Legit just bought one of these 4 days ago. Gah! So excited!!
You're going to love it! BTW Thanks for stopping by man 👊
When peter have it, automatically sold out everywhere.
@@amirulazhar6549 Unless it's like 2000 euro's.
I smell a giveaway!
That going to be my next tripod too. I wish they had a small travel tripod too.
As I’m clicking the BH link I’m thinking “oh this gotta be at least couple hundred bucks” finally link opens and see real price *jaw drops* lol 😂
Just by knowing the brand your comment killed me lmaooo! Its real though theyre crazy expensive!
LOL me 2 buuahaha
Zary Photography 😜
Victorfilm same here😂
@Phil Weatherley I guess he didn't pay attention to the brand name: $achtler.
Here's a bit of advice on investing in gear that I read on a forum yesterday. "You date your camera but you marry your tripod."
Armando, you are so right about filmmakers and their backs. And I completely agree - invest for the long run. Tripods are as critical as lenses, cameras, and a good microphone.
I really love this tripod. Perfect fit for my 600d and 18-55 lens set-up. 😁😂😃
Hey, even though you are probably joking about it, light camera-lens combinations can actually benefit greatly from heavy tripods/heads. This is mainly because the heavy head makes it easier to add drag to tripod movements.
Dude this thing is killer! I love the light weight design and how easy it is to adjust.
Just right on time when I was searching for a new tripod!!! Great video Armando.
I feel bless having the opportunity to learn from you. To me its worth spending cash on because its going to serve for a long period of time. I can't wait to own my film making gears so I can make content to help up coming film makers like me. Stay bless and stay creating!
To those of you who can’t afford, the bit with the lever on the top which extends the legs was already done by Manfrotto about 30 or 40 years ago on the manfotto 058, my dad used for 30+ years as a wedding photographer and I now use the same tripod for my 3D and video business. Still going strong.
We have two of these with FSB 8's for our photo workshops. They are awesome and Sachtler support has been spectacular!
So I guess now’s not a good time to say I own and have used for the last 15 years a $6,400 Sachtler tripod. Floor spreader, carbon legs, SB-25 head I believe. It is the single greatest piece of kit that I own, it is the smoothest tripod head besides an O’Connor, and those heads are over $20,000. I have never used a single manfrotto product that I liked unless it was brand new out of the box. After 3-4 shoots they start to fall apart and get sticky. If you have to have laser smooth panning and tilting shots you absolutely cannot go wrong with a Sachtler setup. Great video.
You don't need to put down on manufactures to extol the virtues of another. Manfrotto is perfect for the clientele they serve.
@@krane15 I wasn't trying to put them down per-se, I was expressing my personal experience with them. If Manfrotto clients are happy with the results they get awesome! Personally, their products are not up to my standards and I was basically saying, "you get what you pay for". Price, generally, is a reflection of quality, craftsmanship, and longevity. You can spend $600 on a tripod and have to replace it four times in as many years , or you can spend $2400 on a tripod and have it for decades. I get that not everybody can afford high end gear, but crapping on a company for making a quality product and charging a fair price is not helpful either. Same thing happened when Apple introduced the new Mac Pro. People freaked out at the price, but when you realize that the professional clientele that can actually use (and need for that matter) the capability of that workstation are shooting on $100,000 camera rigs recording hundreds of terabytes or even petabytes of data for their projects, the price point of a Mac Pro is meaningless.
I'm starting to out grow my Manfrotto gear and looking to upgrade to this one.
@@krane15 I’ve had my Manfrotto Nitrotec N8 replaced twice under warranty with the 3rd one sitting in the corner gathering dust. They are very cheaply made and not ‘fluid head’ as advertised but packed with grease.
Manfrotto is without a doubt the most overrated camera gear brand out there. Coasting on their reputation from decades ago and the fact that noobs don't understand what actual fluid heads are but making poor quality plastick-y crap that is outperformed by no name Chinese "crap" gear for half the price.
This is readily apparent when you're on a shoot and have to handle or use any manfrotto gear that's been in use for more than a few years. It always feels awful.
he owns a c200 hes not going to mount that on $200 budget tripod..... stop complaining
🙌🏼
Thanks for the review! A good tripod is the first thing I bought after my first big paying gig six years ago. It is a Sachtler Ace. I'm thinking about upgrading the legs to this Flowtech set and keep my existing head. These look great! And I love how you can remove the mid-level spreader. Sometimes it gets in the way.
