I just bought one on sale for $44. I plan to use it for college football tailgating to mount satellite dish. Will most likely hang a weight for when someone bumps into it. Thanks for the video showing features.
That's for sure, not only that but I've been using my this summer to mount my Ridgid Stealth Force fan on also so I can point it right where I need it to keep me cool! It is one awesome tripod, probably the best I've ever seen! Definitely will worth the money!
Yeah I love this Ridgid Gen5x Tripod and I love the triple mounts, I can mount my Ridgid Gen5x Hybrid Panel Light, 18volt Flood Light and my 18volt Hybrid Fan on it all at the same time! I use it constantly, this summer I have been using my fan on it all the time and I use my Hybrid Panel Light on it all the time to and raise it all the way up so I can light up a whole room! The 18volt Flood Light does good on it as well but it has such a small footprint and so many mounts I usually don't put it on the Tripod I just pack it to where I need it, still I think this Tripod is a must have item if you have any of the Gen5x lights or even just the fan!
@@t41flyer That would work great, those panel lights are awesome, I actually have a video review on mine. I also ended up buying a second one since I liked it so much!
If your serious about having a tripod then I'm pretty sure you will keep this one. it's the nicest tripod I've ever used, it extends and retracts easy and having the ability to mount 3 things at once is awesome or you can mount just 1 thing if you want as well plus it has lots of cool features like the adjustable leg for uneven ground, the bullseye level, the nice carrying handle and the hooks on the bottom that you can attach weights to so it wont become top heavy and tip over, etc.
Thanks, I am glad to hear it, I usually don't get to many comments and never so fast lol. I like putting up videos cuz I have fun doing it and I noticed no one had a video on the Ridgid Gen5x Tripod so I figured I would get one on here! Amazingly I have the only video review on the Ridgid Gen5x Radio with Bluetooth too and that video is 6 months old and still no one else has made a video about it, it blows me away! Anyways I do a good amount of tool reviews, lots of them being Ridgid cuz I have a lot of orange in my garage! I don't have a ton right now but I can record better video now so I will be adding new videos regularly now so feel free to check them out!
collectorbob810 No I haven't, I only have my cellphone to do my videos and it doesn't have a tripod thread and I was going to get a phone holder to attach to it but I ended up getting a different tripod cuz it was only $10, it can only go up to 4 feet but it can collapse down to 1 foot so I can use it on my work bench where the Ridgid tripod only collapses to 3 feet but it will go really high up to 7 feet. I'm sure if you don't need it to go lower than 3 feet that this would make an excellent tripod for a camera though!
collectorbob810 What is their website? I'll have to check it out. Since this video I have actually got a brand new really nice Samsung Galaxy S8 phone that will shoot in up to 4k and I still only shoot in 1080p 60fps and it does a real good job. Plus I got a different tripod than this for it, reason being is the tripod I got will got all the way down to only 12 inches tall so that makes it short enough that I can still use it on top of my work bench. Thanks for watching the video and commenting bud 😊
Was on the fence until the first 3 seconds of your video and i saw how high the tripod can go. Thanks for the detailed review.
Sure thing, glad I could help. I used mine all the time!
Thank you for the video, I was on the fence. Ordered the ridgid right after I watched your video
I'm glad you liked the video and that it helped you decide to buy one. You won't be disappointed, this is the best tripod I have ever had and seen!
Thorough review, thank you. I bought one after watching this.
Thats awesome glad to hear it! it's a really sweet tripod, I use mine all the time it's a sweet tripod!

That's awesome you got a really good price on it, I hope it works out for you!
Nice review. Will come in handy when the days get shorter and i need light at 4pm in afternoon.

That’s an amazing tripod. I could use that for camping too.
That's what I'm thinking. Put the panel light on it and light up the whole campsite.
Yeah its a great tripod I love mine and use it a lot!

Does only one leg level?
