Wow traveling tripod awesome my friend 👍👍
Thank you so much 🙂
This tripod is the worst piece of garbage I’ve ever tried. I could easily move the ballhead around with relatively little effort when fully locked. Returned it immediately. You get what you pay for has never been more true. I can’t believe I was reaaly considering to replace my PD, which already is not providing enough stability with this toy after watching several UA-cam influencers praising it for no reason. It might be “good enough” to create 10min video but is absolutely not capable for seriuos photography. I didn’t even bother putting my camera onto it after my first impression, it got sent back the same day.
Dang that is rough. Sounds like you had a really bad experience with it and glad to know this. My go to is still my Manfrotto BeFree tripod, but I honestly haven’t had issues with this one yet. Ball head is tight. Doesn’t move when I tighten. I will say it’s not as stable as most, but that’s because it is so light for travel. As mentioned in the video.
Appreciate your feedback here.
@@DrewTooley The PD already did not perform well but at least it’s built quality is ok (a lot better than the SmallRig) but still not 600 $ level. During a time period of approx. one hour I sometimes had a shift of up to 16 pixels between the first and the last capture. That’s unaccaptable and the reason why I’m looking for alternatives. I’m assuming the reason for this poor performance is the upside down design of the already pretty unstable ballhead combined with the fact that PD don’t have a lot of experience with manufacturing tripods so I would expect a conventional ballhead design that’s been around for centuries to work well on a tripod from a manufacturer with a lot of experience with camera accessories. But the quality of those specific SmallRig tripods does not match at all what I’m used to from them otherwise. It’s rather at a 30-50 $ level than anything above that. Apart from the loose ballhead one of the plastic locking clamps did not close properly when the legs were collapsed. I'm currently looking into the Leofoto line up...
Sorry Tom I didn't see this response until just now. Wow I have heard PD is a great tripod, but this is valuable info. After using the SmallRig travel tripod more I still have not run into major issues other that what I said before. It is not a tripod I use daily and is more a backup at this point. Can't be torn from the Manfrotto tripod (much more stable). I really appreciate the chat and comments though. Always good to get other perspectives and chat about gear.
