I've had this tripod for 6 months, I take it with me when I go on hikes because it's so light. I use it for my landscape photography with my Nikon D850 and with the Nikon D500 & Sigma 60-600mm lens, which is a total of about 9lbs. and I have never had any problems with it. Mine isn't that hard to get the legs down on and nothing is broken yet. You could have just gotten a bad one. This is the only bad review I've seen on this tripod, there could be some bad ones but I haven't seen one until now. I hope everyone that watches this watches other reviews of it and knows how good it really is because it sure does work me.
Anything manufactured has a 4% acceptable failure rate, highlighting it does not mean the product is bad. Michael Dell once said "We have 25,000 computers leaving a plant every day, but we only ever hear about the one bad one".
1:16 They probably use Loctite. If used correctly, you can glue an elephant to the ceiling with that stuff. Although I think this is just a one time faulty unit, I can understand the agony if that thread comes off while you're shooting on a wediing with thousands worth of gear...
I was looking for a tripod that is light and thin and got to your youtube comment. Thanks for the review. If you can make a suggestion for an affordable tripod that is light and thin for travelling but can reach the height of 1.5m, what would it be?
Thanks for the honest review ! Have you ever used the Rollei Compact Traveller Carbon ? Looks to me to be identical to the Srui 5c and I cant decide which one to buy
@@Romafedorov Alright, thabks for the reply 👌 I ordered it yesterday and will probably get it today. Im really interested to see how sturdy it actually is. Oh and more thing: Maybe its the case, that Rollei is onl shipping this product in germany (I only found german reviews online, Im from Germany) So this would explain why you probably never even saw an offer for one 🤔