It’s not just about the money folks. For a serious filmmaker this is such a worthy investment when other considerations are no longer a problem. One thing I learned the hard way is that when you’re low on cash and you’re in it for the long run, then you’re too poor to be cheap.
In other words, when you’re poor, make sure to spend your money on things that will LAST and make you more efficient. Do NOT invest in cheap things. Really. You can’t afford for it to break cause you can’t spend money on another piece of gear all of a sudden, or look bad in front of that new customer cause a piece of equipment broke etc.
Now I’m not saying you have to buy this particular tripod, whatever, you’re the only person who knows what matters to you right now. But don’t be cheap. Look beyond the price, especially for the long run.
Great way in putting it man! Let's not say "poor" though. I think a better way of saying it is... "low budget filmmaker". ;)
JMSDFilms agreed :)
True words. It's the value you get over the price tag.
@@gusy6129 Amen to that!
Glad to see these expensive gear being review! Let’s me know what to save up for future tools to invest in!
This is the TRIPOD !! THX Armando, planning and start to saving money for this beast
Good God, your videos are amazing. Great production value, no b.s., all the info we need, none of the fluff, but still with some personality. Brilliant!!
Also, I bought my Sachtler DV2 tripod in 2000, I think. The damn thing is still in perfect condition, so I can't justify getting this one. But it sure looks nice!
I would buy this tripod now if I had the money because of your review. Thanks for taking the time to do this and a great job mate
Well I know the next tripod I am getting when I upgrade! Thanks Armando.
I’m getting it for the very same reasons you have mentioned in this video. Thanks.
Actually excited to buy a tripod. Thank you, man!
That bubble alone makes this a game changer! lol
These look so dope....I was just talking to my lady last night about I got to get a better tripod and mic boom stands. Great video, I will put this on my radar.
Quickly being able to deploy legs, and adjust height is soooo nice. Was looking for something like this, but for landscape shots when hiking...so obviously, this is too bulky for my needs, but great for the studio. Just wish it was more affordable (and they had a slim/light backpackable size).
That’s a beautiful rig you have there 😱
I was all excited when i saw the thumbnail because i want a new tripod until i saw the price.
Buying this next month for sure !!
Osckiie you’ll love it!
Thanks for this video. Just placed an order!
OC Films you’ll love it, use mine everyday and can’t see myself using another tripod for what we do.
Hey man, What is the Colour of your Wall??
I used to use the sachtler hotpods shooting news with an ENG camera. Those sticks weighed a ton even without the 25-pound camera. Nice to see they're going carbon. Worth every penny.
Ooof that price tag tho. Goals for tripod setups haha. Great video Armando!
wow ..thats a monster tripod
This looks really great. Looking into buying the flowtech75 with aktiv8 head. Just not sure yet if the sideload or the touch & go plate option (aktiv8T) is the best way to go…
We use these at film school and they are amazing! Especially with the c300 mkII!
I love the C300 MKII
@@mondobytes Please what camera did you use to shoot this particular video? Its crystal clear and thanks for the review.
Really good review!
Great review!.
Your video has a nice lighting, and is visually appealing (the figure is in focus and creates a pleasing contrast with the background without being harsh or exaggerated ). Even if it is not the topic of the video, I would be interested in knowing how you lit and shot it. And thanks a lot for the interesting content!
Holy Moly! Goals!
I am just a hobby filmer - but this tripod is worth every penny. Especially, with the handle which is now part of the regular set. I use it for fotography, too.
Great video!
All the makings of a great infomercial
The Video Helps me a lot...thank u sir
Looks great!
It's beautiful! Everything I hate about current tripod designs are fixed with this beast.
FriedFx 💯
Hands down the dopest tripod available. Pricey, oh hell yeah, but once you've used it you'll see why. Awesome video & a dope bit of kit Armando.
Great video man!
Thanks man!
Love the Video. I think I’m buying. I use Benro and Manfrotto tripods and I’ve even using them for a couple years so I think I’m going to buy this.
You'll really like enjoy it for me using any other tripod feels backwards.
Let's talk about that beautiful lens. Wow!
