount the video head under them and get the best of all worlds.
Looks pretty sweet - thanks for covering this!
You bet! Love these little suckers! Getting more.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Very nice. Thank you again.
You bet!
Sold... I'm going to buy these right now. Thank you for this video this has been on my list of "i need to find a solution before I go crazy" thanks for saving me a tonne of research. :D
Very welcome! These didn't exist before now. I had no idea I didn't have to tolerate the other plates anymore. Huzzah!!
@@BasicFilmmaker Its pretty amazing and actually not badly priced too.
@@SteveBrookfieldmusic I agree. Came right out of left field for me.
Thanks for this. Preordered one!
Awesome. I LOVE these!!
I love your reviews and i love ifootage
Thank you! I love iFootage products. Check out the references interview for cool stuff! :)
great video thanks
You are welcome!
WOW, those are fantastic ! Definitely going to get some.
They are awesome. Not sure if they apply to actions cams, but now that I mention it, I'm going to try it. Also want to see if I mount this to my mavic, if I can create a flying tripod (joke). :)
@@BasicFilmmaker : Haha, do it, do it, DO IT ! I can really use these for my larger cameras as going from one tripod to another and then a slider is such a PAIN.
@@WORTHITORNOT Right? I realize the biggest reason of having FOUR cameras in my studio is because they are such a PITS to move and set. BAM!
Thanks for the Quick Review, Kevin. Now have one on back order to evaluate it working on my 360 DSLR gear.
Sweet! let me know how they work with those. I think you’re going to be impressed, and like me, never think twice about moving stuff around.
@@BasicFilmmaker Canceled B&H backorder. Got a better deal directly through your affiliate link
@@HankMiner Oh, you mean through iFootage? Yeah, not really affiliate (don't care), but gets you 15% off or something which is great!!
Awesome product
It really is!
Considering these! It is a pain to have to unscrew everything to shift over to other tripods and devices.
Totally. QR plates works, but I LOVE these things. It takes me 5 seconds to move my cam from my live stream area to my main studio.
I've recently purchased quite a few joby gorilla pods. It is currently working for my situation. However I have a small camera (SL1) the moby build quality is plastic and plates lack consistency. I had to file one down so it would fit in my other joby heads. ARCA swiss good stuff but some camera plates have slider pins underneath that will not let you dismount a camera and place it on a table without it tipping over. The sea star appears to have a flush flat bottom that would remedy this. Thank you Kevin and congrats on 100k!
-Will
Hi Will and thank you. Are you planning on mounting this to the Joby? I haven’t tried this in small lightweight equipment like that. Interested to hear how it works for you. Thanks!
@@BasicFilmmaker I hadn't thought about using it on the Joby. Not a bad idea. I have just used the Joby heads as a cheap effective way to save time moving all of my microphones and cameras around on different tripods and Sliders and C stand overhead microphone rigs. I can buy just the swivel head and Camera mount for $40 or I can buy the whole tripod and head and Camera mount for under $20 gently used on eBay. Cheaply built it fits my budget and helps save time. But I am interested in the quality of the sea star and the flat bottom profile. Definitely on the list 4 upcoming buys. Thanks again.
-Will
That sounds great will. The reason why I question it is I wasn’t sure if you were trying to mount something like a little action camera onto a small tripod that was flexible or something like that. For a flat bottom on a tripod, a mono pod, etc., I highly recommend these as they are stable and make moving your gear A breeze.
I want one!!! Aaaggghhhh!!
They are wayyyy cool!
Oh wow, these look so sturdy/helpful. I’ve been using an older Manfrotto quick release and the little lock knob always gets blocked by the camera. Drives me nuts!
Yep. Drove me crazy.
Beta buy these then and retire the Manfrotto depresser :-P Nice to see the YT filmmaker community being connected.
@@andreasbuder4417 Thanks!
sold
Yep - I'm getting more. :)
This is cool, Kevin. Do you think I could mount the base of the Seastars Q1 to an On-stage MA-100 or MA-125 screwed onto an On-stage TM08C bolted to a desk?
Huh. I actually don't know but I don't see why not. A cool idea. I've been thinking cameras this whole time and didn't even think about other items. Neat! Going to try some things like this.
I have to get some of those Get video Kevin you sold me
👍
✨A✨W✨E✨S✨O✨M✨E✨✌🏻
I LOVE these!!
have follow your video translate titile description.How can i search my videos on that translate title description video on that new language.thank you
I actually don't know how to do this. Sorry.
Does each kit come with one top and two bottom plates? Or just one each, meaning you must buy more than one kit for it to be useful at all?
