“I’m afraid to put the C500 on this tripod. ”........ “I’m not afraid to put the C500 on the edge of this Jeep.”
"It feels a little sketchy, let's do it". Why do I feel Gene uttered those same words many times as a child before shit went wrong. LOL 😂
Potato: I slept on it. Thought about any other potential cons of this thing...
Me: That must have been uncomfortable.
alex sandoval That’s exactly what I was thinking, when he said it.😂😂😂
I thought the same thing 😅
Same! 😂
Same #3
I've had this tripod since December and I can say it's amazing for travel, took it to South Africa and for more rugged travel def get the spiked feet
I have this tripod few weeks as a kickstarter baker. You should mention 2 cons. First: You can't move the head (on tho ball), if the center column isn't raised at least about an inch or so. Second: You can't use head panning with locked tilt and lean. If you want to pan, you always have to release the ball, which will destroy your tilt and lean position. The adapter for mounting other heads solved this easily. I'm using it with Manfrotto 500 fluid head and even like this is still unbelievable portable. And one important pro: the head is not depend on the dedicated plate, it's Arca Swiss compatible. Other things you said I can just confirm. It's solid, very well made, pleasure to work with and mainly pleasure to transport it. I'm not sorry about any single buck I paid for it.
"I would like to buy 6 pounds of poop"
_cut_
"I just got a new package"
"It feels a little sketchy - let's do it." 😂
Trial and error 😂
''Do you know how heavy a 20 pound camera is?'' Uh, 20 pounds?
THAT C 200 AND THAT SIGMA COMBO!! OMG, THAT IMAGE IS AMAZING!!!!
Just got more today... they absolutely killed it! So well designed, so many little details that were perfectly considered!!!
"If this works though, this would be a great thumbnail". "Holy sh*t..." 🤯
I love how you captured the "changing the subject" mood when cutting to talking about comments from the open tequila bottle bit 😂
Gene (potato) : it feels a bit sketchy though, let’s do it
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😀😃😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😀😀😀😃😀😃😀😀😃😀😃😀😃😀😃😀😃😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😃
That 2.8 lens at the end looked so good and so professional.
Disappointing to not hear any criticisms or cons from a known product with problems - hope Gene keeps it real and doesn't sell out too fast :(
i think most of those problems are for photographers
@@wmosleycr7 Well yeah - no-one shooting video would be using this due to the head design - unless you replace it or use the wobbly adaptor method Gene uses thats not really suited for decent stability.
kane01337 well he did say there will be a video head adapter. This tripod is not really made for what he does. So i can see why he can’t really give it cons.
This is a Gene Nagata vid!?! Dayum!!! I thought this was a Potato Jet vid the first time I watched it.
Hahaha spent days checking out different reviews on travel tripods. Hit Potato Jet and I’m like, SOLD!
Drop all, Gene Potato vid up
Gene’s philosophy for life: “it feels sketchy though...let’s do it”
2:00 that's where BTS shot their latest performance Music Video for ON
Yeah !!!!
Do you know the address, I would like to check it out.
this dude filmed party in the USA and doesn´t remember its title.
He didn't film it dude, he said he was an extra in it🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
For the 24-hour vlog, I think you should do like a 24 hour roadtrip and vlog that. That way the 24-hour thing is just a way to present the content and doesnt end up being the main goal.
maybe do an episode on this channel just reading comments?
Peak Design mostly overprice just like Edelkrone
What about testing the Sigma 24-70 vs Canon 24-70L II?
I kickstarted the aluminum version. Totally worth it.
Big fan of you since the beginning of your channel and here you end up in the shooting location of the last BTS's music video (big fan of their music too), love it.
I can listen to you ramble for HOURS pls make a podcast!!
You should get the Laowa 65mm f2.8 2x macro aps-c lens for you Sony a6600.
I just picked up mine today and I love it!