You are 100% right!
Hi, when mounting at slider on top (i.e. Rhino slider) is it still easy to make height adjustments frequently? I wasn’t sure if those red handles are too close to the top making it hard to flip up?
Who picked the color palette of your room? It's quite nice.. also that tripod is insane. Someday I'll have one. Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait until B&H gets these back in stock!
Armando, I see you pride yourself on bringing viewers true value. One quick question , how do you get your videos so sharp and clear ?
I film in Log so I push my color grade in post which usually gives you a much better looking image.
He takes more time on the color
Wow, that is a GAME CHANGERRR
Dude, you're killing me! I want the Flowtech bad. LOL
I'm shocked you don't have one 😂
@@mondobytes I know right? I almost picked one up at IBC but decided to wait. Matt has the 100mm version and loves it.
Can not agree enough !✅
What are the drawers in the background? Been looking for something just like those!
SOLD! Thanks!
You should be spending this money on guitars and amps!!!! Ha ha.... always find it funny when I see some creator who I watch in the comments about some other gear. I, too, am considering dropping an obscene amount of $ on a tripod.
Great looking video, BTW. CineMat nice and thought out, yet subtle enough 4 me.
Is it a good idea to use existing decent Tripod, and just get the Sachtler Head to fit on it?
What is the tripod/slider combo in the shot at 8:56? I am on a pretty tight budget and that looks like a solid budget option!
A question Armando: What's difference between Sachtler and Vinten head?. Thanks in advance
Great tripod.
Literally drooling all over the place.
I am about to make a jump (budget permitting) to a c500 Mark II, and I am trying to find a balance between naked run and gun to a kit with matte box, monitors, v-mount, etc... May this be one of the best tripods to pair with the modularity of the Canon c500 Mark II?
Fantastic review! I’ve been looking at this tripod for a long time. I really wanna get it but man it’s $$$
Chadwin Smith it does cost some paper but boy is it worth every penny!
Have you tested the E-Image EG06A2 w/GH06 Head? Saw DSLR Video Shooter do a quick review on that one right after I saw your video, and am torn. $2,000 difference is huge. Would appreciate your insight into whether you think its worth it or not.
I want this tripod! But for now; the Wish List it goes!
You sold me on the fluid head with the side load and 501 plate compatibility. Doing this.
Very good review from a real user perspective. Needless to say Flowtech with FSB head is really a good tripod system. But for those who can not afford it for the time being, have a look over SCG T8 fluid head. You would be really surprised.
Thumbnail caught my attention
Wow the price it's great I'm Goin to order 4 of those.
Haha, the exaggeration with adjusting the tripod was priceless. I will admit though the one you demonstrated was sweet. :)
Thanks Armando! Can you make the legs different lengths in case you're on uneven ground or a hillside?
Yes.
I’m really tired of my benro. On top of other tripod struggles, my c200 does not smoothly slide on, very stickyish
well... is ok. now I need it.
😳 great Scott's, that price tho!! It's like the Lambo of tripods!!!
What was the first Tripod model you were holding
is there a travel version of this where the legs may collapse somehow for tighter storage?
Hai sir .I am usesing sony a7R3 ,24-105 lens. steadyshot disabled not open . How to enable sir. Thank you. Pls reply sir
Hi Armando, can you help me by recommending a good sachtler tripod system for shooting with a A7SIII all the way up to a red Gemini with attached accessories like monitor I/O interface, wireless transmitter, wireless follow focus, v mount battery, camera cage, Matt box and all . Thank you😊
A thing to consider with tripods is the maximum weight for camera. With the camera you are showing it is fine but if you are moving up to a big (say) ARRI all rigged up you can bump into that limit. Sachtler can help out there of course, with a bigger tripod, but it may mean the lifetime is shorter than you expect.
Love the tripod, but I love the Street Fighter cabinet even more! If we ever get to do a collab a best of 3 will definitely be in order 😂✌️
Miguel Quiles let's do it!
@@mondobytes It's on like Donkey Kong! Haha You going to Kando this year?
Miguel Quiles I think so, that's the plan at least
@@mondobytes Nice! I'll definitely be there again, hopefully with my video guy this year so I can film a ton of content 😁👍🏻
Holy Fawk! $1,200 just for the legs.... I'm out of my league 😱
me too
I was just excited and about to add to cart.... then I saw the price. THE PRIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE!
