I think the deal breaker for a lot of photographers will be that the head does not accept Arca-Swiss plates and brackets. The Peak Design style plate is fine for small cameras but is not as robust as an A-S bracket or plate designed for the specific camera body or lens. The plate for this tripod can twist where it attaches to the camera. And so many photographers already have L-brackets and dedicated plates and this tripod will make them useless. The Ulanzi F-38 QD head is the same way. The Ulanzi Zero Y tripod accepts A-S plates and brackets AND the Peak Design style plates. Not sure why they all aren't that way. I do not have any of these tripods yet. The cost of the Peak Design tripod (which will accept A-S plates) is ridiculous. Reviews of the Ulanzi Zero Y indicate that the knob that clamps the plate to the head comes loose easily risking the camera falling off. I still haven't found the right combo of design, price, flexibility and quality.
I saw another video of this tripod and it appeared that you could flip the ball head into the vertical position and then loosen a set screw on the side of the ball head with the attached tool and then when you flip the ball head back to horizontal it will pan. According to the manufacturer it is advertised as having a 360 degree pan function.
I have been comparing this tripod with the Ulanzi Zero F38. That head is compatible with peak design plates, but works with longer arca swiss plates as well
@@Ken-Hung I like everything about the F38 except that I prefer having the plate actually lock in rather than tightening it with a thumb screw. I use Peak Design plates and Peak Design Slide Straps on all my cameras so it should work well.
Exactly the route I just went. I liked a small rig head but it only came on a heavy duty tripod. Paired it up with a manfrotto 290 Xtra and 3.4 pounds instead of like 10 lbs
I lucked out on a mistake clearance at Best Buy and got the Carbon Peak Design a year ago for less than the aluminum version. The Best Buy Rep told me about it while I was searching for a tripod at the time. I love it for what i paid.
I thought this would have been the perfect light weight tripod for panos. The ball head can act as a levelling base, but it’s lacking the panning option unfortunately.
I don’t shoot weddings anymore. I shoot live theatre, concerts, and dance shows. I used to use a couple of heavy Manfrotto pro tripods, but so many of the theatres and venues I have to shoot in can’t accommodate the large tripods. I use one Manfrotto 502 like the one you showed here and a couple of static tripods. One is a carbon fiber Gitzo and the other is a heavy aluminum Benro. After this review, I am temped to replace the Benro with the Neewer. I often have to put tripods in the actual seating areas of theatres.
Looks great. I've got a similar one, a knock off version. Only paid about $50 and it's pretty much the exact same except it has a twisty screw for the ball head and it's black and orange. It does have a hook at the bottom so I do strab my backpack to it so it keeps is stable in case anyone nudges the tripod. Great video though, keep it up
Great vid. I wish with all these style tripods they went a bit taller. Just to get over peoples heads a little when people stand up in a church for example. Another 2/3 inches would do it.
Just to add about the missing pan function - this creates another problem. If you set your ball head to portrait mode this means you are stuck at single straight position and will not be able to tilt your camera up or down. I just took this tripod on a hiking trip and lack of this pan function really limited my workflow when shooting something in portrait mode. I was really disappointed.
I have a paparazzi style photo booth that uses a live portrait photographer instead of a lollypop to deliver branded photos strips within 30 seconds of the last 📸 picture taken... your little stack of tripods with 2 backpacks amuses me! I basically bring out an entire office worth of gear for a 4 hour shoot. (I'm not moching you, but jealous none the less!)
Check out the Coman Light H when you get a chance - the Neewer is an exact dupe of the Coman Light G, with those same struggles (like the lack of pan head function). The Light /H/ however, has a dedicated fluid head with really smooth pan and tilt functionality and the same quick-release style (which works with pretty much any arca swiss plate, including even 200mm ones for balancing larger rigs), and a built-in ballhead underneath for getting your video head level without having to futz with individual leg lengths. Plus it comes with a swappable head with a standard screw mount, so you can attach any other head that you'd like if you don't feel like lugging around the heavier / taller fluid head. Oh, and the weight hook screws into the center column with a standard screw thread, so you can even mount their specialized fluid head on a separate monopod if you wanted to.
Which is a copy and paste of the Peak Design tripod 😄 They’re all essentially the same thing, just with different price points and slightly different feature sets.
@@JoshBirman The Ulanzi might look the same from afar to the Peak Design, but in closer inspection, it is a much different (and better) designed tripod. You can also argue that most tripods are essentially the same thing.
I got a Ulanzi Video Travel Tripod a couple months ago. I'm quite happy with it. It's super small and has a fluid head. Also, I didn't know you were are "nevernude" Respect 👊🏼🤣
price performance alone this is better, but I really don't admire it's almost a slightly modded, 90% copy peak design concept, it's undermining the creativity... and for PD they have crazy CS and repairability, not sure if these will offer similar degree of repairability or free replacement when some of these new designs goes flimsy and breaks
I just bought this.. they make a panning plate that clicks in for just a little more, which I added during purchase. I’m sure you can buy it separately
@@JoshBirman It is the peak design style plate on the bottom but it has a round plate attached with a twist screw that lets you pan a full 360. Look on their website and click on option LT32 + Leveling Base. You will see it at the top right on the last product photo
This is a really good video. I'm tossing up between the TP62 or the LT35 (with the TP62 in this video running a bit cheaper). The LT35 looks like it's more of a PD copy with the trapezoid-style legs, and maybe slightly more sturdy with a better ballhead.
