What do you think about 18-55 lens fujinon for it? And how much $ is okay price to pay for used body X-T20?

Did you know Davy Crockett Used one of these during the siege of the Alamo in 1836!? Using just one roll of Kodak Eastman 5222 black and white 35mm motion picture film he shot enough sprocket holes to stave off General Santa Anna and his army of 2000 men for THIRTEEN DAYS! Learn more in my new youtube short "the untold history of the Yashica Mat 124G" Thank you so much for sharing. SUBBED! More people need to know about the storied history of this legendary camera spanning nearly 200 years!

Great video mate ! I won't be buying this tripod

Thank you for sharing this awesome news about the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame! 🎥💫 The discount and your insights are super helpful for anyone looking into cinema-style cameras. 👍 I can't wait to see the cinematic productions and short films you create with it! 🌟 I'm curious about your future plans for the channel. 🤔 Are there any specific types of content or special projects you're excited to explore or showcase in the coming months? 🎬🔍 Your expertise and reviews are always insightful, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's next on Grandam Media! 🚀🎥

after seeing this vid I'll be going for the peak design now, good review!

I not going to disagree with you, but that is the worst analogy I've ever heard. People are going to look up to you, and you need to do better. Ulanzi is a "good" quality cheap equipment that has no customer support. You knew that going in or at least you should have. You want customer support buy Manfrotto or Ifootage and you will pay for it, probably twice the price. I can see your frustration over the Tripod, and may well be deserved, but as far as the F38 quick disconnect system you had better remember the F22 and F38 quick disconnect system is what put Ulanzi on the map. The F38 is the benchmark for which all quick disconnects are compared. Without the the F38 system you wouldn't even know who Ulanzi even is and the F38 system is ARCA Swiss compatible so I fail to even see your point.

Amazing how modern cameras can't replicate the vibe

I bought the Ulanzi S-63 rotatable mount plate, and it broke just when I tried to figure out how it work, a mere 5 minutes out of the box. I haven't even atteched it to the camera yet. From that on I vow to never buy Ulanzi products ever again.

🌟 Wow, what an incredible video! 🌟 Thank you so much for sharing your experience of the 2024 solar eclipse! 🌞🌕 The footage, the excitement, and the personal reflections were all amazing! 🙌 🧐How did you manage to stay focused on capturing the eclipse while experiencing such an awe-inspiring event? 🤔 Thanks again for this fantastic video! 📽👏

I don’t know man.. I’ve had this tripod for 5 months and I’ve beat the crap out of it and it’s still solid and nothing has failed on it. Maybe you got one of the earlier tripods with quality issues

intro skip 01:25 cannot wait to get my camera!!!

I picked one up too and dropped a video on my channel discussing this as well! One of the best deals I've ever seen in the camera world. Can't beat it!

What is the largest SD card that can be used in the camera?

I can sing the shit out that song.

Where u at

I just purchased this tripod and the center column was SOOO TIGHT. I had to use two hands to raise the stem. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to move and then it would get stuck at the point with the short stem that can disconnect. I sent a video and was told that it’s supposed to be that tight. What?? It’s essentially unusable. I tried some dry lube on the stem with no improvement. I pestered them until I got a return label. Hopefully I will get my money back. I told them I wanted another exchange and I got an email saying they all are that tight. There is no way they are all that tight. I do t think people would be buying them.

I have it and I love it.

What lens do you recommend for it?

Really nice product review. 8 megapixel's isn't much nowadays, but go back a dozen years or so and 8mp was the best available, and there's still a lot you can do with it editing-wise. Another "feature" or benefit I see in this little camera is that it forces the user to take properly framed photos instead of the horrible smart-phone photos everyone takes because they can't take the time to simply re-orient their phone before taking a picture or shooting a video. I would much rather see the photos of your river trip taken with the 8mp Camp Snap than the photos taken on your new 48mp smart phone if your smart phone photos are all in Portrait orientation. Maybe I'm just old (ok, I AM old) but I can't stand today's vertically oriented photos and videos everyone takes on their smart phones. Seriously, can't you just rotate your phone please before hitting the shutter button?

I have F38 and it is wonderful tripod and much less $$ than Pickdesign. really well made and holding much better than many others.

Well... good thing this showed up on my feed. I was heavily interested and see that more people are complaining about things breaking, and the support for it being awful. Guess I'm gonna spend some extra money on the Peak Design, at least they give lifetime warranty!

I hope so as I'm late to the mirrorless party and just bought an X-T20 last month as a replacement for my well used Canon 760D and I'm loving the smaller form factor of the Fuji and I've been delighted with the results so far.

