Thats been my Situation for a year, not because my tripod is expensive, but because I shot everything on a German analogue camera from 1978 ^^ (Practica MTL-3 with a 50mm f/1.8 kit lens)
Hey Kai, im glad i've come across your videos again. You were the first person I found when I was 16 looking for camera tips!! Glad to see you regularly uploading to this day!
Put one leg in the direction you’re shooting so you can get close to the camera. Brilliant tip. In all my years using a tripod I never thought of that. Well, Kai’s always good for a laugh.
Interesting tips on tripod use, particularly with which section of the legs to extend first under what circumstance. You are clearly very experienced. Thanks for making this video!
That's more than my whole camera set-up with 3 lenses plus my PC, monitor, table and my tripod oh and I'll throw a GoPro 3+ on top. Guess that would be about 1 grant, damn it I saved 200 bucks. That'll be for food, gas and drinks😂
With big video camera tripods we extend the bottom section first... That way you can raise or lower the tripod without having to bend down. Its also less awkward with heavier cameras if you are adjusting the legs closer to the camera. Also because we usually stand to the left side of the camera we normally one leg back and two forward so you can step into the side of the camera to operate.
I purchased my tripod several years ago. It was designed for a video camera so is really sturdy but I swapped the head on it for a Benro ball head and now it works pretty damn well. I may not be the most convenient tripod to haul around but it does the job.
Always liked you since your debut with DigitalRev,. Man you always make so I put on a smile :) even in this weird time ! Thanks so much from Montréal Canada.
I've found two tripod setups ideal for me: 1. A ball head on the tripod when shooting wildlife and air shows (for swift panning). 2. A second tripod with a three-way gear head for landscapes and macros. This allows slow panning through each axis to insure ideal composition and checking depth of field. A ball head would immediately flop in all directions when loosened. BTW: I wish all lenses had tripod collars for quick rotation from horizontal to vertical aspect (or vice versa). I enjoy using tripods for "serious" photography, mainly because it slows me down and I concentrate on fore and background, composition, DoF, exposure, etc (oh yeah, it also reduces camera movement).
I think the suit jacket was on point, my personal suggest is to try from time to time (especially when reviewing expensive stuff) wearing one of those Armory suits like you used to do in 2014
also not a bad idea to attach camera to tripod and use it as a stabilizer when doing handheld videos. that extra weight helps a lot. (experiment with the spread)
7:30 or use the app/link for your camera if it has one. Most are compete trash but I have used my canon DSLRs connected to a laptop so I don't have to touch the rig
Thanks for this episode of 'Pimp My Kai' don't forget your smart phone can act as a remote with your wifi enabled Canon just grab the (free) app you get the FOV displayed on your phone along with the control menus
Great tips, Kai! Thank you! I have yet to buy a tripod but need to. Not sure what type of head would be best for me. Any suggestions would be helpful. You look smashing, btw. lol
Nice looking tripod design, but I'm guessing the center column cannot be flipped over into a horizontal position for top-down images like my Manfrotto? That's a feature I use quite often. Nice to see more companies putting out good quality tripods though. The more choices on the market the better, even if some of them are priced a bit high. Thanks for the review, Kai!
Do you shoot your monologue first then shoot to fill or do you make your monologue after to match the craziness you have captured? Curious and entertained filmmaker here.
This entire video is just oh so mildly perverted. Right up my alley.
Justin yeah classic kai :D
Kai with a tie. This is a a global first. I am speechless. What the lockdown can do to a human.
#kaitie
The londonreal look I like it.
Man that "two legs forward on a slope" is a great tips that I don't know. Way to simulate all the situation in your own home too!
Does it supports L bracket?
@@64viji The Peak one? Yeah, just remove the two little safety stops on the head and it'll take mostly anything ARCA compatible.
@@ImpulseVigil Yep this is correct. Mentioned in their instruction manual
I legit went out into the lounge room and made that tripod tent for my daughter and she loved it haha
I love how everything Kai touches turns to pervy 😂
When a tripod costs more than your camera
oooooooof
Edit: just looked up the price and had a half hearth attack, this thing must be made out of gold

I havent got a tripod. Do I need a camera too ?
If you buy this one you won't be able to afford a camera. You should just plan to buy a flip phone mount for it. lol
You have a phone, right? Well, there’s your camera!
Would like to see more videos for those of us on a $5 to $0 camera budget.
No
Just use A4 sheets

I did not watch this video for tips, but for pure comedy content
I just made 2 teepees from tripods. I’m a hero at my house. Thanks Kai!! Lol
That would be about $1,200 in my country for the carbon fibre one 😲
LAZY DOG 😱
"It's for a good cause" or something...
Get an induro or benro and give 500$ to charity.
Same it's about 1.3k here . I can either but this or a used a6000 with kit lens or viltrox 85mm f1.8(1.6) fe

Oh no, the intro raised the hopes of a video of alternative tripod uses! The tent was SUCH A COOL idea! I want more xD
Ha the tent idea is amazing! My sons going to love it
I've been watching the camera channel and now this channel. Trust me, the speaking tone DOESNT CHANGE AT ALL FROM 8 YEARS AGO

Yes. Thank you. You just saved me 5 min of agonising typing on my phone...

