Like your subtle sense of humor. Must be from being stuck on that island known as U.K! Great demo! 😎😎

Hmmm… I have been looking to upgrade to a fully adjustable counterbalanced head for some time. The Miller CX heads seemed the best to my mind. But this T8 head will do similar for a fraction of the price. As an Australian, SCG means Sydney Cricket Ground. For the price, I think these tripods definitely hit a six!

Thank you for your review, I find it very didactic and technical. I want to ask you several questions that go deeper into your review, since I am undecided in choosing the SCG T8 head or the SIRUI SHV15 for a camera package that can vary depending on configuration from 2.5kg to 8kg What do you think is the minimum camera weight with which the counterbalance leaves the weight balanced throughout the tilt range without having to overcome the return of the counterbalance? Do you think the SCG-T8 is at its limit for an 8kg camera setup? With the drags at a minimum, are the pan and tilt movements smooth, free and frictionless or at least not noticeable as residual drag? Are the drags 100% purely fluid as they are on an O'connor 2575 (the force depends on the speed of the head turn, at the beginning of the movement there is no drag and this increases with the increase in speed, and the resistance in this increase depends on the chosen regulation) and do they not present variable drag variations during movements as happens with fluid heads that are not high-end? Does the head allow you to make clean diagonals, or do you have to work hard to get a clean diagonal? Thank you.

Looks a little like a rehash of classic Manfrotto. Fair enough if they put some aditional though into it. Personally I love the Manfrotto MT190XPRO4 for lighter cameras. Gives you real weired stable angles or plain straight down shot and the extra spignot lock comes in handy for small lights, scrims or monitor. Tried the Ursa Mini Pro but that was a little tricky due to weight and I wouldn't recommand that. Doeble but needs some attention.

While watching i was thinking this looks like a Sachtler Ace tripod, also the smallrig has a fixed counterbalance of between 5 - 8kg but it would be nice if they made a head with adjustable counterbalance

Which country are they based? Their tripods seem great and affordable.

the max height is like 165 cm (5'4ft) isn't it a little too small? A lot of actors would be taller that for eye level shots. Correct if im wrong. Most of the actors i've worked with are at least 5'7ft tall or even 6 and above, so im not sure if i could use it without an apple box in those scenarios where i need a closeup or something that would require that height.

1.5 meters of maximum heights is quite low TBO.

It’s 180 cm max height y’all

Wow, what a blant Sachtler rip-off 🤯
