This tripod looks ideally priced between the Walmart "forgot my tripod" specials and the Really Right Stuff hardware priced for the Department of Defense.

Looks pretty well built for the money, I’m still rocking my 20 year old Bogen heavy yeah! I can use it in a pinch to jack the car up to change a tire! Thanks

In for the drawing, love the unsponsored reviews. You tell it like it is, and that's great!

Thanks, Nick. I admire your honesty with your product reviews, not too many of them out there. I am currently using a Vanguard travel tripod and like everyone would love to upgrade. On another note, your podcasts are excellent, just perfect for those times when you are travelling, keep them coming.

I would love it. Currently carting around a vintage Bogen Manfrotto that weighs more than Gavin Hardcastle!

I’ve been looking at these as an affordable and hopefully solid tripod because it is an American company. Thanks for the review.

I love how you don't beat around the bush. Straight, to the point review. Just what we need. Having said that, I love this tripod. It looks really sleek and since I hike around my state a lot, it would be the perfect addition to my gear. I don't have a tripod yet and this would be perfect. My dad and I go hiking together but we almost never have photos together because one of us always has to handle the camera. This would solve that issue and we would finally have photos of us together at the all the beautiful places we go to. ❤️

Perfectly done review. Thanks, Nick. I love that it's straight to the point. Very helpful. Cheers!

I have a Sirui Tripod that is travel sized for Airplane trips

I'd like to win the tripod. My manfrotto is much heavier.

Thanks Nick for continuing to provide us with more informational videos during this pandemic. It means a lot. I currently have a fairly bulky platinum plus by sunpak but would love to have something for hiking.

Very thorough review Nick. Always helpful to get honest feedback on both pros and cons.

300$ for a tripod ain't called affordable.

Love your reviews Nick....honest, straightforward, and technical! Great timing too as I'm looking a new tripod and ball head besides my current Induro and BH-55 combination!

Loved the review, Really like your vlogs learn a lot. I've been following since the Improve Photography days.

Thank you for the video Nick! I've been on the search for a new tripod as of late.

Great review Nick. I'm glad to see a review for a reasonably priced and well built tripod. Hope it goes to a needy subscriber

Your real world reviews are always in depth and on the fact's

I have an Al tripod from Coman from 8 years ago. Upgraded the the tripod plate to take arca swiss plates now. Thank you for the great contents.

Thanks for the review, I looked at this company about 2 years ago but opted for a Benro instead. I like it very much but at almost 4lbs sometimes I have to think twice about taking it w/ me or not. Really enjoy your videos and the quality on the latest videos is definitely a lot better production value. Keep it up Nick.

Sup Nick! been watching you for a while now and have learned quite a bit an have also received a lot of inspiration from your videos. I live in Colorado and go on 5-7 day overnight backpacking trips once a year and have never taken a tripod for many reasons but weight is definitely one of them. My current tripod situation is that I don't have one mainly because of the expense involved. Children are expensive. I have looked into the Colorado Tripod Company, they are in Denver, but they seem to be running behind of the production so I couldn't even get one the last time I looked.In watching you and your other KZfaq buds, I've learned a lot about focus and exposure stacking, long exposure and night photography. Thus far, I've been unable to pull these techniques off simply because a tripod is required.... did I mention that I don't have a tripod. HA! Seriously Nick, Love the show, love your presentation, your honesty and your photography. Cheers man and keep shooting! you can check out my insta for some shots if you'd like. @brianbuccaofficial

Love the review Nick. I'm keen as for a new travel tripod. My current one is heavy and cumbersome, but this option loos amazing! Thanks for the review legend.

Just moved to Colorado, and this tripod would definitely help me step up my game. Thanks for the video. Great, as always!

Yet another great, informative and unbiased review! I’m using a MeFoto aluminum tripod and am in major need of an upgrade...especially the ball head!

Thanks Nick for all your beautifully made content. You've taught me a lot since I became a serious amateur photographer but more importantly you inspire me to be self made! I've been using a Neewer 67" tripod off amazon for a couple of years. The Neewer has served its purpose but it displays all the problems you've mentioned in past videos about cheap tripods. I live with the problems, but it would be nice to upgrade. Keep up the great content sir!

I've just found your videos on KZfaq and subscribed immediately... just one video was enough for me, seeing how you can tell stories even without saying a word, like in your "Stormlight - Landscape photography during a lightning storm". It helped a lot you advised "Better with Headphones" 'cause it really is, I felt like by your side getting good pictures on the rain. Thanks for your inspirational videos. I am practically starting in this world, probably four or five years already but I am still learning. By the way, I have my old Manfroto tripod still doing his job but, this one your talking about seems to be very usefull, as well as the ballhead. Wish I could win it and use it down here at Miami. Once again, Thanks for sharing such a good material.

