Nice Review! If anyone is looking for an arca compatible tripod, I’d go for the Fotopro version of this tripod. It’s identical in every way except that their fluid head is arca compatible and as a bonus it’s actually about $90 cheaper. Cheers!
Thanks a lot George! Absolutely, if you already own the arca swiss system that is definitely an option, thanks for adding it. I'm all for telling people to use what they're most comfortable with, not trying to convince or "influence" you. Frankly, I wish there was one single standard, but that never happens 😅
Awesome video, answered most of my questions, especially glad you dived deep into testing the thinnest leg section. I’m also heavily invested in the PD system and that’s still a barrier for me, but maybe I can buy the fluid head on its own for now
Thanks a lot mate, really glad this was helpful ☺️ As I say in my notes in the description, I just found a quick workaround for the opening of the legs. You can actually use the tripod on the thicker sections. Will post a Short soon! The whole system works well, so it's definitely worth a try. Hope to catch up with you soon
Indeed. I visited a few dangerous neighbourhoods and rough cities where you don't really want to tell everyone you carry expensive gear... Even the bag brand plays its role. Safety first.
Oh wow, was it? Maybe they learned because so far this has been good for me. The thing I noticed recently is that the handle loosens a bit in the bag when in rest position, but when I use it it's fine. The legs on the other hand are very satisfying to open and close ☺️
Yeah I totally understand your frustration, I also get angry when I spend money on something and it’s disappointing. And I regularly buy from Ulanzi so it’s helpful to know that someone is not satisfied. But I don’t know much about the geartree, has anyone reviewed it and found it so problematic?

Good review brought for $150 new on eBay
Hey, thanks a lot for the appreciation! I hope you're going to have a good time with it. I sure enjoy the much reduced weight on my shoulders

Keeping tripod in the backpack is a clever thing, depending where you are!

Great review! Just ordered it 😊
That's great Geese! I'm sure you'll have good fun with it! :)
I;m not sure if i'll be comfortable buying anything ulanzi for video after my experience with the geartree. Their video fluid head is complete trash

@@fabienb Hope they really learn, because the geartree is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination
