    I had one of the smallest Gorillapods for 6 months and it fell apart. I'm now using a mini tripod that originally had an old telescope on it, 40 years ago..YES you heard me correctly 40 YEARS ago! Things were built to last in those days. It's as good as new!

      Yes it was very frustrating. The legs came apart but more important DIDN'T GRIP ROUND POLES. The magnets were great so if you worked off a steel plate it was fine.
      Cheaper metal CLAMPS are much better.a

      I hear ya on that. I typically get about a years time out of one of them and then it needs to be replaced because one of the legs will detach. I can click it back in and still use it, but I can't trust it completely at that point.

    @Yyortt Před 4 lety +3

    Great informative video! I personally use Joby knockoffs before even tho they tend to break after a few months of rugged use; but for what you pay for them, they're well worth it. Nowadays I opted out of those bendable tripods and stuck with those mini tripod legs from gimbal manufacturers like zhiyun/feiyu. They're made of rugged metal, feels more durable than Jobys and can carry a lot more weight. Downside tho is you can't clamp them on railings and/or uneven surfaces.

    And they have the entire package for about $100.00 USD!!!

    I own the 3k and it does the job. I wouldn’t really go over 4lbs with it. I use the Sony a6400 with the sigma 16mm 1.4. I also keep my camera in a smallrig cage with a wooden handle and wooden grip. My rig is less then 3lbs though so it works just fine. I do like the ball head and quick release better on the 5k though. If price wasn’t an issue, of course I would just buy the 5k, but my 3k works just fine for now.

    • @purepanorama8484
      @purepanorama8484 Před 4 lety +1

      I have the same set up as you, right down to the cage. Although, I am becoming annoyed with trying to figure out where I like the microphone placement on the a6400. I've tried it out in a few different spots, and just can't settle on a spot that seems to satisfy me yet lol. I like it mounted over on the same side as the mic jack, but I hate how it sticks out to the side. It looks goofy in my opinion, and I prefer it to be up on top of the camera. I'm going to pick up some other mounting options to attach to the cage and see if I like it mounted up top on the same side as the mic jack. I've just been running it in the hot shoe on the camera and not using the flip up screen, because I know sony's auto focus will lock onto me, but I'd still like to check the screen once in a while to see if my exposure changes at all while I'm talking to the camera. Gotta love these 1st world problems we stress over lol.

    • @TJuice1986
      @TJuice1986 Před 4 lety

      pure panoRAMa haha, you and I are exactly alike. I’ve mounting the mic in several different spots. I like it mounted on the grip side with the coldshoe mount but the mic cord is so long it’s annoying. But anywhere else it annoys me more so I just kinda settles on that. Plus it acts as something to grip onto while I’m holding the camera with one hand.

    Hi Sean...I'm relatively new to CZcams, just started my channel a little over 2 weeks ago, thanks to several of your videos but I'm currently using the tripod you guys had on your quick start tools guide, not sure what the exact name of that guide was sorry, but it's the Ravelli 61" lightweight tripod, now I use it at its shortest since I have it on my desk but I was wondering what kind of set up I would need, now mind you I record with my Samsung S10+ phone for now, but what would i need, as far as a tripod to do videos where its focusing on my hands while I work on something. Like if I'm wanting to do a crochet tutorial & need the camera focused on my hands? I would like it so I can actually see what I'm doing as well but without having to stand & watch thru the view finder, if I have to I will but any help on this would be very much appreciated as i trust your recommendations. Thank you so much & I'd be honored if you'd check my channel & give me some feedback. I know you're SWAMPED but it would mean a lot. I do do some editing & had a friend make up my intro & outro videos but I also like being somewhat raw in that if I make a mistake, unless its HUGE, thay I just keep going but I'm hoping I picked up your tips accurately when it comes to thumbnails, descriptions, etc. Sorry this got so long but got overly excited...LOL! Thanks SO MUCH for all you do for your online family, you guys are awesome! Have a great night!