Just this last Saturday, my girlfriend and I went on a hike to a cave here in Utah. We took took some photos, and I popped the question right there in the cave (she said yes!). In all the excitement I grabbed up all of my gear and we hiked out of there and back home. When I unloaded my gear I realized my Sirui was missing two sections of one tripod leg... I thought, well, if I can't get this replaced I'll might buy one of those Colorado Tripod Co. Then BAM! Your video pops up on my sub list. It's a sign from the gear gods Nick. It's your destiny to give me free stuff. Don't deny your destiny.

I've never even heard of Colorado Tripod until Breakthrough Photography sent me their catalog. From your review, i think i will get this tripod since it does what i need. Thank you.

Nice review Nick! Keep up the good work!

Nice, first time I saw you and this looks great. Loved the no bull facts about the tripod.

Another honest review. I’m in need of reviews such as this since I’m usually on a budget of sorts. 😳. I’ve been looking for a more affordable tripod and winning this one would be that much nicer, especially coming from Nick Page!

Hey Nick, loved the video! After almost 7 years, my old and heavy Manfrotto 055 is falling apart, from the pesky center column not tightening to a leg not ratcheting into place and flopping down all the time, you could say my tripod is on its last leg 😉 I would love the chance to finally have a lighter, more robust tripod like this! Keep up the great work man!

Thanks for the review! I’ve had my eye on Colorado tripods for a while now. Currently rocking a manfrotto befree. This would be a great light weight replacement!

Just what I’m looking for. Thanks for the great review.

Hey Nick. Great video as always. I would love to upgrade from my old Slik tripod to this tripod. Keep up the great work you are doing.

Thanks for this video, Nick! This is a great lightweight tripod, ideal for the long hike when I don't want to carry a heavy load. I'm currently using an old, quite heavy Vanguard tripod with a ball head. The lever lock system is so rusted that I have to waste too much strength to extend the legs for each shoot. It's definitely due for replacement! I would love to use this Colorado tripod!

Hi Nick - thanks for your honest review and great content! I’m still rocking my Manfrotto BeFree and look forward to having a more substantial tripod someday.

Great review Nick. Super helpful

Thanks for the video. I am so new to photography that I do not have a tripod. Just recently found you page. Loving your information so far. Thanks

Lord Page, as always a complete and insightful review.

Nice job on the video. My tripod is a cheap Zomie I got a couple years ago....just got my new Z6ii so really excited about it.... and so now I'm looking to upgrade my tripod....thanks for the video!

Old Bogen from the 90s. So need this tripod! Thanks for the review

Wow, I've never even heard of Colorado Tripod. That thing looks great! Thanks for the review.

Great honest review Nick! This tripod seems like it would be great for backpacking/long distance hiking/other activities where weight is a crucial factor. I’m currently using an Induro Stealth CLT103 matched with an Induro BHD 1 ball head for all of my photography needs.

First of all, thanks for all the videos you upload, I'm a big fan. I love the look of this tripod and from how you describe it's lightweight frame sounds perfect for my long hikes into the mountains. Current tripod is an old polaroid that came with my camera. Replacing it is not in my budget right now so to win would be fantastic.

My current tripod has lots of loose rubber casings, and for my grandma hands...that is a pain! Thank you for the great review, Nick. 🙂

I was just looking at this tripod yesterday. I currently have the 3 legged things punk Corey. Thanks for the review Nick!

I would really love and benefit from this tripod! Since I'm still a student, I don't have money to afford a tripod, and I was using a really cheap $20 one from my parents until it broke 3 times in the winter from the cold and after many attempts of gorilla gluing it back together. Great vid! I love your little side comment things from another angle!

Great review! I'd love it! Currently I'm using a very inexpensive K&F concept tripod and would love the upgrade!!

This would be a perfect tripod for the shooting I do. Most of my shooting is on longer hikes here in Central Oregon and I am currently carrying a hand me down (not complaining, very grateful to my friend for passing it on to me) Vanguard Alta tripod which is super heavy, cumbersome, and has an issue with one of the leg locks slipping sometimes. Thanks for the reviews, tutorials and inspiration Nick.

I love this tripod. I currently own k&f tripod been using for almost 3 yrs. This gonna be a good upgrade.