Love your video. Dinkus Stinkfinger is my new favorite newscaster! I began planning in early February by reserving a campsite at a state park in southern Illinois called Stephen Forbes Recreational Area. It was my second choice as my first choice, Rend Lake State Park located near the centerline of totality was already completely booked. Fortunately, my second choice offered nearly 3 minutes of totality which was good enough, and they had half a dozen sites left so I snagged one. I live in central Illinois so my driving time from home to campsite was 3 hours 15 minutes. I drove down the night before and pitched a tent, then hunkered down during one of the worst rainstorms I've ever been in a tent in. During a break in the rain I also pitched a tent for my grandson and his friend, who wouldn't arrive until near midnight due to my grandson not getting off work until late. I had convinced my grandson and his friend that this event was not to be missed and would be worth the drive. After a cold stormy night we woke up to a sunny day with light wispy clouds. Yes!! The weather looked like it was going to cooperate. We only had to drive a short distance to get to a nearby marina on the lake we were camped at and set up for the event there with the lake as a background. I had a smart telescope set up to record video and a still camera set up to do stills. The still camera was, unfortunately, a failure so I did not get any good still pics. I won't get into the details of that here because it was all my fault, but, thats ok. It was the experience that was important and the witnessing of totality is something that can never be forgotten and no pictures taken by anybody can replace the experience of being there and seeing it with your own eyes. The reactions of those around me were priceless and I'm so glad my grandson and his friends made it to experience this amazing event. I also had a Insta360 camera set up to record the surroundings and reactions and the smart telescope I deployed captured a pretty good video that I will cherish. Many days later I still feel like I'm coming down from the event and am enjoying others reactions to it. Similar to you in that you are now evaluating landscape photography (go for it!) because of the eclipse, I am quickly developing an interest in astro photography and intend to further travel down that rabbit hole as I am now researching dark sky areas to travel to. Your pictures and videos turned out great. Some of the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Just bought one new on ebay for $110! Now just need to wait for my X-T5 lol

❤❤

Good to know! I was considering this tripod, but I'll look elsewhere.

I was also just about to buy a Ulanzi Zero Y tripod when I found your video doing a search for additional reviews. Lack of communication from this company's customer service department is really awful. I'll avoid Ulanzi for now.

Beautiful majestic birds love in nature 💕😍

😂 Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird.

They are beautiful

Wouldn’t buying super glue for $2 and doing what they said, which would take all of 5 minutes, be faster and easier than boxing it back up, going to the post office, shipping it out to them and then waiting for a replacement? Even way more time went into making this video than it would’ve taken.

Great review! Got it as my first ever proper camera and its been great a fun tool to mess around with

Fuji is great as a complementary system for me. Would never replace my Sonys or Nikons with it but I am glad to have it.

Whoa! Me and my dad love going out and finding cool birds! i’m so excited to tell him about your channel!

Nice job! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!

That is a really cool looking bird 🐦

💙

These Colbor's seem interesting. They seem handy to have -to just throw in a bag and get u out of trouble.

i got this exact lens yesterday off ebay too, and so far i love it. you said that your af is quite loud, but mine seems to be quite quiet? so maybe it varies from lens to lens. however i have been having issues with updating the lens, i cannot get it to show up in my file explorer, even after using my laptop and pc with multiple cables. but anyway, great video mate, i'll definitely subscribe for future stuff :))

I feel like the in body ND filters are the greatest thing ever!

Did you say "KOJAK"? It's pronounced KO-DAK. Kojak was a TV series from the 70s.

i have no idea what ur talking about, can u show instead of just talking??

Damn the bgm and the scene doesnt match at all lol. Love the vid tho. I'm considering getting mine after seeing your vid

Iphone 16 Pro with a Ricoh GRIII makes more sense to me. Especially if you own a X-S20 or X-H2S.

Kodak colours? I like it.

Was there a few weeks ago. This place is beautiful and barely anybody there.

Thanks for the review. The lens barrel colors are terrible IMO. Why try so hard to be different? The optics are great though.

Nice color,the thing is the video is limited to 10mins ,so if you would think buying gimbal for it,im not sure it its worth it😅

Thanks mate not gonna buy it the video helped me decide

I came across your video through a search on reliability of the Ulanzi Zero F38. I appreciate the review and the heads up. I have been trying to decide between this tripod and the Heipi. You just helped me make up my mind. Products do, on occasion have build quality issues, but poor customer service is something I make a point of avoiding. Thanks for the review.
