6:50 They live in Opponents world (or Conquerents world) instead of Cooperative world.
I also use the MT-46 and love it. Also, you can get the F38 base mount and screw it on any ballhead that has a 1/4", 3/8" thread..
I use the PGYTECH quick release plates and base with tripods and vlogging handles. Quick and simple.
I just got the PGYtech mantizpod z. This thing is sturdy and versatile!!! There were some scenarios already that I had to hang it on the wall. Suits awesomely with my pocket 3
...Loving it so muchhh
Timing 🤯 just watched your older video on tripods few days ago and here's the update
Just for the record, you can get the 1/4 20 adapter for virtually any quick release system, including Ulanzi. The Ulanzi piece I use for action cams and the Pocket 3, the Quick Go 2 costs $5 for both sides. Not a big deal. The others are typically under $20 at most. Worst case scenario would be around #30 but that's top of the food chain quick release. Still, not a big deal to be sure.
I was thinking of getting the Mantizpod Z but good thing I watched this first. I can't stand proprietary connectors. Thank you, you saved me $50
I do want to vlog with my cat. You nailed it. I didn't realize tripods were so complicated. I use an adapter so I can use my microphone stands as camera stands.
With hip replacement surgery becoming the norm, perhaps we will see elbow replacements where you can order a 10" extension?
No longer will you need a tripod to extend your reach, and you'll be able to put on your socks while standing up.
😂😂😂
I know it's coming and I even tell myself that it will inevitably become tired...but I laugh every time you do that bow/ cape across the chest at the end.
I love the nebula tripod. I bought it for $20 off of eBay. And I’ve had it ever since you first recommended it. How ever long ago that was. 😂
The Nebula is so solid. You can really trust it with a heavy camera.
I found this guy while looking at GoPro reviews, he's too damn funny I can't stop lmao
I love your uncle Rico delivery.
You just need the Ulanzi F38 bottom plate. Its got a tripod screw hole in the bottom and makes it so you can attach the quick release plate to anything with a tripod screw.
OMG I so want to vlog with my cat. Hell I’d even do it in my hat.
Thats why the Pocket 3 is the best for vlogging. You have you main camera for shooting wildlife and your pocket 3 hooked on the other side for vlogging. 😊
Oh, and the recommended max payload weight for the Mantis, when extended, is only 500g, Kasey!
Heavier but the SIRUI AM-223 Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod is Excellent. Holds my GH5 with the Leica 100-400.
I have two of these, the nebula and the smaller Ulanzi. As an user of pd clips, my thoughts were similar to yours, but actually I found clipping the camera to the tripod too cumbersome so I use a wide lens and my luckily long arms. In that case, it is better to have a 3/4 threaded, as the nebula is at home for the webcam setup. Now looking for a 3/4 to pd clip holder piece...
Nice test
there are arca swiss baseplates with quick release levers out there which should be compatible with your backpack system
Only RUclipsr that looks at the second camera. 👍
VERSATILITY ‼️
COMPANIES TAKE NOTICE‼️
INTERCHANGEABLE IS
GOOD 🎉
TOO MUCH PROPRIETARY IS
SELF DEFEATING‼️
Grab and Go……
STOP OVERTHINKING.
Practical wins the Race
Happy New Year Casey 🎉
Like wall sockets! And 240volts...ugh
I shoot all my vlogs using the switch pod!! Idk, it's something about that thing that just makes sense!!
Problem with the MT-16 is the base doesn't allow you to rest it on uneven ground. So usefless for my hiking channel.
this is crazy i was just looking for a decent tripod and I find Vegetable Police with a whole other channel.
"Hello to you second angle." 😂😂
You should definitely spend more time researching all those quick release systems. Ulanzi tries to support pd and pgytech and their own at the same tome.
I switched all of my quick releases to Ulanzi F38 because their just easy and amazing. Since the MT-16 has the 1/4"-20 screw, why don't you screw on a F38 quick release base plate on top of the MT-16 and then you can use the QR plates seamlessly?
this is the way
how about a MINI TRIPOD for mics, / table stands for mics , including the shockproof mounts on such table mic tripods for mics ?
