Let us know what you think of this tripod system. Which one do you currently use the most?
Currently using a Manfrotto Nitrotech 12 with its stock aluminum legs. Just ordered these legs and quick release 75mm bowl to replace them and put my Nitrotech onto!
My only slight annoyance is that these legs are longer than 28” (29.5” apparently) when I believe the Flowtecs aren’t. It means they won’t quick fit in my Nanuk travel grip case…you just can’t go wrong with that price though on slow season with the strikes when I thought I would have to hold off a lot longer for a Flowtec.
Thanks for doing this quick review!
@CineD I know I want these legs, but how does this fluid head compare to Manfrotto’s MVH502A fluid head? I could save $200 going that route, but I’m pretty much clueless on the matter 😅
Geez CineD your answer to what you hate about the tripod feels really anticlimactic -_-
I knew that as soon as he said the latches take quite a bit of force to release.
I will own this system. Even though I have others that mostly serve my live music needs.
This can serve needs I need other than tall and stationary.
Great review and info.
Thanks
I'm guessing Sachtler sued this tripod out of existence. It's not available for sale anywhere, and Sirui appears to be launching a new version where the locks are collars instead of levers. Still a single lock near the top, but no longer a quick lever like the Sachtler.
How do you think this compares to the YC Onion Pineta tripod?
this is superior... the spreader option totally makes this a buy over the YC in addition to the leg spike/rubber feet design. YC looks better though. lol
@@TheDailyDriver been curious about this comparison with the YC Onion as well. The YC onion is 2 lbs lighter, can rise a little higher (61 in vs 60 in) and can also go lower (6in vs 8in) from the ground. I have seen other reviews say the spreader is not worth buying. Anyone else that can chime in on the comparison between these 2 tripods, please do
The big question is durability. Our experience with Sirui tripods 10 years ago...all have died terrible deaths because of the leg construction. But we still have a couple of monopods from a few years ago which are ok. One never knows until these tripods are rigorously tested...the design looks fine but hard to tell. You get what you pay for, and nowadays sub-$1000 tripods generally won't last that long with heavy use, in our experience.
I’m using mine now. The only down side is the weight. There’s no way I’m hiking for a mile with these. For more immediate distances or in studio/set they are great. I use mine with a Sachtler Ace XL.
This not a bad Tripod system i currently use E-Image it's a smiler quick release they call it a mono lock system and its really smooth what i like most about the one i have is the height range it's around 70 inches at the max hight i am 5 ft 10 and the tripod is taller than me which is great in my line of work for News and Religious Pgms
now we really need a video on how to adjust latchs. my tripos wont extended the smaller section of the lefs. mine are really tight.
I don't mind stiffer latches. The Flowtech are so loose that I often bump them when lifting the tripod by a leg.
I would like to see Flowtech adopt aluminum levers. I’ve had two levers break over the four years I’ve had mine. Cheap to repair but still a design flaw.
What is about the Smallrig Free Blazer? It's even cheaper with a medicore fluid head 400€
I would honestly go for this thing as opposed to the flowtechs that break the bank, oh God.
Sirui think about indie filmmakers, I can live with the one weight issue.
Thanks for the detailed review.
You may want to think twice. There are quite a few bad reviews. Flowtech is the best. Light and smooth operation. Unlike cam bodies. tripod you only pay once and it will cover your whole career if you take care of it.
@@shem44 Right! well we will have to wait for version 2 of it I guess. I would rent the flowtech for now atleast.
Please don't do that click-bait crap again. I watched the whole video to find out what you didn't like!
I have the SVM monopod and its a delight to use one ring to change heights. I just wish it was a few inches lower. Scenario: chasing a butterfly from one ground flower to a tall bush.
The biggest thorn in my side has always been 3 stage tripods. Talk about ruining any chance of getting the stable shot you want then having to opt for handheld because your tripod set up is so slow. I can’t count how many shoots I’ve decided to just not use my tripod because of this. Good to see some more affordable high quality alternatives to the flowtech.
Thanks for the Punchline!
If only you can buy it. It was taken out of the Sirui site
Glad to hear you all enjoy this system!
What are your thoughts of this compared to the YC Onion?
Hard to say for me because I haven't used or reviewed the YC Onion Pineta yet, but it feels like it's a similar concept, just a little lighter. Nino
Wasn´t there a Video about the YC Onion on your Channel Few Days ago?@@CineD
Uppppp❤❤❤
I have Sirui tripods and generally they’re pretty good. But this is too heavy with latches too stiff. Dangerously stiff. In a studio maybe ok but to move about from location to location, just no.
Keine Ahnung, ob die Dinger wirklich was taugen aber ich finde es gut, dass ihr auch mal günstige Technik testet. Sachtler kann ja jeder 🤭
Don't mind getting just the tripod. This definitely a more affordable range for filmmakers starting out.
Sold mine. Latches too stiff. Feet always get dislodged. Nothing “rapid” about this. Also too much flex in the legs, midlevel spreader is a PIA (works better without it) and the tripod is way too heavy. My I footage Gazelle at half the weight is more rigid. My E Image legs with one latch adjustment are much faster to work with. Don’t know what I was thinking.
I'm kinda nit picking here but the baby blue is a poor choice of colour for the accents.
lol
thumbs down for the what you hate about it at the end
Oh no, he had a little fun… that’s terrible, have to punish him for that
-40/+60 this tells us it is supposed to be used outdoors. But it has no proper spikes for this 😀. Tripod foots are like tires for the car.
For me personally this tripod is useless.
You need bigger spikes then the ones shown?
@@paul.grohmann sure. I had bigger then these in my previous tripod, but they were "retractable", so had collars. These collars prevented legs to dig through fallen leaves or dense grass and I filmed wobbly video few times - the whole tripod with camera had small movements on the wind. So for any outdoor only 3/8 tread screw-in naked spikes works. I made a video on my channel explaining this, if interested.
Stay away from Sirui. Absolutely worthless service and support when something goes wrong (and it will).
I got myself instead Manfrotto 645 Fast Twin leg alu tripod legs and the Manfrotto 612 head. Much better build, support and quality.
Same! got it on a deal from B&H
@@muhammaduzairazhar Got my legs as soon as they released it like 3 years ago. As for the head found one like new on ebay for 150 dollars.
Can't speak to Sirui as I haven't owned any of their gear, but good luck with the Manfrotto... Because the amount of pieces that have broken on Manfrotto gear has me sworn off their stuff for good.
@@igorkas three years with the head and legs from Manfrotto now, zero issues.