I’ve got a sick sense of humor, I cackled at every innuendo.
Hey, I just came across your videos, and this quickly become my favourite youtube channel. Keep up the amazing content!
Great advice a few things I've never thought about! Thanks
Always liked you since your debut with DigitalRev,. Man you always make so I put on a smile :) even in this weird time ! Thanks so much from Montréal Canada.
Im shivering at the sight of those boulders in your sensor Kai!
Reading the sponser-blurb like that really comes over as "*sigh*, ok here it goes because I have to.." :)
When there's a similar brand name so that you can only say "Triple legged thing" and "3 legged friend"
Even though I knew all these tips, it was a great video. Loved the energy- good work :)
That price though... Oiy.
"I don't have any hills in the apartment, so I have to make do" - love it.....great tips!
You definitely are most entertaining photo nerd. Such a pleasure to watch your videos.

Dancing with the tripod is one tip added. I enjoyed watching Kai! More vlog!
Who doesn’t like your videos?!??? Another outstanding and thoroughly entertaining one!
Cheers

8:11 you've got some dust on your z6 sensor
Yudis , dust? looks like SH*T😍
Its a D780
@@ABPhotography1 Look at the bottom right corner of the camera.
Oh hey! The tent idea is great one! I'm gonna try this later!
I could not stop myself from bursting out in laughter when that tripod started to throw that ass back on you X_X
oh god the two specks on the sensor are killing me
Where?
Good on ya, your enthusiasm is inspiration! Stay home, stay safe!
Thanks Kai, very cool.
Three is the magic number calling out De La Sol - LOVE IT!!!
I feel like he got his creative humor back!
Kai I keep waiting for the A7Siii to come out with every video. Please Please tell me you have seen it in the wild!
Man your confidence is goals!
Still waiting for the "Throwing Crap Out with Canni Kon" episode. 😌
I have one of those Ultrapod II mini pods, you can strap your camera to a tree or anything protuding and solid, really handy thing
cute bag. even cuter tripod. nice vid as usual kai
Camera strap on the tripod hook = brilliant Thanks K
These tips are great, as great as this Kai's green velvet jacket outfit 👏🏻
helpfull tips cheers ✌️!!
I think the suit jacket was on point, my personal suggest is to try from time to time (especially when reviewing expensive stuff) wearing one of those Armory suits like you used to do in 2014
Thanks for the video. 😁👍
I appreciate your humor, thanks for the tips good man. Got the reference =D
Yeah looking forward to the next three legged bros conversation!
Thanx, very helpful tips👍
Great video.. love the tips and humor.. 3 thumbs up.. lol
love that video your videos are always great fun
In case if anyone's wondering it's Omega Military Vintage 1953, also known as Fat Arrow)
Been searching for this comment. 🙏
But, can you guess which Apple Watch I have though?
@@TheLokCheung Yes.
@@TheLokCheung I love you.
Kai, I like this video but I love that velvet jacket with the handkerchief. Keep up the stylin cloths and videos.
Hey Kai Great Video!!
Curious What glasses are they? Super nice!!!!!
1:42 "Oh fuck yeah spread it"
I’m so happy I found your channel! So cool video!!
Your videos are awesome, Kai.
So much "in your end o" ;) Love it. Brilliant Video :)
Great sense of humor! really enjoyed viewing!
I honestly thought you were holding a shotgun for the thumbnail... Stay safe!
3:23 I hate when that happens 💨 😂
I love my tripod but at the most time i film handheld 😂 🎬 best cinematic greetings from 🇩🇪

Here comes the Peak Design Tripod CZcams spam!
I am suitably impressed by the number of three legged innuendos you squeezed into this video :) All good information though

The only person I will ever watch a tripod video from
My god.. missed this guy.. haha
Enjoyed the tips and the humor.
Damn that is one pretty tripod.
bwahahahha!! I got a tent I got a tent! 🤣 I've been wanting the peak design tripod, so compact!
We need to see a watch collection video. We all know you are packing absolute heat
Austen Charron He is Chinese, so it could be a really nice replica 😜
Daaaamn Kai.. lookin' smooth
You. Are. Hilarious!!! And this is a great video I learned a lot, thanks so much :)
I don’t take pictures but was totally entertained so you get a 👍

Good sharing idea 😂👍
Thanks 😊😊😄
Your accent is tripping me out!!! I instantly subscribed!
what an entertaining & kinky one... hahaha... thumbs up for the creativity!
Snap or twist lock preferred?
Pretty damn entertaining. And that is a nice green jacket!
Lok's mad at your right now. Talk about showing someone up. XD

Andrea Acailawen The column can be inverted. You have to take the bottom hook off, pull the centre column off completely and then invert it.
Damn...didn't know this many innuendos could come from a video about a man with three legs...
I'm sure Kai has the special sensor cleaning kit from Hong Kong ebay shops.
2:40 lmao that’s the reason I like yr content .two thumbs up from Chengdu China.
Thanks man
The tent is cool
Kai, you look like you should be driving a Lagonda.
Unironically.
Stoked about the Climate Change part, too!
I wanted an innuendo. You gave me one.