I’ve been using a Benro adventure tripod with a non removable center column and I agree with you: it’s an unnecessary item, and most often than not comes quite in between the process of setting for a close to the ground composition. And for this I’ve been thinking of replacing it. Nice video, Nick! Cheers

This is crazy, I was watching your videos today, like all of the Oregon Coast ones. Because I'll be going to Oregon next week and was looking at my cheap meFoto tripod and saying to myself "I need a better tripod" and this video came up haha I dont know if its a coincidence or not but hey might as well give it a shot! Thanks for your videos I hope to one day be able to attend one of your workshops!

Thanks for reviewing this tripod! I've been looking for a smaller/lighter tripod than my Gitzo Mountaineer for travel/hiking and had come across a few mentions of the Centennial. Glad to hear you liked it, and would love to win the "raffle" for this one.

Nice tripod! I have one that has had some issues. Thanks for your reviews!! I really appreciate them!!

Hey Nick, long time viewer. I've been following you and the f4 guys for some time now. I'm really enjoying everyone's content. My current tripod set up is an Amazon purchased Koolehaoda. It's sturdy but it's quite heavy and has 4 leg extensions which take a long time to extend each leg so it doesn't work in a rush very well.

love your images Nick , great video

I am using the FLM tripod due to your review and recommendation! I am from Germany and wasn´t aware about the German FLM company until I saw your review! Thank´s again for this video and I am so happy with my choice due to your review! Thank´s for your great content, as always! Many greetings! Enno

Thanks for doing a review on this I've been thinking of purchasing one to replace my well used Surui. Still keen on it even with the few cons you pointed out.

I would love to get this tripod ;) Keep up the great work on your reviews and tutorials, Nick.

Thanks, Nick, for a fair review. I think this would be a great replacement for my Vanguard Alta Pro 253CT Carbon Fiber Tripod. It's served me well for about ten years, but it is on the heavy side and the extension tubes do not reliably lock. I really enjoy all of your videos.

My tripod is a Manfrotto Beefree, I would love that tripod with the spikes! Would be awesome for woodland trips... thanks for your great videos Nick.

Hey Nick - always appreciate your review vids. Like that you take the time to actually use the tripod for a while before forming your opinions. I'm just starting to get serious about landscape photography, and find myself tripod-less after a recent move to Oregon. Had an old, heavy Manfrotto, but it apparently got left behind in the move or lost. Using an old aluminum tripod my grandfather owned at moment (quite awkward and unsafe for my D850). Was eye-balling this exact tripod and same ball head with lever from Colorado Tripod Company based on a head's up in an earlier vid of yours. Not really in the budget at moment, and also out of stock. So yours would find a happy home with me ;-)

I always appreciate your reviews/. Thanks. Current tripod is a ProMaser xc-m 525c.

Great honest review Nick. My current tripod is Manfrotto Befree GT, and actually one leg is demaged, so new tripod would really come in handy :)

Had never heard of Colorado Tripod - thanks for the review!

Seems to be the combo I'm looking for. I have two Vanguard ballheads that both sag after I lock them down. I'm pleased with the Benro tripods I have them mounted on.

Another great un-paid non-biased equipment review Nick. I really enjoy seeing these types of reviews, way too many paid reviews out there. I would love a chance at winning this tripod to replace my crappy Amazon tripod that the ball head slips even with my lightest setup. Looking forward to your next video!

Thanks for the unbiased, unsponsored vid. It looks great! I currently have a Davis & Sandford TR654C-36 tripod. But this one looks better ( and I could do more than 1 timelapse at a time). Thanks

Thanks, Nick. Currently using a MeFoto Roadtrip, but looking to upgrade. Been looking at some 3 Legged Things, but this has me thinking again.

Thanks for the review. I'm stilll searching for a good tripod, will def consider this

Looks great - currently using a Manfrotto Aluminium beast & have to say did my shoulders/ back in lugging it around a recent photo hike/ trip. Would love this.. Great Vlog as usual..

Hi Nick. thanks for all you do for your subscribers. I'm currently using a Mactrem Carlsbad.

Hey Nick, thanks for a great review! I’m carrying (lugging) the Manfrotto 190X Aluminum tripod with an Acratech ball head (no lever) on my backpacking trips into the Trinity Alps Wilderness. My 59 year old legs are complaining after a 14 mile trek into camp. Fingers crossed I’m selected.

Great video as always Nick. Would love a new tripod.

