We are thrilled to have collaborated with Potato Jet on this groundbreaking project. Looking forward to seeing creators everywhere benefit from this innovative design. Come and take a look! You won't be disappointed!❤❤
I would love to have this amazing tripod on my next documentary project in the Atacama Desert. Tripods tend to be very uncomfortable, in every way, especially in extreme locations, but they are essential in productions. I would definitely really like to have this one.
I can't stand when UA-camrs launch collaborations that are essentially normal products with some gimmick and an inflated price. But this… this is different. It's incredible. I just ordered one, and if it works as promised, it's a product I've been waiting for years. Great job Potatojet!
@@SP-ly3vd It's still a lot, but if one is packing a lighter APSC camera (as am I), there are decent-nice tripods for WAY LESS. Of course, none of them are even near what this one offers, I'm no fool, I was just admiring it despite the price.
@@dasnack Then go and buy a decent tripod for way less that is meant for APSC cameras like a cheap Ulanzi. This is a multi thousand dollar tripod that is being sold for $800 and nothing in its price range can match it.
@@SP-ly3vd Yes, I already said that there is nothing that comes even close. If you read the original post is about admiration despite being out of my range, it was in no way, shape or form an attack so there is no need to be that defensive.
Honestly this looks brilliant, actually makes using a tripod look enjoyable. I never take a tripod with me anymore on small shoots cause it's just such a hassle. Would definitely love to get my hands on this. Best creator x gear collab I've seen by far!
I emailed Manfrotto and Miller 13 years ago to make a tripod with a clutch up top that would let gravity let the legs fall. But if they would have done it they wouldn't have nearly the amount of features SmallRig packed into this! Great Job!
I was just setting up my tripod the other day thinking surely you could just let gravity do the work and voila it gets invented… love it when that happens… Bravo 🙌. Hopefully they build a lighter version. I probably don’t need mine to hold a whole dude
That tripod is a dream come true! If I have to give a feedback is to make one version which is even smaller designed for maximum portability and lightweight setups. Wedding videographer often might need to cary 2 even 3 tripods and it would be great to have even more portable version with the sacrifice of only working for smaller cameras.
This is going to change the game for filming weddings. There's no time to fuss with tripods. This is a genuinely new category of tripod. I'm guessing in 5 years there will be 10+ competitors to this. But this will always be the OG.
Already have SmallRig FreeBlazer legs and a GH05 head that works flawlessly, but this checked off so many other boxes for me and is on order. This feels like the most substantial update in the tripod space in a long time, so I'm excited to try it!
I just picked up the new tripod from the store, and while it will take some time to fully test it, I can already tell it's as good as it looks-if not better. The build quality is outstanding, and it's clear that SmallRig didn’t cut any corners in the design and materials. This is a solid, reliable product. And the price? It makes other brands look less appealing in comparison. For years, I’ve heard that making a professional-grade tripod requires a significant investment, but you've proven that high quality doesn’t always have to come with a high price tag. I’m really looking forward to getting it out in the field. Thank you so much!
I don't even have a camera suitable for this thing, but I still want it for some reason. Its been fun seeing this go from an idea to a kick-*ss product. Well done.
🤩This is by far the most exciting filming gear I was waiting for this year!!! Huge congrats for you and SmallRig to develop it with such great usability in mind! 👏😎 Definitely a product made by people using it!
I’m curious to know how long in the video others say, “Alright, I’ll Bite.” It's 2:21 minutes for me. Well-thought-out product design. I appreciate the creator demographics this gear serves, and I'm excited to get myself one. Great job PJ & SmallRig.
I'm super excited for this! Right there with you that I find tripods way too slow to use but are still so essential. I think this is definitely going to be a game-changer and put the tripod back in the spotlight
As someone who goes after hard to get to wildlife up mountains etc, I can see how the fast set up would be a great great benefit, I can think of the top of my head a couple situationes where I have missed or gotten very shaky shots that were once in a long time kind of situations. Not everything can be filmed from a blind. While I cant really justify it now, it will come to me in the future.
man, every part of your pitch had me nodding along, all things I've had issues with before with other tripods, definitely going on the list to check out!
That is an awesome bit of kit. I struggled with Miller tripods, Satchler and a bunch of bent aluminium crap for the last 45 years. I'm not sure I would want to go back and do it all over again. But if I did I would want to do it with an orange handle. You go Gene and all the very best to you.
Super stoked to see this come to fruition. We ordered 2 for our company and cant wait to put it through its paces and see how much more efficient we are. We rock mirrorless and URSA broadcasting cams. Also finally something useful for video guys!