Both the top and the bottom. The you can separately get as many as tops and bottoms as you need, or just buy kore do the full kit.
Do these rotate once mounted? I mean is camera facing forward or can it attach in different directions .I use the small square QR plates which go in one way.
These twist and lock in place. I would normally use these under a video head and have multi-directional angles both pan and tilt.
@@BasicFilmmaker So not for use with 75/100mm heads, no option to balance e.g. on a gimbal and not rotating. Seems like a very limited product to me.
@@luckyqualmi That's cool - not for everyone. When I mount to gimbals, such as the AK4500, I always mount the Seastars to the QR plates on there so I have the best of both worlds.
It’s about that time when we get new video tune in background
Guess so. Time to buy some more music. :)
Is there a locking mechanism incase you don't hit the release switch. Are you worried you might accidentally unlock it while working?
It clicks and snaps into place. No way it would come undone without grabbing two of the tabs, and twisting it. It takes a definite effort, so no worries about these ever coming undone.
@@BasicFilmmaker Thanks it makes me feel better knowing its secure.
@@Design475 For sure. There is no doubt when it locks into place - big click and camera seats itself with no play.
Do the Seastars allow for camera and lens weight shifting/balancing?
They don't need it really as they hold up to 20 pounds. For applications, I would these under a video head. If that small amount of front to back adjustment is needed for some reason, I would mount these under the slider mount.
I also question the balance for pan/tilt.
@@timtrottproductions Again, using with a video head is the best option. I mount the Seastars base plates to everything, then mount to connector to the video head and camera like I did in the start of the video.
How is Komodo K7! really interested in it compare to something like Sachtler Ace M head;)
It is awesome. I don't have the Sachtler so hard to compare, but if you know the Sachtler you'll be able to see the differences and similarities.
@@BasicFilmmaker Thanks for reply! I had tried the entry level Sachtler and now I have the iFootage TC7 with K5, K5 is fine but do not have the smoothest feelings consider pan and tilt, as you have them both, do you think K7 improve quite a bit smooth wise?
@@chennyye28 The K7 does indeed. You can see some of the features in this interview with iFootage: ruclips.net/video/4Z_Bj2gMvnE/видео.html
@@BasicFilmmaker Cool, thanks a lot!
You bet!
and how do you SECURE your very expensive gear? i bought this item, but i m note sure if i will keep it. cause i want to ensure, that it couldnt release by accident.
If it’s clicked into place, there’s no way it’s coming out. Try it.
Hi!!!!!
Hello Mr. Paul!!!!!!!!
it just needs a leveling system included and it needs to be less expensive
Yeah. I’m ok with no leveling system as I have other methods, but would be nice. Also OK with the expense when I got my hands on these as they are rock sold. Spend a ton of money on other crap, then again, then again. For me, it’s nice to finally get something, although more expensive, will last a lifetime IMHO.
@@BasicFilmmaker A leveling system can be easy to include by adding something like Neewer Tripod Leveling Base with Offset Bubble Level...
I believe it's good and will probably buy it, but for the price I might also consider buying a new ballhead instead.
Has anyone used one with a gimbal?
I have. Just mounted to the plate and worked great.
@@BasicFilmmaker that’s great news. I bought the Crane 3 Lab last year and am finding myself frustrated at the limitations of by being stuck to the gimbal. Tbh I am gutted at the updated designs that have clearly integrated quick releases based on feedback. This gives me hope. Would you make a video about it? I bet there’s a few folk like me who’d be super interested
$69!!!
Yep, they're not for everyone, but, the others (that are worth a crap) are around $30. The cheaper ones are terrible. Although these seem expensive, they are now my go to, and I'm ordering another 4 sets. That $69 saves me time and frustration, an in my book, worth the money.
I like the content but could you upload to a reputable website? I hate watching anything on this pathetic you know who runs this website. Thanks
You mean RUclips?
@@BasicFilmmaker Yes. I love your videos & learn alot but I hate this site because I cannot upload any quality content. Creative content creators like myself are simply not welcome on this website. I cannot even comment on most videos, it's a 100% censored garbage platform and therefore not reputable. There are other sites out there, (the one I use begins with B, but can't say the name because the comment will be ghosted or deleted) will mirror your videos automatically once setup. Then I can watch your content on a reputable website that does not censor everything to the point of being fake. Thanks
@@despicablemaine160 Huh.. I just learned something. 👍
Maybe upload something other than overtly political content?
@@BasicFilmmaker You make awesome videos, they are well spoken and well edited. Keep up the awesome content. I enjoy your videos and would like to see them on alternate platforms. Thanks
