SPECIAL THANKS:

Might add this to my collection! Thanks for sharing!
The run-and-gun master himself! Appreciate you ✊🏼
Good review, mate. Well presented and cool to see your testing.
Thanks Julian! I appreciate the kind words buddy 😀
Great review, thank you, this is what I needed to help me make my decision! Looking at photos, I felt like the little locking pin looked weak, I didn’t trust it, so to see someone actually put it through its paces was great! I’m just starting out, and I only really mount to one tripod right now, but being able to switch between handheld and mounted quickly will be such a huge benefit!
I’m glad you enjoyed the review!😀best of luck with all of your upcoming projects
Thank you so much for the review! I bought it because of this video 🖤
My pleasure buddy! Thanks for watching :) Let me know how it treats you!
Great video! Thanks for making it!
Thank you for your kind words! Stay tuned for more reviews to come 😃
Purchased! Great review!
Thanks Teddy!🙂I appreciate your kind words. I hope it serves you well!
Great video!
Thanks buddy!😀I appreciate your kind words
damn that was such a great review
Thanks buddy!🙂I really appreciate your kind words
This looks like a pretty killer piece of equipment, it’s nice the mount is Arca Swiss. Maybe I should get one of these for a gimbal 🤔 thanks for the info!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the info. The Arca Swiss compatibility is so nice… I love that they made both the top plate and base plate both compatible with Arca Swiss. Let’s you just leave the top plate attached to your camera and you can put it on most tripods that don’t even have the base plate if you want.
Let me know if you have any questions I can answer and best of luck with any upcoming projects!
I've been using these for years. On every tripod and gimbal and camera I own now. They just work. You do need to screw the base on tight though. But I have cages on my cameras so that's not an issue.
I use them on every one of mine as well! They are so handy. Being able to pop your camera off in a second is incredibly convenient!
Bro showed the pros like it was just a youtube like button only, great video
Thanks so much for your kind words Alex! :) I'm glad you found value in the review. Let me know if you have any questions on products in the future or additional items you would like to see me review.
Ni, thanks for the video…Can you purchase a separate D ring screw on this system?
I tried this but unfortunately there was not enough room underneath of the system to connect it to the plate. You could maybe get it to work if the ‘head’ of the D-ring that you buy is very thin or if you somehow shave it down with another tool.
issue with this is the plate under the camera, it keeps coming loose and you have to keep retighten the plate , i wish it had a twist to tighten it under
Yes I agree it would be nice if they had that feature!
Hoping you can help....I bought the F38 kit for DJI RS3 and I can't get the Falcam plate to slide into the arm adapter on the RS3. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m happy to help! I have the same set-up. Shoot me a message on Instagram at grantburks_vu. I’ll send you a video of how to put it together!
Payload is impressive but i would be affraid of the 1/4 mount on the camera, for example Fuji threads can rip out quite easily
That’s definitely something worth considering! I have not had any challenges with the threads on my Sony Cameras, but the Fuji threads might not be quite as strong. Thanks for your thoughts!
does the for pd clip mean that it is completely compatible with it as well?
This is a good question and I’m actually not sure! Does anyone else have any insight here?
I found the plate does come loose if you accidentally rotate the camera. The camera effective acts as a large lever. They need to add some barings to the bolt mechanism to keep force applied, like some other the other quick release systems.
I have the same issue. I was told to use pins but I haven't tried it yet
@@BrandonTLuong There is an "Anti-Deflection Plate" which might help.
re: ULANZI F38 Quick Release Anti-Deflection Plate Quick Shoe Quick Release Plate
Yes if the plate is locked in place on a tripod or some other system and you rotate the camera it is likely to loosen the plate. When this happens I pop it off of the tripod, tighten it back up with a tool I keep attached to my pants, and pop it back on the tripod.
do you know if it works with every arca swiss? like the peak design arca swiss
I don’t know for certain but I have heard there are compatibility issues with some of the peak design gear.
I image you do not own a peak design camera clip, if you do, have you found an alternative to fix the compability problem with those two?
Unfortunately I don’t own a Peak Design camera clip. I do know Ulanzi does provide a camera clip product as well though! I believe it’s called the Ulanzi Claw. I would recommend taking a look into that item!
@@GrantBurks Thanks man!
@@YoussefHallouly my pleasure buddy!
Afaik Ulanzi now sell a plate that is compatible F22 plate that is compatible to PD Capture Clip V3
Great review, but I noticed some items are not all Falcam F38 Quick Release System starting Time 2:37?