9:46 Stop teasing us already Kasey!!
hey, you should give kitty craft - mama's lamp (american mix) a listen. the sound reminded me of your self-composed music you use in your videos! album it's on is from '98, which is cool. happy new years!
In case you didn't notice it Casey, the Ulanzi shoes on your rucksack belts have a hole with a camera size thread in them. At least it looks like that to me behind my monitor, just check it in real life. You could just use one of the ones you already own or buy another one and screw one on the tripod. As you well know, they have a quick release, unlike the camera shoe on the red Sirui tripod.
Have you seen that Ulanzi/Falcam have a new updated backpack clip, that's a new design that's potentially better than the old and the peak design? Also, I don't know if the proprietary head on the Mantispod Z is removable, but you do know that you can attatch an f38 bottom plate onto anything with a 1/4 or 3/8 screw, right? Infact, maybe that one you have right there on that Ulanzi MT-46 comes off.
throwing in a curveball here:
Leofoto MT-03 Tripod + MTB-19 Head
not the highest tripod but gets insanely low, compact, is sturdy as hell and you can add a pd/ulanzi clup to it to snap it to your backpack ;)
You should check out the Leofoto MT-03 mini tripod with the MBC-18 mini ball head. It's 245g combined, the head is Arca Swiss, so it accepts F38 plates. The legs have 1/4" threads on them, so you can put an F38 plate on it, and then you can clip your camera with the tripod attached to your backpack clip. The articulated legs might look lame and gimmicky, but it is super stable, so you can use it on uneven surface, and it can hook on to objects like the Mantispod would. Not very comfy to hold though.
Bit pricey. But it will probably work for 20 years, since it comes with threaded leg connectors that can/have to be tightened now and then. Most plastic mini tripods use some kind of friction clamping that will wear out quickly with regular use. I went for the super cheap alternative from Moman. Not as versatile, but it also has the 1/4'' threads, bolted legs and you can use tension straps to fix the camera almost anywhere within a few minutes.
Oh, a new table.
what about the ulanzi MT-22?
I use a light stand as a tripod. It fits my desk pretty well. This comment isn’t helpful, but I want to help the algorithm along.
Happy new year to you and your fiance (we're still waiting to meet her)! That's for all the vids! I learned a lot - not. Your mom learn a lot. Hey bring her back too!
OMG for the love of GOD STOP IT ✋🏻 JUST STOP IT❗️You are secretly sending me broke with all your brilliant product reviews that I must buy?!? 🤪
all I want is a perfect mini tripod
MT-16 with a F38 base plate (threated into the 4/20)
I vlog/film with an Insta360 One RS Leica 1-inch. I use an Insta360 invisible extending selfie stick with Ulanzi MT-10 tripod legs. Very light and gives a max extension of 48". Then I have a Ulanzi MT-33 Octopus tripod with a Velbon QHD1 mini ball head (better than a gorillapod) for when I need to attach it to a fence etc,. Also lightweight and tough.
I like the mindful set up! I'm looking at buying but can't seem to fault the pgytech action cam extension pole tripod mini. It extends to 16' or 40cm and collapses to 5.5' or 14cm at a weight of 105g
Just going on specs alone👍
@@tarawaukeri8928 The PGY Mantis does have some useful features, but it costs $90 here in Manila and that's almost twice the price I paid for my Insta360 Invisible pole, tripod legs and Ulanzi Octopus tripod and ball head put together!
@@tarawaukeri8928 sturdiness is a factor usually, missed. If it collapses by the weight in time, it's useless.
Definitely the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vlog clip lol!
Nope, you’re confusing this channel with another one. DJI has forbidden Kasey from reviewing the Pocket 3.
I have the Ulanzi and it's great except when my camera is heavy it collapses itself. The Peak Design clip is game changing
@johnfoley4023 I have the MT-16. It has the attached 1/4" screw like Kasey's so no plates are compatible
Does anyone else with the mt46 find the tripod opens just too far so the middle column upsets the balance?
"I need to VLOG right now" 😅
Osoyoos is for what lovers?
I think Ulanzi got F38 plate you can screw on any tripod and then it becomes compatible with their quick release plates.