Really love the video and the attention to detail in the tripod's design. It’s clear that this isn’t just another influencer product-so well thought out and practical! But I’m honestly disappointed about the price difference. In the US, it’s $799.99, but here in Germany, it’s 927,90€. That’s a $225 difference, which makes it a tougher decision to purchase. I was ready for an instant buy otherwise!
As a filmmaker who went through many medical procedures that wound up costing him a good portion of his mobility and dexterity in one arm/hand, dealing with my tripod has been a very frustrating thing (dealing with any film gear has been pretty frustrating to be honest) I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on one of these!
Perfect, that’s exactly what I need. Only Edelkrone with the Stand Pro has had such a simple system so far, but this is truly a unique invention. On top of that, I’m a big fan of SmallRig; I love their products. So, sooner or later, I won’t be able to resist buying one.
Honestly, I'm sold! What an amazing showcase of this new piece of gear, like literally best I've ever seen. Can't get one right this moment (first batch is sold out anyways), but I'll pre-order or be ready for the next batch in November!
This is like the Davin Graham Steadycam cooperation back in the days! Taking a all over the world always used Equipment peace & rethink it, after 100 years without any improvements in the Product Categorie. I'm impressed!!
PotatoJet and SmallRig revolutionising TRIPOD as we know it! Hell yeah! I think the price is good for this kind of product. I was expecting thousands for some reason! If it will drop even to less amount - guys, I think you will change tripods forever!
Bought it. Because I'm one of your first 30k subs. And I love you and Kari too much. And I want everything you dream of to become true. And also because this is times better than my current bulky manfrotto.
wow, the hefty price tag sure seems like it's worth it. I love being able to rig monitors to the tripod, and not having to use a cage on my camera. Well done !
So proud of you Gene! A huge accomplishment and literally thought of everything that a filmmaker will need. Much love man and will be picking one up myself!
I don't know if I'm more impressed with the presentation or how in-shape you are since the last time I watched your videos. Either way, I want that tripod.
I’m surprised this didn’t get pitched earlier. Excited to see this be made and come to life. I hope that one of the next iterations of this will be a smaller version of
this is by far the most perfect sales pitch ive ever seen, im buying one.
I’m with you brother. The video alone has my wallet out and I only shoot stills. Lol
the last thing i need is another tripod, but you're right, i'm totally sold after watching this 😆
Agreed 🔥🔥🔥
Me too
just take my credit card already
We are thrilled to have collaborated with Potato Jet on this groundbreaking project. Looking forward to seeing creators everywhere benefit from this innovative design. Come and take a look! You won't be disappointed!❤❤
Well done to both parties!👏👍
I would love to have this amazing tripod on my next documentary project in the Atacama Desert.
Tripods tend to be very uncomfortable, in every way, especially in extreme locations, but they are essential in productions. I would definitely really like to have this one.
As much as I want to get this, I can't because it doesn't ship to Singapore. Are you all going to fix that?
It looks like a killer tripod!
Will you have it at IBC?
I can't stand when UA-camrs launch collaborations that are essentially normal products with some gimmick and an inflated price. But this… this is different. It's incredible. I just ordered one, and if it works as promised, it's a product I've been waiting for years.
Great job Potatojet!
i dont even shoot video , cant even afford to get it shipped to india , but DAMN I WANt ONE
DAMN IT, YOU BOUGHT THE LAST ONE! GIVE IT TO ME
Once I saw potato jet swing on his tripod I tried to order...backorder at Adorama zero at B&H
As a hobbyist there is no way I can ever justify the cost of the tripod, but damn if it doesn't look both exciting and useful at the same time.
$800 bucks isnt that bad even for us hobbyists. especially when Peak Design sells theirs for $600
Hobbyist here too, but wow…I might start saving. Decent tripods are already close to that price, and this would be a game changer.
@@SP-ly3vd It's still a lot, but if one is packing a lighter APSC camera (as am I), there are decent-nice tripods for WAY LESS. Of course, none of them are even near what this one offers, I'm no fool, I was just admiring it despite the price.

This was insane! Everything I wanted and DIDN't KNOW I wanted in a tripod!
Probably the best camera product I've seen in years.
Look at Potato Jet doing a commercial in his garage.. Knowledge!!
Between this and Smallrig’s collaboration with Caleb Pike on the 212 v mount battery, I am beyond excited to see what comes next!
Honestly this looks brilliant, actually makes using a tripod look enjoyable. I never take a tripod with me anymore on small shoots cause it's just such a hassle. Would definitely love to get my hands on this. Best creator x gear collab I've seen by far!