Thank you! I think you’re referring to the shot with the Manfroto tripod. I removed the mounting piece that came with the tripod and replaced it with the base of the Falcam F38!
I’m curious does the plate feel tight in mount or will the camera have any wiggle after it connects?
No wiggle when the top plate is in the bottom plate! The connection feels super secure even without the deadlock mode on. I love how well the pieces fit in place.
Let me know if you have any other questions Nathan!
Mine does have wiggle even after really tightening it. And I’m only using a Fuji XT5 and a pancake lens, nothing heavy. So promising, but so disappointing.
@@whatthefitt hey! What does it feel like is causing the wiggle?
Those built in tightening screws on other plates are actually a con. They get loose over time and constantly get in the way of the connection.
That’s good to know!
Any chance you could do a review of the Ulanzi Claw?
I’ve got a few other reviews I’m working on at the moment but I’ll go ahead and get the Ulanzi Claw added to the list!🙂 Any other items you would like to see a review on?
@@GrantBurks Not unless you know of any gear that can solve this weird problem I’m having. I have tripod heads with arca Swiss plates. But I have a neewer shoulder rig that has a different plate. (Seems to be the size of a Manfrotto 500 plate.) I do not like the neewer plate because it’s so hard to attach and detach. So I’ve been looking for a solution and found your Falcon F38 video!
@@airavearentertainment9186 ahhh I see! I think the Falcam F38 would actually be a great solution for your challenge! If I’m understanding correctly, you need to be able to utilize a system that will allow you to switch back and forth between your Arca Swiss Tripod and Neewer Shoulder Rig and the mounts are different sizes for both of them.
In that case, you should be able to simply lock the base plate into the mount for your Arca Swiss tripod (the F38 base plate fits the Arca Swiss mount) and then screw another base plate onto the plate on your shoulder rig (the f38 base plate has a thread mount you can use to screw it to other plates)
From there, just order a top plate to connect to your camera and you’re smooth sailing! Did that all make sense?
Posso usarlo sul gimbal Manfrotto mvg460 e testa Manfrotto mvh500ah? Grazie
You should be able to use it on both of those plates! You simply screw the base of the Falcam F38 onto the Manfrotto plate and you're all set.
Do not buy I got the f38 quick release tripod and quick release plate and the shoulder mount for my canon r6 and and the screws don’t stay tight on the bottom of my device and with in a few minutes of movement are loose
Interesting! I still haven't had any issues with mine. If yours are coming loose, I might recommend reaching out to Ulanzi to see if they will provide you a replacement. Sounds like there might be an issue with your model. Best of luck!
Thanks bro. But music is too hi in video and your voice is not very pleasant to hear, i mean maybe you do it in purpose?
Haha I appreciate the feedback 😂 not doing anything with my voice on purpose. I’ll work on that.
nice review no info missed. please drink water.
Haha I appreciate it! Did I sound a little hoarse?😆
@@GrantBurks You seems like a little bit tired🤣
@@Rain_Guo noted!😂I promise I will bring the ENERGY on the next video!
DON'T BUY THIS!!!!!!!! ULANZI F38 (SAMETHING) Camera Quick Release Plate sucks I've had cameras to fall off tripods and one broke and also it gets stuck sometimes..
That’s odd, I’ve never had my camera fall off of one and they’ve lived on all of my cameras for the last 2 years. Do you think it might have been a defective one or a tightening issue?
@@GrantBurks When it did fall off it wasn't because it was loose, when the tripod it fell off completely from the quick release place I might have had a defective one. But I will say I did have a heavy lens and a camera with the battery grip. That might have been a reason. The lens I had was a Rokon 135 mm lens not a super heavy lens but it was a little heavy and I had that connected to a a73 with the battery grip. It may have be to heavy for it because thats the camera that fell off twice The first time I thought it might have been my fault but when it happened the second time I knew it was the quick release plate, luckily I was there to catch 2nd one.. but when I had a second one to get stuck I was like nope I'm done I'm normally okay with getting at least one defective equipment I can understand if it was just one defective one but I got two of them and that's when I said nope I'm done.
@@EyeLensWeddingVideography dang I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with it... glad you were able to catch your camera the 2nd time. As I mentioned, I haven't yet had any issues with it and I put 20lbs of tension on it and it still held steady when I tested it. It might be worth sending a message to their customer support team and they can try to give you a new one. Best of luck with all of your future shoots!
