Really liked the information you provided about the tripod/head real situation usage aspects as well as limitations. However not even mentioning your camera rig's weight was kind of a Newby mistake. Like what do you think is one of the Primary specs of a tripod, its weight load. So you should have said this review is being made with a 7.5 lb. camera rig or whatever the weight actually was. Otherwise there is no context. What if the load had been a 5 lb. for camera rig, which may have provided different results? Who knows we don't know what weight of your camera rig was. Please mention camera rig weight for 100% of your reviews going forward on tripod/head reviews. That says to me your a solid UA-camr to follow and you're giving key information to help the viewer make decisions about the whatever product your reviewing. That's the point right?

Quality video

Bro this is a great video

Thanks ! What mic Rode you use ?? (XLR on handle FX-3)

It definitely does make a sound and vibrates …😂

If I buy a matte box do the ND filters come with it or do I have to buy them separately? I’m super confused.

How do you get the rodemic to fit flush and not have lots of handling noise?

Is this netflix approved like FX3????

So I guess the vb50 would be okay for just shooting with a Canon R5 Mark II but no external monitor?

Thanks a lot ❤ I'm subscribing now

When you have the vmount battery attached at the back of the body, does the back of the xlr handle extension get in the way?

Love my new Tribex Perfect for our type of production Finally can discard my three foot monopod Your video is the best breakdown of all the how-tos Thank you!

I managed to get my hands on the next batch of the tripod and they have fixed the loose trigger problem!

Will it work with the free version of Devinci resolve?

Can I charge it while using it? I’d like to plug it in for power when shooting indoors and simply unplug the USB cable when heading out for outdoor shooting. Thanks

Apologies for using AI but it rewrote my terrible report and made it readable. **Introduction:** If you've been looking at quick-release systems, especially from brands like Ulanzi or Tilta, you might be interested in SmallRig's latest HawkLock H21 and H38. Initially, I wasn’t thrilled with these, but after giving them a second chance, I found they’ve got some impressive qualities worth highlighting. Here’s a full breakdown of my experience and why I think they’re a standout choice for certain setups. --- **First Impressions:** When I first got my hands on the H21 and H38 HawkLock quick releases, I wasn’t impressed. Right out of the box, they felt stiff and hard to work with. I left them on my desk for a few days, unsure if I even wanted to keep them. But each time I looked at them, I had to admit - the machining quality was incredible. The metalwork and design precision were noticeably better than any other SmallRig gear I’ve used before. --- **Build Quality & Tolerances:** One thing SmallRig nailed with the HawkLock is the build quality. The tolerances are near-perfect, giving the whole system an impressive solidity and premium feel. This is the kind of quality you might expect from high-end camera accessories, not something you find every day. In comparison, other brands like Ulanzi and Tilta, which are solid in their own right, don’t quite hit this level of finish and precision. --- **Learning Curve:** One challenge I initially faced was the release mechanism. The button on the HawkLock requires a bit of pressure to release, and at first, I found it too stiff. But once I got used to pressing it all the way in, everything started to click (literally and figuratively). The plate slides in with a smooth, satisfying feel, almost like it’s guided into place. That stiffness ensures everything stays firmly locked once it’s in, so it’s actually a feature that grows on you. --- **Compatibility Limits:** One drawback worth noting is that the HawkLock system doesn’t fully support a standard male Arca plate on a female HawkLock. There’s just no way to securely lock it in place, which limits compatibility if you’re already heavily invested in Arca plates from other brands. But, if you’re using it as an accessory mount or in setups where you don’t need cross-compatibility, this system shines. --- **Performance for Accessory Mounting:** Where the H21 truly stands out is accessory mounting. I found it to be an excellent choice for mounting smaller items like monitors, microphones, and lights. Once you’re familiar with the locking mechanism, the quick release system makes it easy to swap accessories in and out on the fly, which is a game-changer for fast-paced setups or run-and-gun shoots. --- **Final Thoughts:** The SmallRig HawkLock H21 and H38 may not be the most intuitive out of the box, but if you give them a chance, they offer a level of build quality and precision that’s hard to beat. For setups where you’re focused on quick releases for smaller accessories, they’re a fantastic choice. While the lack of universal Arca compatibility might be a downside for some, if you’re willing to work within their system, these quick releases deliver a level of reliability and ease that stands out. --- **Conclusion:** If you’re in the market for high-quality quick-release systems, I recommend giving SmallRig's H21 and H38 HawkLock a serious look. They might not be perfect for every setup, but for dedicated accessory mounting, they’re some of the best options out there right now.

I can only dream about this, im still using my canon t3i for 10 years already

That's way too low for my taste

What v-mount plate is that?

79 cm closed length? It is not portable at all!!! Won't fit to my largest luggage either!

