Thanks for this review. Yes, indeed I do know a better brand: Novoflex (but it is as expensive as Gitzo but even more versatile)! Novoflex is very modular what makes it unique! 🤔
@5:00 for some reason I thought you just casually pulled out a Sony A7iii! I almost spit out my coffee. :) The tripod head has a Super Mario vibe to it. Hooray for colors! Camera gear can be kind of bland sometimes.
@@Red35Photography I think when I saw the red tripod mount for a second I thought it was a Sony. I've also been working a lot these days ;) (I know the only red on those Sonys is around the lens mount, so it extra doesn't make sense! But it was fun thinking you casually switched gear)
does the airhed neo level in both axes simultaneously (pitch and roll)? i'm not sure if i'm using it correctly, but my bubble levels can only tell me if i'm level in one of the axes, either pitch or roll (depending on the direction in which i mount the arca plate) but not both at the same time.
I prefer Brian. Taller when extended and more important shorter when collapsed. That so it fits inside the topbox on my scooter. Billy is just 1 cm to long.
And once again I am asking myself, WHY do they not simply make telescope legs where you just twist the last leg to tighten every element in one go instead of every element above individually to hold the leg below in place. Internal tightening mechanism are standard in every cheap broom. And trypods like that exist. And some aren't even as expancive as this one here. So why even buying a tripod that has an external tightening design, that needs way longer to set up too?
Thanks for dropping by mate. Well, I do have a tripod that uses internal tightening mechanism, which is broken. Yes, you can say it's 'easy' and some can be acquired for cheap (like I said, I am a collector), but they are not reliable and often fail. Once broken, it's almost impossible to fix. So, if one to make what you suggested, but with a reliability that a professional can rely on, then it can cost a fortunate. Manfrotto has a carbon monopod that is telescopic with internal twist lock, that thing costs as much as this tripod. But it's a very reliable boom stick for gimbal.
@@Red35Photography Oh, ok. I didn't know that it is a fragile design. Tbh I never had a broomstick where this mechanism failed. But that explaines why most trypods use external designs. And I thought it is another typical human "everyone else does it like that too" situation that just no one thought about changing it. My mistake.
@@FelanLP No worry mate, yeah, it's not reliable at all. External design is easy to maintain, clean, lubricate and service. It's also more reliable and can take more load by default. Internal design isn't all that sturdy. It works only if a substantial component is fitted inside the tube. hahaha but never say never, someone may just design something revolutionary that's more rugged, reliable and cheap.
I'm going to have to stick with my cheap but expensive MeFoto tripod. It can do most of what your's did but not all the legs come off, just one of them. Wouldn't matter for this anyways, the neck keeps this a foot and a half high anyways.
As usual, fun, informative, knowledgeable and inspiring. Thank you for your sharing.
Always brilliant and informative on each video
Thanks again mate!
Fine fine fine 👍
Of high shutter speed, >1/100, do you prefer to take photos handheld or with a tripod?
Interesting tripod! I must resist though, all the other tripods I have would get angry with me...
😂😂😂 well, I've trained all my other tripods to live together happily as a family (a growing one).
Looking forward to the circular polarizer video!
Cool, stay tuned :D
Really miss those good old photowalk days in North London this time last year
Are you not in London now?

hahah why would you think that I have a Sony?

@@jasonwrites9186 Oh yes hahaha I think Gitzo released a 'Sony' tripod that has a red or orange accent, same orange as on Sony cameras.
As a proud owner of an Albert 2.0, I stand by what you just said. Quality and stability is peerless
You should try the Vanguard VEO 3T+ 234CB (Impressive).
Oh, really? I should have a look
Thanks for the review Jimmy! Can we use the tripod head on its detachable leg when using it as a monopod?
Yes you can :)
@@Red35Photography brilliant!!!

Brian is taller and 'shorter' hahah but I love the less-sectioned Billy, it's almost like my Gitzo 100th anniversary model, just a lot cheaper :)
Hmmm, let me think ....Orange & Blue, eh? Nope! 🤣
One question 😅 how tall are you? For me the two most important things are more important for me than the color 😊
173cm ahaha
@@Red35Photography ah oki 😊 181cm here 😊 just returned from a mushroom shoot 😊 used the Manfrotto pixi mini tripod 😊
@@bamsemh1 I like the pixie mini tripod. I use it for vlogging. haha but it's too short for anything else.
