Thank you for the great review. I bought the AM-284 and took out for a shoot a few days ago. I am using it with a Acratech Ultimate ballhead and the combo is beyond fantastic. I have another travel tripod but I do not trust hanging my bag from it to make it more sturdy. The AM-284 can handle my camera/lens combo and my 10lb. bag easily. I love the quick locking system of the legs. This is a winner. I just hope it holds up long term. BTW, I got the extended column too which is a cool feature but did not use it on the shoot. I am short enough not to need the extension but it is there just in case I need it!
@@cris_photography Yep it would be great to know as I'm undecided between these two - keep up the great work I've been following your channel for a while!
Thanks a lot much appreciated! I can tell u I use that tripod WAY more than my PeakDesign CF one for example. If u take it, make sure u also take the central column (of u need it of course). Cheers and all the best for your trip in May
Thanks for the review. How is the sturdiness compared to Peak Design Carbon tripod? I was thinking of getting the AM-284 but I also have the Peak Design. Will this be better as a small Astro rig?
I find them both great. This one is a tad sturdier imo tho but also fatter. The payload of this tripod is amazing so if you have heavy gear this ones better. I normally only use my peak design one for my shoots curenty so you should be set. Take care

Thats awesome! Thanks for your message Boris
Thanks for making this review video.
You’re most welcome
Great presentation.
Can anyone shed some light on how this compares to the Sirui ST 124? Trying to decide on a travel tripod before our trip in May

Good question Alex! Am also curious if anyone has tested both 👍🏼
