This is the SmallRig Heavy-Duty Fluid Head Tripod AD-01 3751 and it's a heck of a lot of tripod for the money. Perfect for the video maker on a budget.

Oh man, I'm so glad you appreciated it. I think it's a super cool area, I love walking around there. It's popular for skating and BMX. It goes for miles, so people use it as a biking highway of sorts.

SONY not Sony pay attention to detail and make sure the brain sees exactly what the eyes are looking at. ZOMBIES have eyes but cannot see = Ears and cannot hear You were programmed to be a ZOMBIE and you do not realize it Step out of the ZOMBIE zone Learn that ALL CORPORATE {legal} names are always in the ALL CAPS iteration The reason for that you have to make the effort to study and discover. Start by visiting a cemetery - The clues and evidence is there. Also - everybody is buried there. It is full of bodies. Good luck/ No replies are necessary - I am far too busy to read replies - unless one sees a comment reference number

@andrew_koala2974 Жыл бұрын
The lower legs should telescope over the upper legs this is to prevent or mitigate dirt from getting into the slide mechanism and the 'outer' part of the telescoping legs can be easily wiped clean.

I noticed the little bit of play going left to right... something like 1/4" or 1/2" or so ... pretty frustrating. Not sure what the point is of being able to tighten it all the way down if it's not going to be fully locked in to place.

Great review! I just wished you said price in the earlier parts of the vid since usually people who are looking to buy something (like me) always look for that and it's just cumbersome to check the price myself while I'm watching a review - especially when im on my phone or doing something else.
@markwiemels
@markwiemels Жыл бұрын
Yes, I totally understand that. I am actually intentionally not mentioning prices in the videos, because the manufacturers are changing the prices all the time. So I could say a price that is now way higher, or way lower, than the price when someone watches the video, which just ends up being misleading. Then the whole comment thread becomes people complaining about the price being wrong.
@alvin5122
@alvin5122 Жыл бұрын
​@@markwiemels Point taken! I think a disclaimer at the start pointing out that it is its current price *might* help with that -- but I can't be sure it's my first time in your channel. Now I may not be like everyone, but I personally understand how prices can be different from country to country all the way to hour to hour since I live in the Philippines. But anyway, I just think it's just a lot more helpful for viewers who just need a ballpark figure to compare prices quickly. I honestly I don't think it's misleading for you to report the current price. If the price changes, then it changes and that's not your fault. Some products increase in price because of good reviews like with Gerald Undone. The video could also be outdated and a number of other factors that's out of our control. But the bottom line is, if the price changes then its not your fault and it's unreasonable for people to get mad at you for it. However, does knowing that will that stop people from getting mad at you? No, but putting in the price is a lot more helpful to the people who genuinely need it.

@@markwiemels -- There is that. However, since this video is directed at a very particular audience -- an audience who is already conscious that the _price RANGE_ would fluctuate depending on the merchant AND that the price range applied _AT THE TIME of recording the video_ -- you could have noted these details accordingly. It happens all the time, and we definitely understand. Otherwise, with that key factor left out, you'll just have people contending that the product is in fact, NOT inexpensive -- like it's coming from Bose or something.