Imagine when you've been hiking for five hours to that perfect spot, start putting your ultra light weight tripod up...
And realize that you've lost that darn Allen key! 😅
I've owned the 24-70 art for a year now, it's ace!
Had it for years at my old job. Just got the 24-70 canon and i like it more. much better weight distribution and even focus ring size compared to the zoom ring, along with it being lighter overall.
Wow bro, 599.00? When you first said it was expensive, I was thinking 2-3 hundred!
I love mine. Got in on the Kickstarted campaign so I've had it for a while. One word of caution: be very careful that you put the hex wrench into its holder all the way! I lost mine and it's a $20 replacement thing, though I did get the replacement quickly and it came with a bushing tool as well, plus a nice little bag.
The wrench can be put into its holder two ways, and one way it is a little tighter, so try to remember to put it in that way every time.
I have the Universal Head Adapter and the extra feet (which you put on the bottom of the top leg section after removing the lower sections to give you a tabletop tripod with a lot less weight), but another warning: make sure you don't lose the bushings on the top end of those lower sections when you remove them and have them sitting around or in your bag while you have it in this formation! If you lose a bushing, your legs won't tighten on that top section.
Every time I see footage from your C500, I think to myself, self, maybe I want to be a videographer. Seriously, it's such an incredible picture that it inspires me to want to figure out a way to make it a major part of my life.
Sir luv ur work
the warranty is definitely good - i got the same tripod through kickstarter and the one part you can't just replace (the little clips to change leg angle) had a defect and cracked but they sent a new leg out right away and it was really easy to replace
There was a woman years and years ago that used to stream her whole life, think she was the first to do it, Jennifer Ringley aka Jennicam.
Tacos de Birria and Tacos de Lengua?!?! I know what I am having for dinner tonight!
I haven’t had a chance to use this tripod, but man, I really turned against it when it was released because of how aggressively PD marketed it. It was impossible to find a legit, real world review- which was especially annoying considering it does have a few questionable design choices and limitations. But to be fair, it also seems to be really good at what it’s intended for.
Ive had mine since January, really great tripod. 100% worth it.
Wow... talk about lifetime portable tripod. Just the price is definitely hard to swallow for a budget system.
Every time when Gene says Genious. Love it!
Good call with the tequila bottle in the car because if it’s open,it has to be in the trunk lol by the way I love your content keep up the great work bro.
Gene's casual off the cuff videos still epic 🔥😂
Big inspo' Potatojet!
Ending the video with... tequila!🕺💃
love your channel dude. you crack me up
Made me buy the Peak Design tripod with that last test.
Sepulveda Basin, used to skateboard at the dam until I fell. At least I didn’t break my arm
Got mine during the Kickstarter...carbon fiber...love it!
The fact that I live about 15min away from the dam but never attempted to actually check it out and to find out it's accessible just like that and a cool spot to shoot at...welp, I know where I'm shooting at next weekend haha
You're Looking the Best inn this Thumbnail, lol I wasn't kidding.
Mine is on the way🌟
I wondered why he got it for free then realized it’s been 9 months since the first wave of reviews went out, so it’s about time Peak Design reminds everyone of this tripod’s existence and impending arrival on the retail market for customers.
Perfect timing . Was waiting for this
He got you with those birria tacos! 🌮
I really love the Gene blogs where it's just behind the scenes on your day to day life and work. Please can we have more of Gene and less product stuff on this channel?
Hey another Potato Jet channel!! Thank you and Sam for posting!! I was looking for a video that is on your other channel and couldn't find it ....and PANICKED!! Then realized this is another channel Ha Ha Ha!!! Cheers!!
I WANT ALL CAMERA STUFF! 😂 IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK? 😂😂
How have you never seen Sam’s magical backyard? Sounds like the perfect place to shoot test footage.
got mine from kickstarter. its just really good for people who needs a reliable tripod and compactness during traveling, just because I do travel a lot, lol
waited many months for this from their kickstarter campaign; totally worth the investment and weight...I mean wait...LOL
I bought two on kickstarter and love them! Expensive but so worth it!