The Sachtler Flowtech tripods work with a single lever but they're three times the price of this!
ITS TIME
ARE YOU READY FOR WHAT THE JET IS POTATOE'ING
I was just setting up my tripod the other day thinking surely you could just let gravity do the work and voila it gets invented… love it when that happens… Bravo 🙌. Hopefully they build a lighter version. I probably don’t need mine to hold a whole dude
It’s sooooo freaking good! Well done man can’t wait to use it 🙌🏻
This honestly looks fantastic. People who use the end product extensively are always the most qualified to design it.
That tripod is a dream come true! If I have to give a feedback is to make one version which is even smaller designed for maximum portability and lightweight setups. Wedding videographer often might need to cary 2 even 3 tripods and it would be great to have even more portable version with the sacrifice of only working for smaller cameras.
If all gear companies were giving us everything we need without waiting 5 generations. this is amazing!
I think you sold this tripod better than any Smallrig advertisement did. Love it!
seems the most legit youtuber product collab ever! love the concept, if i still was shooting i`d be soooo sold on it!
This is going to change the game for filming weddings. There's no time to fuss with tripods. This is a genuinely new category of tripod. I'm guessing in 5 years there will be 10+ competitors to this. But this will always be the OG.
When you just bought a tripod, and this showed up in your feed...
I got a good name for this. The Tarantula...
It's already called the Tribex. Tripod + Ibex. The Ibex is a goat that can stand in nearly 90* cliff sides.
More products need to be designed with this kind of forethought and ingenuity!
Looks very promising and going to order now. :)
Already have SmallRig FreeBlazer legs and a GH05 head that works flawlessly, but this checked off so many other boxes for me and is on order. This feels like the most substantial update in the tripod space in a long time, so I'm excited to try it!

Thank you so much!
Obligatory:
Small Rig: "How many features do you want?"
PJ: "Yes"
Been checking on this every couple weeks for months. Checked today!...already sold out
I reaaally love these Smallrig x Creator collaborations. So many cool ideas and great execution.
literally placed my order this morning only knowing about the set up speed and none of the other bonus features mentioned. wow - can't wait!
There was a Canon C80 in there!!! Ordered one this morning to support the Jet. Hopefully, this will help our small YT channel grow.
I don't even have a camera suitable for this thing, but I still want it for some reason. Its been fun seeing this go from an idea to a kick-*ss product. Well done.
🤩This is by far the most exciting filming gear I was waiting for this year!!!
Huge congrats for you and SmallRig to develop it with such great usability in mind! 👏😎 Definitely a product made by people using it!
You had us at eye level with an iguana🤣 Congrats to the entire Potato family on this tripod!
Congrats, can’t imagine how much work it took to bring this to life!!
Totally sold it for me. Potato Jet, this video is amazing. WOW.
The best collaboration ever on UA-cam OMG
Never thought I'd be excited about a tripod
An product that actually serves the customer 🔥
0:46 your coffee pods container is full. lol idk why it made me smile knowing we have the same coffee machine! and soon the same tripod 😉
Geez, thats brilliant Tripod. Buying one right away. Thanks for that
I’m curious to know how long in the video others say, “Alright, I’ll Bite.” It's 2:21 minutes for me. Well-thought-out product design. I appreciate the creator demographics this gear serves, and I'm excited to get myself one. Great job PJ & SmallRig.

If Canon and Apple haven’t had announcements today this would have been all over the internet. Looks amazing and not a bad price.
Now that's a thoroughly thought out product!
Wholly crap. Sirui is gone; the Potato Tribex is in!
Most amazing pitch ever for a product. I’m getting one when they are in stock again.
Thanks PJ
How great is to see thechnology improve because of independent people's ideas
As someone who goes after hard to get to wildlife up mountains etc, I can see how the fast set up would be a great great benefit, I can think of the top of my head a couple situationes where I have missed or gotten very shaky shots that were once in a long time kind of situations.
Not everything can be filmed from a blind.
While I cant really justify it now, it will come to me in the future.
I can see how much time and frustration I would save myself with one of these tripods when heading out to grab a bunch of shots.
Well done guys!
Wow! Not sure which I am more impressed about - the tripod or the superb video work. Bravo, man! 👏
man, every part of your pitch had me nodding along, all things I've had issues with before with other tripods, definitely going on the list to check out!
soooooooo much hard work put into this for years now - Proud of you Potato!!!
The humility behind this tripod is astounding. This is truly next level, yet you're still so chill on it. haha INSANE DUDE.
