This was a really detailed and informative review! I can totally relate to the challenge of finding the perfect tripod-there’s always a trade-off between stability, portability, and versatility. Your explanation of each tripod’s pros and cons, especially in different scenarios like astrophotography, hiking, and uneven terrain, was super helpful. I look forward to your future content and updates!
Tripods and camera bags always seem to multiple when left in a dark closet! 🙂 Excellent overview of the pros and cons of the various tripods in your collection and how they compare to the Kentfaith tripod under review.
First of all, I have to compliment the backdrop in this video :D what a nice location. And the tripod looks like it can fill a lot of roles. At the start you mentioned you have some problems with Sirui ballhead's knob - the knob has a build in small silver plate or I dont know how I would describe it. You can rotate that "mini knob" to adjust the tension of the main ballhead knob and how fast it loosens up. I like that ballhead, but never liked that "feature".
@@matej.mlakar thank you! Yes, that lokation is great, will try to go there more. I know about the silver dial, but this is something else. The tension can be good but certain manouvers make the ballhead like... stuck. I think it is when I loosen the knob a bit, then loosen the pano base and swing the camera around. Then it's like the knob has been tightened and it is hard to either loosen or tighten further.
Nice video. I have 3 tripods but I try to use them less and less. Only for shutter speeds under 1/40 seconds or so. The A7RV IBIS is so good that I can sometimes get sharp 0.5 second exposures on 16mm. It must not be too windy though :) I have one very small Sirui travel tripod, one medium and one without middle column for those low angles, also "waterproof". All in Carbon and all Sirui

@@filmwabbit if good camera bags weren't so darn expensive I would have a few of those as well!! 😅

@@RichardLarssen yes, working without a tripod is very liberating. And with modern mirrorless cameras I don't mind going up in ISO either.
