Is the new Freewell Real Travel Tripod the best tripod for traveling? It doesn't get much lighter than this! 818 grams. I'll compare it to my current favourite lightweight carbon fiber tripod the Ulanzi & Coman.

@jimsmith556 4 ай бұрын

If you keep the legs together after extending them on the Ulanzi then you can open/close the three clamps together at each section on the three legs. Much faster. You would have beat or tied the Freewell. I hate the twist clamps on tripods. I love the clamps and the quick release plate on the Ulanzi. Freewell needs to offer a non-video head. Switching to vertical shots for photography is much easier with an L bracket so you keep the centre of gravity over the tripod. Great review!

I have Ulanzi and Peak Design plates and the Ulanzi ones seem to be slightly smaller and down fit in all Arca Swiss compatible tripod heads, including my Benro head or the Freewell travel tripod.

@Panotaker 4 ай бұрын

I have the very expensive Peak Design Carbon tripod with a small video head on it. When I bought it, there was no other option out there like there is now. I’m glad I have it, but it is way over priced today since there are other options now that are just as good, if not better, for half the price.

@stephensears7483 4 ай бұрын

Does the ball head unscrew from the base? I like that the clips that control the spread of the legs seem to be made of metal. It is a weak detail of the coman.

@QuicknStraight 4 ай бұрын

I rarely use a tripod, unless I am doing night shooting. I have a Velbon Sherpa 343, aluminium, weight 800g, max height 1.3m (51"), min height 16cm (6.5"), folded height 40cm (15.5"). Swapped out the Velbon head for a Selens ball-head with quick release Swiss Arca plate. It's very light, very strong and has a much slimmer profile when folded for carrying than a carbon fibre tripod. Got it for a silly cheap price, too!

@outofthecommonphotography5503 2 ай бұрын

You crack me up! LOL The side comments are what does it. The only thing about the Freewell is that it has a built in monopod. The weight isn't that big of a difference to me. I mean as long as it's between I guess 3-5 pounds I just don't care who is the lightest. The Ulanzi though have been catching my eye. Thanks for the laughs. And look out for that stabby, wooden chair!

@charliejg 4 ай бұрын

Really weird that the Freewell comes with a video head. Maybe they sent it that way because they thought of you as a video guy? Question: Will an arca swiss L bracket be able to mount on that Ulanzi tripod head without the quick release plate? Question #2: This has nothing to do with tripods, but though you might have a good answer. Where are the left handed cameras? I play guitar and there are left handed guitars. But, no left handed cameras. Is this a conspiracy against left handed people? Did they have a a meeting about it? Thanks for the review. Have a great week.

@@cameraconspiracies It's mainly due to extra fees like import duties and taxes in Canada. Rollei is a German company. These fees add up on top and along with other costs like handling and distribution, they hike up the final price you see in Canada.

I'm always wary of the tripods with a single twist-lock mechanism to lock multiple sections. I've had a couple of them and the mechanism failed within a few weeks. I've never had a problem with the flip style or twist-lock on each section. I'd rather save my money than save a few seconds in deployment - shooting with a tripod is never really fast.