@@JoshBirman I decided to order the TP62 as in your video. It's a fair bit shorter as the ballhead looks to be more integrated into the stem - we'll see what it's like!
Seems like a great one! Sadly, priced the same as Ulanzi's TT09 which is overall better especially with the Falcam F38 QR and the mini fluid head for video.
Someone also rated this one high Fotopro Carbon Fiber Tripod 60 Inch 360 Degree Ball Head Quick Release Plate Lightweight Camera Tripod for Travel Tripod Folded Height Only 14.2" - Can you compare these 2?
I was hopeful you found something better than my Ulanzi. After hearing about your issues with the ball-head and having a round column, I’m confident to say the Ulanzi is the better than the two. My only complaint on the Ulanzi is the angle of the legs are just a few degrees too steep (on the first notch). I’d like the legs to go a touch wider. Interesting to see Neweer copying Ulanzi who copied Peak.
@@JoshBirmanmy one complaint aside, I’m pretty happy with my Ulanzi. I’m primarily a photographer, and I’ve never liked ballheads, so I may replace it with the Ulanzi video head, or a panorama head. At the end of the day though, all three are pretty incredible tools to have in the toolbox. I couldn’t have imagined a tripod this small and light 30 years ago.
Lack of Arca-Swiss compatibility is a deal breaker for me. TBH, I was never really impressed with the Peak Design tripod to begin with. Currently looking for a decent travel tripod, but unfortunately this one won't do it for me.
Falcam f38 pro. Cheaper and better than the PD. Only thing the PD has over it is it's slightly smaller and lighter. But the Falcam is better in every other way. Works with almost any arca-swiss plate, the PD plates, and obviously the f38 plates. 😂
@@OldishGoalie I went with the Ulanzi Zero Y...fully Arca-Swiss right out of the box. Needed something lightweight for times when travel isn't photography-specific.
So basically for your video production setup you'll be carrying 3 of these newer tripods! Three pouches therefore a seperate bag (albeit a smaller one than before) and still have air travel problems.
That’s the plan! 3 of this style of tripod. The goal would be to fit all of my camera gear for a wedding into 1, maybe 2 backpacks and a single checked bag.
These style of tripods are definitely nowhere near as secure and sturdy as a large Manfrotto tripod. But you get so much portability in exchange. I haven’t used it yet, but the new Ulanzi TreeRoot looks like it could be the best tripod in this style.
Looks like the Traveler 7C is a more classic travel tripod design. It doesn’t breakdown nearly as small and it’s got twist locks on the legs which I do not like. I’m sure it’s a fine tripod, but it’s not one I would go after.
@@Levi-Salmon You made the right choice. I use the SIRUI 7C, but the twist lock on the legs is terrible and a huge setback when filming a wedding. It's confusing and sometimes you mistakenly unscrew the whole leg. I thought it's a minimal design flaw I could live with but I've missed some important moments because of those little details. I should probably get the Neewer too.
@@MidihaSoshia Luckily it's not too painful of a mistake to correct! Could probably get $50+ For the SIRUI on marketplace. Side not I took the Neewer in my carryon overseas and it was fantastic.
The plain weave carbon fibre is terrible for strength. It makes no sense. That's why the gitzos and other premi8carbon tripods use braided or unidirectional carbon.
Honestly thought it would be a good option to save money with this but the package has been lost and Neewers customer support is next to non existent.. been almost a month still no replacement or refund. Email correspondence only which takes days for them to respond only to ask me to email them again after 2-3 business days every time. Best to save the headache and go with a more reputable brand instead.
I have the LT-32 as well. Do you have a black rubber ring at the bottom of your center column where the hook is? Mine was already broken when I unboxed the tripod. :( Do you know the purpose of that rubber ring? I'm not sure if I should ask for a replacement or just ignore it. Thanks for sharing.
i just bought it from amazon, is this middle part that you can screw or unscrew to change the ballhead also moving in your tripod? im worried that this would be a thing that breake first
who does a photographer gotta blow to get one of these companies to make a travel tripod with two points of contact on the base plate for my camera rig? Having only one it will eventually start spinning on the single contact screw.
I think it’s probably more so a limitation of the tripod size. In order to fit 2 screws into the plate they’d have to make the head quite a bit larger. It’s not ideal but you could always swap out the head for something that uses a plate you like.
Yeah, it's great if you only need locked off shots while using tiny cameras. If you want a proper fluid head and you use a proper cinema camera, there's no cutting corners.
Must be a moron that spells" moron.".. Moran. Also the proper spelling of your sound design is clink* clank* clong*.... coincidentally it is what it sounds like when you shake your head.
It looks cheap and flimsy as heck. Honestly it looks more like garbage. Your Manfrotto isn't heavy and bulky by any means, I'll pick that anytime and trust my gear on it. Never cheap out on tripod, you only need one until you retire. Here is an advice for people that are considering this garbage tripod, RENT.

The head adaptor seems like a good addition to the whole package, but I still think that all these tripods are way overpriced for what they are.

Oh and it's even cheaper (somehow) - it's currently listed for $179 on Amazon, and it occasionally goes on further sale (I picked it up for $129)
Just a setscrew to lock the top half of bulkhead seems dangerous. If it loosen over time, there goes the camera.
ughhhh as a hybrid photographer this is why id choose photo over video hahah great video
Hahaha! 😂
Hi! This vs the Ulanzif f38 Coman please? 😁🙏
Definately would go for the Freewell "Real travel tripod". 870 gr incl Video head.

You should take a look on Heipi w28 Travel tripod
The Rollei yeasy Traveller is it for me. The Ballhead of the Rollei is just better. My 2 cents. Yo
try out the ulanzi x coman zero tripod
I own one for about 8 months now and I love it, but I changed ballhead to manfrotto to be more stable and more precise for macro shots :)