Hey Nick, appreciate the review! My current tripod is Manfrotto 190XB with 486RC2 ballhead, a bit old and heavy for the type of hiking I do in the Canadian Rockies (Alberta). I know you visited the place for your photo sessions with Thomas, Adam, and Gavin. I enjoyed watching the series. 👍

That is a nice one. I am currently using Ranger which Is really a budget one but does the job. Thank you

Nice review Nick. I like the look of the tripod, and appreciate that you give away the products you review. I am currently using an extremely cheap amazon basics tripod. Although I love photography and do it often, I find it hard to spend money for tripod and have to prioritize any photography spending on the camera/lens.

As always, good honest, down to earth review. Nuts and bolts, straight talk. I'm carting around a Manfrotto BeFree aluminum. It a solid tripod but I'm not overly impressed. You and I are about the same height so the top height of the tripod is reasonable. I mostly shoot in the desert so the spikes would work fine. I enjoy your channel, reviews and humor. Take care.

Thanks for the review. I need a new tripod and would love to have this.

Considering I'm still shooting on an old Gitzo Reporter with the original head; this tripod would be a world away. :) Thanks for sharing Nick!

Wow nick, your content always makes me want to go out and shoot more! Even if it's a review of a tripod! Would love it as I'm still shooting on a tripod my aunt got me from Ali express 9 years ago for $30. Still works! But my 24-70 weighs it down. Need an upgrade!!

Thanks for the review, and I’m using a very old but a working Manfrotto and stay safe

Howard Koch CTC makes great tripods - I have the taller version of the Centennial and it has operated wonderfully over the past year and a half. From -38 in deep snow, sand beaches, and long hikes. I have been saving my Loonies to purchase another CTC tripod. So winning yours allows me to invest those savings into another piece of camera kit. Keep up your great work. I have been inspired by your videos and your lesson packages. Keep safe and keep clicking that shutter.

I never thought investing in a tripod would be much more than a couple hundred bucks at most when I first started photography. Boy was I wrong. Looking to upgrade from my bargain bin model I have now. Great video as always!

Adding this tripod to my arsenal of gear would help a lot! I currently have a small travel tripod I use occasionally.

Thanks for the review. Currently using a Gitzo Mountaineer with a BH 30 ballhead

Looks fantastic, wold love it, currently using a Vanguard tripod.

Great stuff Nick!! Current setup is a peak design travel tripod. I hate center columns as well!

Looks like a great tripod that could be used for longer hikes. It would also be a great assistance for my wife as we do quite a lot of photography adventures. Thanks for your videos they are really good quality.

Hey Nick - Thanks for the review. I'm looking to upgrade my Manfrotto. I have difficulty getting low enough and the ratcheting system shown on the Colorado would facilitate my desert field work. Enjoy your videos - stay safe!

Thanks for the review... I'm currently using a manfroto 190 with a vanguard ball head..

Great video as usual. I'm currently using a 25-30 year old aluminum Quantum tripod which was a freebie with a camera I purchased. I've been in the market for a new one because my current one is starting to fall apart. I guess shoving it into swirling wet sand and tidepools on the Atlantic Ocean shore and never having cleaned the thing is finally getting to it.

Definitely a welcome recommendation. My tripod legs are the toughest piece of gear I've had when choosing to upgrade. My Manfrotto works, but I'm just not wild about it. However, every time I look at $800+ I realize there are more effective ways to spend it.

I would love this tripod. I currently have old Slik Tripod that I got from a yardsale. I've been slowly upgrading my kit, and started with Glass first. Having a decent tripod would definitely be a boost! Thanks for making these types of videos!

I remember this tripod from your Ultimate Tripod Guide video a while back! Sadly I haven't found a Canadian dealer, and the US-CAN currency rate + shipping makes it hard for me to keep this in the "budget" category haha. It'd certainly blow away my $50 Vanguard tripod! Thanks for the review, Nick!

I agree with you 100% about the rubber grips on the twist locks, I had to replace them on my Gitzo 3543XL once and after a few months I am one down already. I wish they knurled the metal locks and had done with it.

I use a Silk tripod, so I am a heavy lifter. This was my major investment in a tripod. My day job is working with people with disabilities, so being a non profit my budget is super tight. This would be a major upgrade certainly lessen my back and shoulder pain. Thanks and enjoy all your videos. Have I laid it on thick enough yet!!!

Another great video Mr. Page. I've been using mainly the innorel brand of tripods since they are quite inexpensive and surprisingly decent. I wanted to get a colorado tripod for awhile now but apparently they don't ship to Canada as this point. Thanks again for the all great photography videos.

Thanks for the review. Well done.