But I already have PD plates so seems like I have no luck. I would have to buy new plates that are PD and F38 compatible (seems Ulanzi have these)
Same issue here. I've already invested in the Peak Design tripod, Capture Clips, and plates and it seems the Ulanzi F38 base doesn't work with PD plates. I honestly wish Peak Design would just come out with a quick release base that has a 1/4" screw mount on the bottom. Would solve my issues.
@@lovedogsontheloose Same dilemma, but as @JoATTech mentioned, Ulanzi/Falcam makes a plate that is F38 on 2 sides, PD on the other 2. I use one... the PD sides are not quite as tight in the PD clip, but they will not fall out.
@@jeffallen6543Thanks. It looks like that's the route I'm gonna have to take.
According to their website, the Ulanzi F38 V2 backpack clips and bases are compatible with a wide range of quick release plates, including the Peak Design ones.
I also have invested in the PD clips, it seems that's no longer an issue now. Though there is no F38 V2 tripod base, yet.
@@DiversionScience A V2 base that works with the PD plates would be great. I’ll keep an eye out for them. Thanks.
Was that the Canon R8 battery that died? Seen this reported in a number of RUclipsr videos. The battery life is poor. Only thing holding me back from buying one. It’s huge downgrade to the R7 or G9 battery life which both last twice as long. Not worth it for the FF advantage if your camera is dead. Hate carrying extra batteries if it’s avoidable.
started with grams and fall down to inches
Funny stuff as always 👍🏻🎉
Would have been nice to get a price check on each of them.
So the rest of the world has no problem finding the prices in their own countries but you're too lazy and want everything done for you?
Yeah cause when you are watching a RUclips about five or six products you love to pause it and go off searching for them all. It really helps the flow of things.
If I can give you one piece of life advice, it is not to be such a loser. I know you got nothing going on but bending over backwards to find some convoluted reason to act superior on a RUclips comment is some pretty desperate stuff.
'Not' being a massive loser just might help with that micky boy.
@@michaelevans5953
Hi! I like the system you use but the issue of compatibility is important. Most tripod and monopod systems use the Arca or Manfrotto standard. That's why I use the peak design clip, it's expensive but they have an adapter that works for both systems (Arca and Manfrotto), I never need to take it off the camera. Greetings!
the water bottle breaks ANOTHER shoulder
I would love if my Cat would allow me to vlog with her. She hates me though.
Sound level too low on this one.
I think Markuspix beat you in this topic. His extensive research for the longest lightest tripod across three videos from the last tgree years is worth a watch or two.
First
Have you considered helium balloons? hmmm?
i'm scared of putting my cams on these. one wind blow and there goes your lens!
did you intentionally exclude prices in the review? sure they vary between amazon and aliexpress but a ballpark number might help someone decide while watching. On the other side you link to most tripods so that's very convenient
Yea prices are different over time and in different countries, it's almost worthless to talk about. The PGY Tech has a discount code, they are all in the ballpark of each other.
is he really not aware of the existence of Falcam F38 base plates? with these all his 1/4" problems would be solved, hmm.....
PGYTECH do make a camera clip. It's called Beetle.
Don't know if it takes the same proprietary as the Mantis, but might be worth investigating?
Woo hoo!
Yo homeboy. It's CAMERA Conspiracies, not TRIPOD Conspiracies...Mmmmm K?
These are only suitable for mobile phone or a very light camera, These are useless when you have to use a little heavier camera with a lens. These are not stable for a camera setup either the lens.
Markus, you and Cara already did this video!
Ooops, wrong channel. Sorry…
audio issue!!! top issue with YTberz!
sounds like using the arm is the best option. light weight and always on you. downside, no affiliate links.
Variable load bearing time too.
i weighed my 1 inch thick 29 inch long cherry branch (i use it as a bike stand) and it's only 228 grams
Slik MINI-PRO V is the GOAT and kinda sad for you probably not even testing it
Those looks more like monopods or selfie sticks with small legs. I prefer SIRUI AM-223 Carbon Fiber Mini tripod.. that is more like "tripod" in my book where you can extend and adjust legs as well.
That's not the same category of what we're comparing here.
Nice informative comparison video. You go deep. And sometimes you’re funny. No way this is a comedy channel.
Whats a gram…?
A measurement of gun powder😂😂😂
@@tarawaukeri8928Sweet…..👍
It's comments like this which reinforce the Stupid American stereotype