Wow, I've been going back and forth about this tripod because I already own a Mefoto travel one but Gene, you convinced me to get it. 😁That shot of the Alexa on the tripod, whoa...made me super nervous 😂
Do a 24 hour vlog using only the security cameras in your house and maybe one handheld. It will be just like Paranormal Activity......
I would like to see peak design bring out a video version of this tripod complete with a fluid head
2:01 When you casually find the set of what's going to be one of the most viewed music videos of the year.
BTS - On.
Thought about buying it, but now fir sure buying it!
Yussss!, ur in mah hood now homie 😎😎
Potato: I would like to buy 6 lbs of poop
Potato again: Just got a package I’m very excited about.... 😂😂😂
This looks waaay better than location scouting in the Minnesota winter...
so much has changed over there since I was a kid. miss walking in the canal's find thing after the rains.
still like the one you use with the red quick release. Its on the Xmas list this year.
This is some of my favorite types of content
Thx for the review... I am still waiting for this tripod to be shipped to my home... darn... took so long...
Video abruptly ends with 20lb camera mounted. For the price and weight limit spec it should be consisting of unobtainium or some titanium.
Wow! Very impressive tripod. Right now (and until I can afford a $500 one) my super light travel option is to use my Insta360 monopod with a Moman Mini Tripod. That the setup you showed! 😍
Awesome video, thanks!
In terms of compact lightweight tripod, thoughts about the more humber Marsace XT-15 ? Carbon fiber and 900g only (but 6kg of load only - definitely enough for mirrorless setup)
You look so awesome on your thumbnail
When Gene forgets he bought a lens and you track your big orders every single minute...
How much play and wobble would you say there is? I may be shooting with a 200-600, landscape and wildlife, and too much wobble is a dealbreaker.
I agree, the PeakDesign tripod is getting a lot of 'too expensive' and 'it sucks' by people who have not used a production version. In my view given that its 1.2kg including the head and its size its good value making things smaller but still workable is expensive. I put it on the back of my backpack now next to my (still dutch so raining all the time) my umbrella and with the raincover on nobody even knows its a tripod and you have much gear with you.
I just looked at the tripod today, and you made a video about it. It’s insane
*this video is brought to you by..*
dang it i was just dreaming my bad
edit: 14:26 one feet...one *foot*
Are there any open spots left for the next trip? I'm assuming no, but is there a way to be notified if someone cancels? Love the videos. 😎🤙
Holy Crap that thumbnail gave me anxiety!
Redbull just filmed motocross stunts at that dam
Not even a word about the new fuji xt4. Only canon, definitely not sponsored at all
2:00 GATTACA dude.... and car commercials
The price on that tripod though. It’s a gimbal price
Great video, first time on your channel, won't be the last!
Gene's mind had been blown for several time in this video hahaha
These things aren’t out yet? Seems like it’s been forever.
I was looking for this video on potato for soooo long, then I remembered you had a second channel. Lmao
I cannot tell if the party in the USA cameo is a joke or not
No really, that’s me back there 😂
@@GeneNagata I could only stomach one watch-through, and you didn't leap out on that one viewing. I'm sure you're in there somewhere in cut-off jean shorts, a tank top and a vest "movin' your hips like yeah..."
next time i go into camera store: i'm looking for a new tiddie height tripod
Notification Squad what’s up?!
Hi Chris :]
@@GeneNagata whats up!
30 minute late Notification Squad whats up!!!!????
What's up🤙
Literally just did a shoot there
i just bought the carbon fiber and couldnt be more happy. at first i was like ay yi yi the price but then i was like you know. its worth it.
the con: not yet shipping!!!
5:41 It feels a little sketchy tho... *LeTs d0 It*
man that new lense looks so good!