Please do a 1min for 6months with fx3

Wow, how come that Sony (any Sony) is not a perfect camera? 😱

I currently shoot for brands. Mostly personal branding, car delivery and car related shoots. Mostly video production. Past years working with my canon 200d m2 (india). it is doing good, but now i want to upgrade my gear. I need log formats, 4k 60 shootings and a better battery than my 200d xd. i dont think spending L on full frame like fx3 or a7s3 is good. I can do lot with my basic capabilities gear which helps me. I shoot at iso 400-1000 in night times. fx30 has 800 and 2500 native iso which is more than enough. Request u to address my queries. Also I want to know what more is fx30 capable of. My upcoming projects are documentary, more n more of personal brandings, and short films in the future. Thank you bro :)

How's the weather sealing compared to something like the A7SIII? Yes, I'm asking because of the fan haha

Very cool rig - and thank you for being a real person on camera 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cost is comparable to pd i would say you get alot. Not cheap. What leg sreaders fit it?Thank You

Thank Remy for this DETAILED video review of SmallRig Audio handle extension & SmallRig Hawklock cage.

Great video, couple of questions as I want to use this to control Zoom rather than focus 1. When using it to control Zoom instead of focus, are you able to pre-program start and endpoint and have the focus motor automatically zoom in using the rocker or the internal motor? 2. Are you able to use the hand turn wheel for zooming instead of the rocker?

Nice vid but is it just me or you're using FF lenses on an APS-C camera? Isn't that pretty heavy.

What lens is that?

Is there a V-Mount plate that has power distribution that mounts to 15mm rods AND/OR can be mounted onto another V-Mount plate - Like a camera that has a V-Mount on it? Basically, my one camera setup is a mirrorless, and to use that, Id need 15mm rods. The other camera has a V-Mount at the back, but not enough power ports. So, Id like to sandwich this in between the camera and the V-Mount battery to have more power ports.

Ironically, the value of having a lot of light for flexibility with shutter speed and getting no grain is almost better for shooting 'night' in day if you can make it convincing in post processing...

It’s great I love it, I pretty much have the exact same complaints but overall so glad I bought it because I’ve done a lot with it

Vivement la pleine lune in french 🌝 15 novembre !!!

Nice job explaining lighting. Could you explain how you exposed for this lighting setup? Do you expose for the bright side of the face?

You can change the 2500 Base ISO? (Exposure/Color) → [Exposure] → [Base ISO] → desired setting? I may be wrong, don't have the camera infront of me right now.!

Use/less short without telling us about anoything other than best hybrid camera . You are a certified L OOS ER.

Not entirely true... if you watch any of the reviews from Christopher Frost's channel, you'll see that full-frame lenses actually tend to struggle on APS-C sensors. APS-C sensors put more demand for image quality on a lens.

Bro has a $20000 camera rig but does not know what is a clutch. We are doomed

Great video.

You are monitoring with your phone? doesn`t have a delay?

i got fx 30 with sigma 18-50 overall good for run & gun shoots . yeah base iso is a bit low but if i can control lights its good .

Is there much of a difference between 4K 60 fps vs 120?

I filmed a wedding this weekend and have been training another videographer. The first 2 we did together, we had issues with exposure as well as duplicating our coverage unnecessarily. I had the exact same idea as your first example and I will tell you firsthand it worked flawlessly. We used the Pyro H in our case. The image was crystal clear nearly the entire time even without line of sight, only a few times where it had some visual tearing. We got Hollyland Solidcom SE's for the last wedding and the real time communication is what made it all work. Giving him instant feedback and coaching him through the day was so beneficial and us filming speeches and me being able to see what angle he had and adjust my positioning was incredible. We were able to fix or improve a lot of shots that otherwise would have been mediocre or redundant. My gimbal rig looked pretty cursed having multiple monitors and antennae all over the place, but it actually felt pretty natural after a while. I think the only real drawback was that all the audio on the b-roll has us being like, "Check this out." and "That looks good as hell." and just being big ole dorks to each other over the intercoms, but that's more of an us problem. Another issue was that his A7siii was sending an S-Log3 image to my monitor because his was routing it from the HDMI loopout into an Atomos Shinobi where he converted it into HLG. If he had something like a Ninja V, he could route it from that into the transmitter instead and I'd get a nicely processed image, problem solved. I like to wait a few months to leave reviews because I want to see the longevity of this system, but I'm really falling in love with Hollyland's stuff. Big fan.

It really doesn't fix the problem. We've seen breakages even with this attached. It does not stop the flex. We are not posting here to promote our products, but the fact remains that our Top Handle solution prevents the breaks, period! It's a bigger investment, granted. But a small price to pay in my view as a user, before being a maker.

Heck of a rig!

Thank you

Sexy rig dude.

Matte box’s are great when you’re on a bigger crew because there detachable from the camera so someone could be changing the filter without having to be screwing filters on and off of the camera when the operator is trying to frame up a shot

This vs easyrig?