Well, for those who have budget and are in film making profession, this is an investment and will have the convenience of using this tripod. Maybe in time, the amount of it will pay off. But for a hobbyist like me, i'll just stick to a desent reliable tripod with affordable price on tag.
$1,200.00 for a set of pro level tripod legs is peanuts. We tested these last year and they are, without a a doubt, the easiest to use and most flexible legs on the market. If you think these are expensive, 75mm is for little tripod heads and relatively light cinema cameras. Step up to bigger, heavier cameras and you are at $3,277.00 for the same legs in the 100mm bowl version. I can't understand why the 100mm version costs three times as much as the 75mm version. Love the legs, we're replacing Miller legs as soon as we can with these www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1431234-REG/sachtler_5585_flowtech_100_ms_carbon.html
Thanks for that @crimson red....
Is there any budget version of this?
Hands down the best - I got on the day it hit BH last year. With an FSB8 head it's perfect for the C200 rigged up
Glad to see other owners stop by 👊🏼
Hi Armando! Could you please help me find a tripod dolly that is compatible with the Sachtler Flowtech75 tripod? Thank you! 🙂
No joke. Today, I was looking for a new tripod. I rewatched Film Riot’s video on the Benro BV-10. I made a comment on that video A LONG TIME ago, and Armando responded making a joke about Manfrotoo. I asked myself, I wonder when Armando is going to make a video on a tripod?
Awesome intel on that tripod keep up the good work. did u shoot that video with the C200? in log mode ?
I used 2 EOS R in Clog.
@@mondobytes ohhhh hohoho u just convinced me to buy that EOS R thanks so much for responding back
Thank you.
Are there any alternative brands for people who just cannot afford this thing but want a good and sturdy enough video tripod?
I mean, Sachtler makes amazing tripods; I sometimes drool over the Sachtler Caddy that a local TV production company uses. But that thing costs approx 9 grand without the head.
Your 4k video looks really good and sharp! what camera+lens did you use on this video (probably cinema camera) and what is the best settings to upload it to youtube?
Used an 2 EOS R with Sigma 18-35 and 24-70 L lens
@@mondobytes I should use my Sigma 18-35 more
was that the slider tripod that you showed last?
Would you be able to mount a slider on it? or is the ball mount not compati-ball ?! lol
I don't have an issue spending money on a good pro tripod but I'd love to see a follow up video on these legs and see how they're holding up. Some reviews make me a little wary of the long term durability. Thanks for the vid.
Marticulate I’ve used these things and abuse them and still think to this day they are the best tripod legs you can buy.
Ended up ordering the Flowtech 75 with the FSB 4 Fluid Head. I couldn't justify the more expensive head yet however, I can always upgrade down the line. I'm most excited for the sticks!!!
Stastro let me know what you think when you get them?
@@mondobytes My order arrives tomorrow and I've got two shoots this week so will do! BTW are you in SOFLA by any chance?
Stastro cool, na I'm from Los Angeles
What's the difference between this Ball Head and the new Satchler FSB 8 Mk II?
It's a bit pricey, but it is really nice.
I have one tripod from Sirui (W-2204) with a Sirui Ball Head (K-10 I believe). For photography purposes, this is the BEST set of legs and ball head I've come across. I've tried several and nothing was any good. Now I have a solid setup.
For video production work, I'm also looking at the Sachtler FSB-8 Fluid Head and these legs seem to be pretty nice. I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar to this in the past. One lock on the top.Im definitely going to consider this.
armando... LOVED the framing of this presentation... were you using a 24mm or 35mm lens? i see very little field of view distortion.... And it took in so much of the scene at the same time. Very, very unusual for a youtube video. Wow. I LOVE this look. (sorry, just saw this vid searching for info on the sachtler...)
thanks
Do you think a 35mm or a 24mm both give little distortion?
@@creativegreats6924 - both give some distortion , of course, if we consider 50mm to be standard… so, even an 85mm and 135mm would also offer distortion.
Just curious the video was able to present as wide and image and yet present little distortion:)
Who know, maybe the framing was in software :)
@@mikewinburn what do you mean 85 and 135 would offer distortions?
Nice video
