    I upgraded all my heads to Sachtler from Manfrotto, best decision ever. In addition to the points in this video, Sachtler goes where you point it without kickback if it is dialed in correctly. So even with the smallest cameras, it looks like it was taken with a large setup because of the precise small movements. If you are an event streamer, there's nothing like having an easy and quick setup and breakdown. I also use Sachtler heads with Gitzo tripod legs. I use the 75mm bowl adapter.

      I was looking for alternatives and found "neewer" on amazon for $158. It has the same quick height adjustment, but it's made of aluminum instead of carbon fiber. Its max load is also smaller at 22lb/10kg. As a total amateur, I think I'll start here and forget "investments" lol. Hopefully some Chinese company can produce a "knockoff" exceeding flowtech's own specifications. And hopefully that can happen well before I need to upgrade at all. Maybe then "free world" companies will stop charging exhorbitant fees for their "creativity" that was mostly spent on creative propaganda to justify their prices.

    And they cost three of your children, their college funds, and a half pint of your blood. Not very affordable (@ $3,600) for really anyone unless you are making the big bucks. I really wish someone would make a knock-off that was more affordable. I love the tripod, it's just outrageously priced. A Manfroto for less would suffice.

      A good tripod is often overlooked because of it's price but it's such a valuable piece of gear that can drastically change your workflow and your health too. Not to mention your putting your camera, lens, gear that cost thousands of dollars you want something strong, sturdy and reliable. It's definitely one of the best investments one can make.

    How are these tripod legs in sand? I heard a guy who got sand in one of the legs and it got stuck. Is there a warranty/seal for those kind of things or how does it work?

    Used this exact set of sticks for the past 10 months. Been loving them. Quick question which quick release system are you using for your tripod? We have the version with the touch and go plate and I’m not a big fan because I have to unscrew the plate to go from sticks to gimbal which makes the speed of the system kind of pointless

    I like the speedlock 75's more than this bulky thing. Probably this is more durable and has ability to get low, but quick snapping each leg is not a new thing. Speedlocks are also 1.5 kg lighter making them better for travel.
    Also I prefer the build quality of the older FSB heads than the Aktiv. Aktivs have more plastic parts to them that can fail, especially the latch.

    Sachtler went all out to make sure people know it's back in stock, seen the Flowtech 75 legs a lot the past week. I ended with the ACE XL regular legs and tbh if you don't have the extra money, their other products are fantastic as well. BTW the Syrp system is great, look for it on sale though. Sad thing is Syrp cheaped out on some crucial fastening clips that have broken in less than a year.

  • @Superbustr
    @Superbustr 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The biggest advantage of this tripod is that in a sense it saves you from having to buy a high hat. With most other tripods you can't get low enough to the ground & hence have to buy a separate high hat in addition to a tripod, whereas with this, for most use cases, it would get you sufficiently low enough.

The Monogram has BIG buttons where the CT feels more integrated with the keyboard. Like I said both are great just depends what you prefer more.

      You know if being a PRO requires buying $3K tripods, bush or not…..then you’re right, I ain’t and glad I’m not because that’s is as dumb as it gets.
      No one I work with, and they’re old school pros, have or own a $3K tripod…..they have rigged $500 video tripods and they make it work every time.
      Go ahead and get yourself a $3K tripod
      For Christmas dude, you’ve been a good dude this year.

      @@John-e4p1x yeah man that’s me and my first daughter, got two and trust me, I still buy the good stuff, I’m yet to own a manfrotto tripod……I helped a group of video pros from time to time with whatever project they have, I’m more photo than video but I like learning…..these guys aren’t young man, they’re in their 50s and I’m not sure what brand their tripods are but I know they’re rugged video tripods and one of them told me they were $500 and that’s about the only cheap thing they have, they’re rocking RED, some Canon Cinema ones and all the bells and wissles for video production…..I never seen them struggle with them tripods, they make it work……now I’m with you in the sense that when it comes to tripods, you do get what you pay for…..but $3K is a bit too much for something that shouldn’t be a struggle, that’s all I’m saying.

    Did you buy this or did they give it to you? Telling us to stop buying cheap sht when you’re being gifted a 3k tripod is bs. I usually trust your word on gear but cmon dude. Great video I’d have hit purchase if this was remotely affordable. Seeing that quick release design just set everyone with day job money up for heartbreak when we get to the price 😂

      The worse part is that it is not compatible with anything else like standard bowl mounts. Can't use it on a Dana Dolly or other tripods. You are limited to buying even more expensive gear from the same manufacturer. There is a reason why things are standardized. This is just stupid.
