What do you think about the YC Onion Pineta Peak tripod in comparison to the Sachtler Flowtech?

@focuspulling Месяц назад

Favorite feature: no toy-color accents! Just looks professional - ironically more than the O.G.

@LetsGoRideMTB Месяц назад

I have used it for the last 3 months, it is definitely staying under my rig. at least until I have no other things I need to to buy and randomly have money just lying around.

I have enjoyed my 75mm Flowtech tripod for 3 years. It is one of the best gear investments I have made and would replace it if lost or stolen. That said, I'm pleased to see other companies like YC Onion and Sirui making tripods to compete directly with the Flowtech at a much lower price. Competition is always good for the consumer.

Love this tripod, thanks for the review. The head looks exactly like a Smallrig DH10 - from the way the lever extends to the overall design, the screw placements and the Manfrotto to RS3 plate switch.

@bofranciscofilms Месяц назад

Absolutely love that locking mid spreader!!

@CineD Месяц назад

Yes it's pretty cool and useful.

@felixschwiderski Месяц назад

Got the trypod a few weeks ago and I really like the design of the legs. Just one big flaw for me is the ball head. It's really well thought out, but get's lose when using a littler heavier set-up, like a FX6 fully rigged. I changed the ball for an iFootage one and now it works really well.

@CineD Месяц назад

Do you mean the „Coconut“ ball head with a fluid head attached to it? Interesting. I tried it with three different heads and it seemed to work fine, but I didn‘t really put super heavy setups onto it. Nino

@felixschwiderski Месяц назад

@@CineD Yes, I mean the coconut ball which comes with the trypod, but I use an ifootage K7 head with it and now also the ifootage coconut ball.

@wretchedworm Месяц назад

how does it compare to the smallrig potato jet tripod?

@audiovisualrangel Месяц назад

Does the mid spreader clashes with the center column when closing the tripod legs?

@josueurias5811 Месяц назад

I’m currently on the market for a new tripod. This seems to check most of the boxes for me, specially for the price! Great review!!

@CineD Месяц назад

Appreciate it! Yes, I really like it a lot. Nino

@stephansilwester8600 Месяц назад

Super - Danke - Top Review - Habs gleich gekauft zum Sachtler die ideale Ergänzung ;-)

@CineD Месяц назад

Great to hear, Sly :-)

@joeaddison Месяц назад

Fascinating thanks for the review! Not for me but I know a couple of filmmakers who would love this!

@CineD Месяц назад

Thanks for watching!

@migsflicks Месяц назад

Can't wait for mine to arrive

@beauchampy Месяц назад

That head is identical to the smallrig one. Definitely from the same factory.

@zeneyes Месяц назад

Is there a compatible dolly?

I was gonna get the sachtler flowtech 75 at b&h and went to the floor unit to check it out one last time. unfortunately, it was broken. If a floor unit broke in store, it gave me 2nd thoughts about purchasing the sachtler flowtech 75.

@Its_Quash Месяц назад

It appears surie replaced it with a different version of a quick release on the legs. Which I understand since my model I can hear crunching and is actually pretty hard to work with if going solo

@CineD Месяц назад

They replaced them because of a patent issue with Videndum, the Sachtler mother company.

@buddyfx7026 Месяц назад

So I love my sachtler, I genuinely feel like I'm never going back (unless I get like an oconnor or something).. BUT I'm just happy more companies are taking tripods more seriously and giving the market options. Back when I started, it was too much for my budget or slim pickin's.. so seeing products like this does make me happy :)

@CineD Месяц назад

totally agree, I think as a market it was boring for many companies for a long time, which left it to some of the expert companies in the field with very little competition, allowing them to charge a lot for tripods. Now it‘s quickly becoming a different story …

@geoffreybassett6741 Месяц назад

Looks pretty good. I think I would miss the magnetic lock from the Sachtler's, which I love. I purchased the Sirui to save cost and it broke on an important shoot (leg locked itself at a specific height). Bought the Sachtler just for peace of mind. Hopefully this one works well and stays on the market to offer an alternative.

@CineD Месяц назад

That‘s a shame - yeah the Pineta Peak really feels like it can last for a while, the mechanism is not nearly as stiff as on the Sirui legs. Nino

@Johow Месяц назад

Good review. Thank you. But one VERY important point is missing here: how does it perform when you pan? To me it looks like the leg attachments on top are very small and weak. I hate this with cheap tripods. The whole tripod then twists and winds when panning.

@CineD Месяц назад

I noticed no twisting whatsoever, seriously … just don‘t use their FH75 fluid head, which is not a great head to pan. But with a Sachtler head it worked perfectly.

@migsflicks 12 дней назад

Mine broke within 7 set uses, nothing crazy heavy just R6 and BMPCC6K setups… First it was tripod feet issues now a whole leg broke off… disappointing

@andyvan5692 Месяц назад

a great design, but in my opinion this isn't just a 'video' or 'cine' tripod, from the looks, features etc. it can act as a support for wildlife photographers, even shooters, in those cases mounting binoculars/scopes, or mirrorless & dslr's with long lenses (200-600mm) for still imagery, weather 35mm format, or Medium format (like Phase One, xt; Hasselblad H, or V series) or spotting uses.

@gochiell_suwandanata Месяц назад

I want one😅

@dollhausenx Месяц назад

Looks like a good tripod with nice features, but I'm not sure I would call reverse engineering and putting out a similar, but cheaper, product "serious innovation."

@chanmaung Месяц назад

WTF...You missed the WHOLE point of these tripods. There isn't any shot of someone actually opening up the tripod from lowest to highest with out having to unclick all three legs from the bottom. That's the selling point and the new technology. Can could be a 5 seconds video.
