How the heck does anyone understand what you are saying. I honestly thought I had high speed on and messed about trying to slow down the audio. Yabbadabbayaddadabba.
Thanks Kade, i was about to buy a zero y and then you showed me the wobble on the centre piece. If i want to take a long exposure in portrait mode, i will have to extend the centre to orient the ball head. It will wobble in the wind, making bad photos. If i can't take good long exposure photos, there's little reason to buy the tripod.
I bought the F38 model and the center column is very stable with absolutely no shake. You do need to tighten the default column as it is connected into 2 separate parts. Maybe that's what caused the shake. For half the price and better feature than PD, this is a no brainer. PD is super overpriced.
I own both of those travel tripods. After trying Ulanzi F38 for half year I decided to go back to peak design tripod . Regardless so many comparing videos on YT, I am feeling Ulanzi doesn't give confident on stability when I shooting on windy conditions. I found this is because the distance between each lags for Ulanzi F38 are 80 cm. The peak design tripod has it leg distance of 100 cm. it means peak design tripod can open much wider and give more stability when it is fully opened.
Bought the PD some time ago, shame this wasnt about when i bought it originally, however PD size and weight and use since i got it helped me a lot. I carry it without feeling it on the bag, when i fly nobody says anything as its so small and light in its own tiny bag.
Good info. Slow and steady with the "TV Speech" though, only because you are actually good AND you have a good TV Face 🙂, but we want to understand the words. Only love. OH. You were right!! I just now bought the F38 version. Great advice!!
I’m European and went to Alberta in June 2023, this cinematography along with the music bought tears to my eyes, in a nice way. I waited 3 years due to covid to go to Canada, then the year I could go I had to have heart surgery just weeks before my flight, I thought isd never make it but I did. I went to Banff and many other places but alas I could not hike be out in the heat or over do things so I missed a lot, until now, you’ve just shown me what I missed, Canada is fantastic I’d love to go again but I will not make that flight again. Thank you so much for allowing me to watch your journey, I will surely treasure my memories and I’m sure you will too Greetings from 🇩🇪
Thank you for showing the infinite beauty of Lake Louise (lake of the little fishes, as the native people call it.) It's a special place in the world. Amazing imagery in your shots. Great video
I live in Alberta and visit Banff National Park quite often. Your video is the closest thing to capturing the beauty and essence of this amazing place. Thank you ❤.
This was just amazing to watch. Brought back so many memories! I featured a lot of the similar locations in my Banff video too. Stellar job man. Colors looked amazing as well!
I've seen so many videos about these comparisons and this is by far the best one ever!! and I haven't even finished it yet this should be put on product pages or on a buyer's youtube homepage because it's just so good and helpful amazing channel subbed and I liked the video
Superb review! Thorough, detailed. I love the fact that you demonstrated how they would perform in the field. I’m looking to upgrade my Manfrotto tripod and the wobbly extended center column is exactly the reason why. I guess I need to save a bit more and gey the PD. Thanks 👍
Very good comparison. Once a tripod was the first gear a photographer had to invest in, but today with all these stabilisations in both the camera and the lens, tripods are needed in only a few situations. I'm not a big fan of tripods, in general because I feel, they're limiting my creativity. I often see other photographers keeping the same height when shooting landscape, while I'm switching around. Anyway, keep on rolling!
Amazing comparison, very thorough, Love it! I am in process of debating this and I think I am leaning toward quality, but still that price tag is tough to swallow.
It's not the use of the leg locks that makes them get looser, it's not a wear related change (normally), it's the plastic slowly, irreversibly stretching over TIME UNDER TENSION. If you store the tripods with the latches open, the plastic will retain its size and therefore its tension much, much longer. This is true for almost all plastics and definitely all plastics that are used on consumer items like tripods.
Smallrig AP-02. Holds 17.6 lbs. weighs 2.54 lbs, 62.6 inches tall, $139.00 US. Who would ever try to put 36 lbs on a "travel" tripod. Who has camera and lens that weighs that much?
It only wobbles when you move it back and forth with your hands. It doesn't wobble with the camera just sitting there, unless you move it with your hands. It's not like it's wobbling back and forth while you're trying to take a picture.
I remember one of my first junk tripods that I had to use the timer and the mirror lock up to have any chance of the camera staying steady for long exposures. Any wind and I would just give up.
