UPDATE (6/29/20) You CAN buy extra iFootage Komodo plates separately!

[@tjamesmedia.]

Can you do an update with Komodo K5s vs K5 vs 500AH. Alot of people shopping in this price/weight bracket would love to see it.

[@derekvento6067]

Wow! The audio hooked me from the start. Subscribed!

[@zobotrombie]

Great video. The audio is fantastic.

Just bought the manfrotto using your link! I was looking for a drop in quick release video head for awhile now and didn't know manfrotto made one! i'm a video guy so i like to use the standard manfrotto plates and drop them in and out of my rig and tripods quickly for shoots and these work wonders! thanks for your review!

[@JustinValentino]

Thanks for the review. Background looks so nice and peaceful!

[@wailunkwok5483]

thanks for the comparison.

[@ByeLevi]

Just found your channel! Great content. Keep up the good work!

[@srinivas_visits_official]

Very useful, thank you 🙏🏻

[@skywalkerair]

Great review. Would love to see a comparison from the Manfrotto and newer K5S

[@moveabledo]

I just bought the Komodo for $130 through your affiliate link. I went to the footage site, signed up and got another 15% off. Amazon is $165 right now. I cant wait to try. I don't need smooth panning, per se, but I do need to be able to remove the camera often and return to zero each time, so the hash Mark's on the plate is what got me! And the smaller size!

Excellent video, thank you.

[@secretreleases]

Thanks for the comparison.

Nice video! You can eliminate the wind rumble in your audio with a high-pass filter :)

[@seancloutier2577]

great review...

[@wrzlbrnth4092]

I find the Komodo K5 plate too short for balancing larger lenses. IT works fine for primes or small zooms. That is a big deal to me. Also with the Manfrotto with the longer plate, I can get to the no parallax point for panoramas with some lenses without buying additional equipment. I chose the manfrotto. I also bought several plates for all my lenses. That is a great time saver. Not having extra plates was a serious problem for me with the Komodo.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

I got the K5 in a combo with the TC5S. While being of high quality, the panning really suffers from the rigidity that you described. I should have done more research and watched your video first. Also, your videos are so relaxing to watch and your video quality is superb!

[@PischkePerformance]

Not really an excuse, but I have found that fluid heads tend to wear in and be smoother with more use. Curious if the K5 pan might loosen up over time.

[@seancloutier2577]

you should do a complete video on how to do video with a tripod. that was the best part Cheers S,

Arca swiss compatible with Komodo K5 ?
