I use a compact Smallrig tripod myself. It is easy to transport. But just like you say, it doesn't stand very sturdy. With a bit of wind I find it difficult to get my camera stable. Think this is a good option.
I have this tripod. For some reason there's a little "play" in the ball head going left to right... even when that little knob at the bottom of the head (by the bubble) that controls the tension of left to right movement is all the way locked down. There's like 1/4" worth of wiggle and I'm not sure why. :/
Does the head have counterbalance spring compensation so that if you point the camera down and then release the handle, will the tilt change due to gravity? The best heads just stay where they are pointed when the handle is released without having to lock it. I'm surprised you didn't mention that.
lol @ can we stop with the number names . MAJOR FACTS. Love the edits and the fact that your reviews are always your voice. Not just whatever the companies want you to say. #inspired
I actually think SmallRigs 4 digits numbering system is very good. Especially since there are a lot of version for the same Product like with NATO rail, ARRI mount or coldshoe... I don't see any problem with this. Also this tripods exists in various versions. Good luck finding the one you are looking for only from the preview pictures.
Lol, there's a lot more than just 4 numbers. All most companies need is 2 letters and 2 numbers and they have model number combinations for 67,600 products. I agree with him, stop with the goofy naming. Use internal UPC codes if you wanna slap model numbers to every screw and bolt. Consumers don't care about that sht.
Subbed my dude, appreciate the info! I run the RSC2 as well! Can you share what that quicj release plate is that you use between the gimbal and the tripod?
Those leg locks are sturdy as they are new, give it some time and those bolts that the leg locks screw into will break guaranteed. Regret my purchase in only 3 wedding shoots.
Good video editing, but this is a bad tripod, really bad. I bought it based on many good reviews like yours, this tripod is not heavy-duty, not by a long shot! It came with one latch already broken, with a 3kgr camera pan and tilt became horribly uneven, the pan adjustment could only go from completely loose to impossible to move, and many other little thing... I just don´t understand how so many youtubers says is a great product, is just crap. And I know is cheap, but nobody says "Hey, is just an entry level tripod, it will break in a couple years top, and don´t try anything too fancy with it, ibut is cheap!" NO, they say is fantastic,... well,... is not. If you have EVER tried a real tripod, do not buy this crap. Possibly brands are sending the better batches to reviewers so the have a kinder point of view or being selected for a free sample has a bigger impact in their opinions that what they will really admit to themselves, don´t blame them. But this is manufactured crap, please try this product in a real world situation and don´t be afraid of saying bad things
I literally said a minute into the video that "for the price, it is well built" which is what I experienced with the tripod I RECIEVED. If you got a bad one that sucks, then return it. I'm not going to change the way I talk about products just because one guy in my comments said he got a bad one. I've never been shy about saying negative things about products on my channel and I never will. Watch more than 10 seconds of a channel before you pass judgement.
@@SamuelJamesVideos BEFORE YOU READ, you may not like what I have to said, sorry about that, trully. English is not my first lenguage so if it sounds harsh again, sorry, not my intention, also, I don´t wan´t to start an argument with you, but to warn people like, as I did, may find this video and make what, in my opinion is a bad choice. Well my jugdement is not on you perse, but on the product, I still think is a really bad product, of course I returned it, you said "for the price is weel built it" but never adressed the shortcoming it has, and what what it should have to be an actual proffesional tripod, yet, is not my intend neither to critize you as an individual, nor your channel, I was trully talking about the whole system of reviewers that in this case, fail as a system, trully. About seeing more of 10 seconds, before critizing I saw this enire video... Your channel btw as a grand total of 0 videos about tripods... yet you put your opinion about a tripod in a video like it´s worth it, (opinion and tripod) like you´d know or something, so you´ll have to be open to my critics, like,... How many other tripods in this range did you tried before talking about this one that, surprise, fell in your hands for free? how many proffesioinal shooting have you tested in? what kind of abuse did you put into it? you just read the list of features and little more,.... that´s my complain, and I know is valid because your analisys lacks proficency and knoledge, sorry,it´s true. If you wanna see a very real and good review of this tripod,,..... ruclips.net/video/zIAFc_zvtEw/видео.html I will not respond further to this thread,..thank you and good luck
What tripod are YOU using? Let me know down in the comments!
Congrats on reaching the “getting gear from the company for review” milestone. 🎉
Thank you 🎉
Only 2k Subs bro? You have the best review video editing and personality I’ve ever seen. Let’s get this guy viral!
Thank you man that means a lot to me
This review is incredibly well put-together and polished. Keep up the great work man
This was super helpful. Thank you. I like that you talk like a normal person.
Congratulations on reaching an awesome milestone!
Enjoyed watching your creative videography, editing and production quality.
yeahhhh i was looking for this ! thanks for this awesome video
Amazing intro dude! Excellent video!
Fantastic Lighting man!
Damn Bro, I just checked out your channel at around 2:30 of this video here and I need to confess that I really like your video style!🔥
I just found your channel and your content is dope my dude! Just subbed!
Thanks a million bro I really appreciate that. I'll check out your channel when I get home
Great edition on your video man, would love a tutorial video about that.
A very nice review, thank you 😊
Thank you brother great video
I'm glad you enjoyed the show!
Great video and review! Straight to the point :)

THE INTRO 👌
Great vid! Been looking for a cheaper second tripod to compliment my Manfrotto fluid head setup. Love that the plate is interchangeable
Glad it was helpful! This is a good tripod for the money in my opinion.
I have this tripod. For some reason there's a little "play" in the ball head going left to right... even when that little knob at the bottom of the head (by the bubble) that controls the tension of left to right movement is all the way locked down. There's like 1/4" worth of wiggle and I'm not sure why. :/
I would inspect it closely and see if there's a way you can tighten it and if not return it for a refund. That's unacceptable for a tripod
what an intro man!
How do I get the fluid head to move ? Mine is stuck and won't pan.
Does the head have counterbalance spring compensation so that if you point the camera down and then release the handle, will the tilt change due to gravity? The best heads just stay where they are pointed when the handle is released without having to lock it. I'm surprised you didn't mention that.
I'm a little bummed you only mentioned the fluid head aspect for about 3 seconds. I was really hoping you'd give more detail on that.
Is the platform compatible with manfrotto?

I thought my quick release was broken, but you say it is this way

Nice video!!! What's the difference between this one and Ad-80?
That $3000 tripod better survive a nuclear fallout.
Subbed my dude, appreciate the info! I run the RSC2 as well! Can you share what that quicj release plate is that you use between the gimbal and the tripod?
Yes but luckily I just use a quick release system for that. I hope this helps
it's a fluid head and you don't discuss the panning or tilting?
yo man! are you in Seaside Heights? me too!
We have a spending problem.
Я мечтаю чтобы компании присылали мне оборудование
