Buy The Smallrig Freeblazer Tripod On Amazon: geni.us/tvet4WD
The smallrig freeblazer tripod is an incredibly priced video tripod from smallrig. The Freeblazer tripod from smallrig offers a lot of value to filmmakers and content creators but is the smallrig freeblazer tripod isn't just a blanket great value. While the smallrig freeblazer tripod legs are great the smallrig tripod head isn't a professional tripod head nor is it close to being a professional tripod head. Thats why for thoselooking to get a tripod i'd suggest getting the smallrig free blazer tripod legs only and getting a different higher quality tripod head.

Just a note, there is drag resistance adjustability on the pan on the SmallRig head, just not the tilt. I would agree though that I will probably just buy the sticks and use my Komodo head until I can save for something nicer.
Just double checked you're right, still I'm saving up for a 506x or similar
Here is my review if the ph8 professional head th-cam.com/video/qJSFQLt87Q4/w-d-xo.html
The ph8 has pan and tilt drag and has counter balance
awesome review! weird one, but is it possible to just extend one leg on this so it's effectively like a monopod or does the mid-spreader prvent that? thank you!
Unfortunately not
Here is an update with the tripod head
Thanks for the review. Do you find this tripod goes low enough for sit down interviews? Cheers
Yes it does
But not low enough! Also here is an update on the heads th-cam.com/video/qJSFQLt87Q4/w-d-xo.html
Great video, thank you for your wonderful intell.
No problem. Hope it helped

nice video.
would you recommend the Manfrotto 502 head as well?
This is the head I'm using now th-cam.com/video/qJSFQLt87Q4/w-d-xo.html
I agree on the sticks over the head! I may go the same route and stick with my which is currently sitting on 536 legs
Great choice
Here's is the update including the head. Hope it helps th-cam.com/video/qJSFQLt87Q4/w-d-xo.html
hey, love the video! can you please recommend a good tripod head which check most boxes but is still not to expensive or atleast worth the price
Cheapest you can find is 500
@@MitchellMillennial which one would that be? Thanks!
@@anshjain7396 Manfrotto 500.

What’s the advantage of the carbon fibre model vs aluminium - the latter is slightly lighter weight
Carbon is stiffer
Great review
Thanks
Here is the review of the head. Hope it's helpful th-cam.com/video/qJSFQLt87Q4/w-d-xo.html
I took your advice. I bought a better fluid head with drag resistance. I will buy the legs next month
Excellent! I have my review on the new smallrig PH8 coming in a day or two
@@MitchellMillennial what is that? Neewer has a fluid head named m006. There is no info on it in TH-cam, but you can adjust both drags. I am going to give it a try. I have a Fx30 rigged out setup, so I don’t need much more. Will let you know.
@@nyambe it's the new pro fluid head from smallrig bro
I own this tripod with it's head, it was on sale and I got them both for 325 usd + 5 usd for express delivery, instead of 399 the msrp. The video head on it has a nice panning damping but tilting isn't as good. But it's not too bad either. I have a sigma 150-600 contemporary lens with some lens coat on it and a canon Eos T7 body and also a shotgun mic mounted on top of the camera body all mounted on top of the head and if I set the locking switch for tilting at around 50-60 degrees clockwise, it becomes pretty solid and easy to tilt and it remains in the position no matter how angled it is. I know there are a lot heavier lenses than the sigma one I have but it's 2 kilos + the camera body + the mic, which goes to around 3.5 kilos including the extra accessories like lens coat etc. It's not exactly super heavy but not far lighter than most video or wildlife photography setups. It does the job way better than those cheap arca swiss compatible gimbal heads, or way more expensive alternatives. And on the plus side, this tripod is far more sturdier than similarly priced other tripods from K&F Concept or similar brands. Also there's an aluminium version of the pod with a similar fluid video head, probably without adjustable damping for panning. And it costs around $160, it's also a really good option and I think it'd probably perform about the same for my setup but I impulsively decided to purchase the carbon fiber one when it was on a discount and I even got it delivered in the same day. It's pretty much a bargain and I am absolutely happy about it.
I think it's a good value

Does it fit a manfrotto mvh500ah fluid head?
Yeah
Bought the Small Rig legs. Using with my Sachtler Ace head.
Nice combo
That’s what I’m going to do
Thanks Mitchell.
I'm working on bringing more of these style videos to my other channel
If you are saving money in one of the best "for the money" tripods, it makes no sense to spend much more a head. The head that comes with the AD-80 is a must for the price.
It's likely your head will outlive the legs
@@MitchellMillennial I bought the kit and it looks like solid rock to me for my Lumix S5IIx
Yeah my tilt knob broke, got stripped. Cannot lock all the way
On your tripod head?
@@MitchellMillennial yeah
@@ContraflowPictures that's why I bought this tripod head bro th-cam.com/video/qJSFQLt87Q4/w-d-xo.html
@@MitchellMillennial well, the weight of my camera was more than max payload, so that was the main reason. I bet that one's good, but my rig is around 30 lbs, so I ended up going for the new Mk II Sir rapid tripod kit. The small rig legs are good for its height, so I'll prob throw the sirui head on there if I need that 7ft elevation. But yea there's kind of a general price jump from 15 to 25 lb setup
Just noticed they have a new head. PH8 is the model
I've been thinking about it too be honest
@@MitchellMillennial I think it addresses a few issues I have.
Thanks for the review. Came for the advice about using a different head. One thing, you are too close to the camera for that much hand movement. I was dodging your punches for six minutes. Dizzying.
I'll move the camera back. I'm going to be doing a whole series about the gear I have in my studio so I hope you enjoy it