That is an awesome bit of kit. I struggled with Miller tripods, Satchler and a bunch of bent aluminium crap for the last 45 years. I'm not sure I would want to go back and do it all over again. But if I did I would want to do it with an orange handle. You go Gene and all the very best to you.
This is the best promotional video I’ve ever seen. Well done!👍
Super stoked to see this come to fruition. We ordered 2 for our company and cant wait to put it through its paces and see how much more efficient we are. We rock mirrorless and URSA broadcasting cams.
Also finally something useful for video guys!
OUTSTANDING !!! Congratulations on such an achievement
Quite possibly the best sales pitch in history... if I didn't just buy a tripod (and also had a spare $800 lol) I would pick one up IMMEDIATELY.
What a Dream Tri-Pod... seems like everything got tossed in it... GREAT Summary Video!
I can’t wait I’m glad as a UA-cam product it’s not just a regular product with a logo slapped on it this is super useful
Potato Jet and Small Rig, what a great combination!
Really love the video and the attention to detail in the tripod's design. It’s clear that this isn’t just another influencer product-so well thought out and practical!

Great work on this! Tripod looks great and this video is really well done. 👏
As a filmmaker who went through many medical procedures that wound up costing him a good portion of his mobility and dexterity in one arm/hand, dealing with my tripod has been a very frustrating thing (dealing with any film gear has been pretty frustrating to be honest) I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on one of these!
That will be purchased alongside my next camera. Well done!
Perfect, that’s exactly what I need. Only Edelkrone with the Stand Pro has had such a simple system so far, but this is truly a unique invention. On top of that, I’m a big fan of SmallRig; I love their products. So, sooner or later, I won’t be able to resist buying one.
This looks fantastic! Especially for those of us who want a small lightweight kit.
FINALLY. ive been waiting for more on this. i need this N O W !!!!!
Congrats Gene! This is amazing, and what a sales video🎉 well done
Honestly, I'm sold! What an amazing showcase of this new piece of gear, like literally best I've ever seen. Can't get one right this moment (first batch is sold out anyways), but I'll pre-order or be ready for the next batch in November!
been a fan for years, love to see you come up with something this dope. ordering
This is like the Davin Graham Steadycam cooperation back in the days! Taking a all over the world always used Equipment peace & rethink it, after 100 years without any improvements in the Product Categorie. I'm impressed!!

Bro this is it! The best part of Sachtler sticks brought into a consumer level product. 10/10 gene this is epic, I can’t wait to use one
Damn, the delivery of that pitch fired me up 🔥 sick tripod!
THIS IS LITTERALY THE BEST TRIPOD EVER CREATED
This legit looks incredibly efficient. Congrats dude!!!
Absolute mind bend of tripod concept with a legend behind it….must have!
So proud of you Gene! A huge accomplishment and literally thought of everything that a filmmaker will need. Much love man and will be picking one up myself!
That looks like a really great design. 👍
This looks fantastic. May be Smallrig's best product yet.
This actually might be the greatest tripod of all time.
I think you might be the only content person who's product id love to buy tripods are the one thing I've always hated but this looks like a dream
This look delicious, good job Potato.
I've never been more hyped during a tripod promo piece!!! so good dude!
This is really cool, i wish it was possible to get the legs, only no fluid head, to cut the cost for dedicated photo shooters.
I don't know if I'm more impressed with the presentation or how in-shape you are since the last time I watched your videos. Either way, I want that tripod.
Wow $800 for the best tripod I've ever seen. AWESOME! Wish I got here early enough for one of the early models lol
Bro finally something that content creators actual use and need! Finally!
Well, this might be the only item that deserves the PRO in the advertisement. Dude, it has so manyyy features🎉😮
I don't usually get excited about tripods but Damn! Revolutionary is not too strong a word for this.
I will buy this beautifully made tripod to support this awesome channel and the awesome "Potato Jet."
This is great 👍🏼
I’m surprised this didn’t get pitched earlier. Excited to see this be made and come to life. I hope that one of the next iterations of this will be a smaller version of
i will be ordering one as soon as i can afford to do so. so excited that this is finally here. thanks gene and co.
wow this is amazing, i can't think of anything to improve. very well thought out and executed!
This tripod deserve an award
Best ads ever. Great job!!!!
Gonna put this in the budget for next year. Looks like the perfect documentary tripod.
Ordered immediately. Been looking for a tripod like this for some time. Thanks for the collab 👏 Next do a *sturdy monopod,* kthnxbye!
