Really thorough review. Got a cheapo tripod and was thinking this would be an affordable upgrade but you just save me from making the same mistake i did with the cheapo. I'll wait it out until i can afford something more stable on heavy rigs, thanks for making this review
That’s great! Glad we could provide some help. : )
for the screws getting loose I recommend using a small dab of blue locktite on a side of the screw (obviously besides the screw that goes into your camera tripod socket). it makes a significant difference
Noted! Thank you! Will try to give this a shot!
I'm actually interested in the AS-80 or AD-100 for use with a BMPCC 6K Pro rig (... very heavy). Do you know if the fluid head is the same on all these models?
If so, I might get the option without the fluid head and use my Sacthler ACE XL and get another head later.
Hey! Unfortunately I am not familiar with the AS-80 or AD-100. If you have a heavy rig, I would go safer than sorry. Sorry we couldn’t be of more help.
Regarding the video head coming loose from the ball head, your ball head should have screws or bolts to secure the connection from underneath. Take a look.
Q: Does the tilt lock on the left side allow for light friction to aid with smooth tilts, or is it only for locking the tilt position?
Hey! Thank you so much for commenting this. I saw your comment last week just before I headed off to a wedding and was able to tighten the tripod in time for the wedding!
In regards to the tilt lock, it does give little friction but I wouldn’t say its very smooth. I often just end up keeping it lose and holding the camera under my arm to stabilize it if that makes sense.
Can you tell me a heavy duty tripod ..it can be expensive ..to safeguard my camera and very expensive lens read to spend some on a good tripod ! Please suggest bro ! I use heavy weight lenses for animal photography
I would recommend Sachtler tripods! Also, smallrig’s new tripod looks good
very informative, thank you!
You’re very welcome! Glad we could help!
Is it worth the price over a cheap Amazon basics tripod?
Personally, I think so. Especially if you are doing a little bit more serious video shoots.
Nice review
Thank you!
nice review brother!
Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You should always have two screws attatching your camera to the plate. That is a plate and screw issue and not a tripod issue.
These are lighter more compact tripods yes and don’t have as much screws. For smaller dslr/mirrorless cameras, we do not find this to be to big of an issue. Thank you for your input!
