    I saw another video of this tripod and it appeared that you could flip the ball head into the vertical position and then loosen a set screw on the side of the ball head with the attached tool and then when you flip the ball head back to horizontal it will pan. According to the manufacturer it is advertised as having a 360 degree pan function.

    I have been comparing this tripod with the Ulanzi Zero F38. That head is compatible with peak design plates, but works with longer arca swiss plates as well

    • @myrnamalkin8236
      @myrnamalkin8236 3 месяца назад

      @@Ken-Hung I like everything about the F38 except that I prefer having the plate actually lock in rather than tightening it with a thumb screw. I use Peak Design plates and Peak Design Slide Straps on all my cameras so it should work well.

  • @bencompson
    @bencompson 4 месяца назад +3

    I think the deal breaker for a lot of photographers will be that the head does not accept Arca-Swiss plates and brackets. The Peak Design style plate is fine for small cameras but is not as robust as an A-S bracket or plate designed for the specific camera body or lens. The plate for this tripod can twist where it attaches to the camera.
    And so many photographers already have L-brackets and dedicated plates and this tripod will make them useless. The Ulanzi F-38 QD head is the same way. The Ulanzi Zero Y tripod accepts A-S plates and brackets AND the Peak Design style plates. Not sure why they all aren't that way.
    I do not have any of these tripods yet. The cost of the Peak Design tripod (which will accept A-S plates) is ridiculous. Reviews of the Ulanzi Zero Y indicate that the knob that clamps the plate to the head comes loose easily risking the camera falling off.
    I still haven't found the right combo of design, price, flexibility and quality.

    I thought this would have been the perfect light weight tripod for panos.
    The ball head can act as a levelling base, but it’s lacking the panning option unfortunately.

  • @adomolis
    @adomolis 2 месяца назад +2

    Just to add about the missing pan function - this creates another problem. If you set your ball head to portrait mode this means you are stuck at single straight position and will not be able to tilt your camera up or down. I just took this tripod on a hiking trip and lack of this pan function really limited my workflow when shooting something in portrait mode. I was really disappointed.

    I don’t shoot weddings anymore. I shoot live theatre, concerts, and dance shows. I used to use a couple of heavy Manfrotto pro tripods, but so many of the theatres and venues I have to shoot in can’t accommodate the large tripods. I use one Manfrotto 502 like the one you showed here and a couple of static tripods. One is a carbon fiber Gitzo and the other is a heavy aluminum Benro. After this review, I am temped to replace the Benro with the Neewer. I often have to put tripods in the actual seating areas of theatres.

    Check out the Coman Light H when you get a chance - the Neewer is an exact dupe of the Coman Light G, with those same struggles (like the lack of pan head function). The Light /H/ however, has a dedicated fluid head with really smooth pan and tilt functionality and the same quick-release style (which works with pretty much any arca swiss plate, including even 200mm ones for balancing larger rigs), and a built-in ballhead underneath for getting your video head level without having to futz with individual leg lengths. Plus it comes with a swappable head with a standard screw mount, so you can attach any other head that you'd like if you don't feel like lugging around the heavier / taller fluid head. Oh, and the weight hook screws into the center column with a standard screw thread, so you can even mount their specialized fluid head on a separate monopod if you wanted to.

      Must be a moron that spells" moron.".. Moran.
