The PG-02 MKII has a ton of great features. Joe Johnson Sr goes over them and gives some use cases that you can utilize them in. Learn more about the PG-02 MKII at www.reallyrightstuff.com/pg-0...
Nice informative video about the update. Although the weight savings is nice, I'm still perfectly happy with the MKI version since it isn't something I take out shooting when I'm overly concerned about saving weight.
I appreciate the update and information about the new gimbal head. It might be my video screen, but the video was very dark and the features of the black gimbal head against the black background were very hard to see.
Can you comment on the benefits of a cradle clamp vs. the side mount as you had available in your previous PG and FG version? I’m all for simplicity but wanted to know the reasoning behind going away from that iteration.
The tripod is a modified ground pod (-32g) that includes a TFCT apex w/ Anvil head. This isn't a configuration we sell, but it would be easy enough to frankenstein together if you owned both a TFCT- and a TVC-32g. This was just used for demonstration purposes because it fit nicely on the table-top. Generally speaking, the TFCT- isn't the greatest option for pano- work. A leveling base or a photo-centric ballhead will suit you better as something to level with underneath the PG-02.
