Well yes, it is pretty good. It's the video tripod for the RU-vid generation. Now it's NOT the smallest tripod, but probably the smallest VIDEO tripod: Manfrotto Befree Live Fluid Head Tripod:

I like this guy. Honest, simple reviews of useful stuff without all the jerking around and the need to be ludicrous like the most of today's youtubers. Only the accent is here and there hard to understand, but I'm sure he'll work on that! Keep it on ;)

@DrWaSaBe 4 года назад

I love his style and knowledge alot but I do suffer in understanding the accent =(

@raksh9 3 года назад

Lok's accent is part of the draw. Early on, he unashamedly played on it by referring to his work as 'wideo'. 😁

@animaysh 7 лет назад

I think the guy at 1:53 should show up in every video randomly and say "yaa" to what Lok says.;)

@TheLokCheung 7 лет назад

animaysh He is Darren Soh, award winning Singapore architectural photographer and we were shooting this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PjLi1zKT4-U.html about all the gear he use!

@@TheLokCheung you support Amazon who supports human rights abuses... not good... also, the background music in this video is not annoying enough and not loud enough...

Love your videos Lok! I do miss seeing you and Kai as a team though lol. Also I'd like to say, in the most respectful manner possible that sometimes I have a hard time understanding certain things due to your accent. BUT I really really appreciate that you take the time to add proper captions to your videos! Keep up the great work buddy!

@michaeljarcher 7 лет назад

You did fail to mention, like all Cat models, the battery only lasts 1hour in ever 24. And tendency to activate the sleep mode for no reason is a common fault. otherwise perrrfect. When I say sleep mode I don't just mean paws

Mefoto tripod i believe is more sturdier and feature packed. but the downside, the tripod head is your usual ball adapter instead of video mount. but that aside, it is the best, cheap-ish PHOTO tripod out there imo

@tookarevo3271 6 лет назад

Don't buy this tripod , i ordered it directly from Manfrotto website recieved it one week later damaged, broken screw on the fluid head, this tripod has a MANUFACTURE DEFECT, when you fold the legs it is touching the screw that adjust the fluid head, meaning if it is touching it, it was design to break, i got mine broken straight out of the box. then they give me hell to return it, they don't send you a return label like every other company in the world that sells products online, you have to call and ask for one, bottom line , 1 week after i recieved the tripod and informed them i want to return, i still can't do it because i have to fight with them to get a return label. Defected product, Poor service

@cbgsfilmproductions 6 лет назад

@lemnisgate8809 7 лет назад

It's a nice tripod but if you add a little too much weight the legs start to collapse, maybe there is a way to tighten it I'll have to check mine out.

@TheLokCheung 7 лет назад

Yea the screw at the lock could be adjusted, you just need a hex screwdriver

@danieltobar8602 7 лет назад

I really like this tripod but I've had some issues with it. I've bought and returned 3 units and even tried 2 more in a store but they have all had the same issue. The bubble leveler has not been in balance. At fist I thought that I could live with this issue but then I noticed that the issue was with the whole head, because when panning after I balanced the head with either the horizon or the cameras leveler it would lose the horizontal balance. I really hope I just had bad luck with the ones I tried because I would really like to have one.

@flipflinstone6494 7 лет назад

Without maybe knowing it, you showed people with this video exactly why NOT to buy this tripod! Your words say one thing, but the video says the opposite. In the whole video you didnt show ONE smooth pan or tilt. And that is exactly the problem with cheaper tripods like this. It is impossible to make a smooth pan.
