Hey nice review. It would be great if you make part 2 where you show the actual panning footage taken with telephoto lens so we can judge quality of the legs/head combo ourselves. I worked mostly with rented Sachtlers and Vintens and if this one is really comparable it would be great. When I see how thin are panning handles I have doubts. They must be flexing.
Great review. Was wondering if you'd be able to review the Ulanzi Video Fast Heavy Duty Tripod? That one seems to have alot of the same features as this one but at a significantly cheaper price. Would love to know whether its worth the extra expense of the Sirui when compared to that one. Also can the fluid head of the Sirui be removed from that tripod and installed on a smaller travel sized tripod? I'm a very light run and gun type of camera operator and the legs add alot of bulk but I like the video centric features of the head and would love to just take the head and put it on a slimmer tripod to save on bulk given my equipment wont be that heavy. Look forward to your thoughts!
Hey, Nice video, i just subscribed! :) And i totally get you with tripods. My first one was a HAMA who knows what, and it was terrible. Of course have to start with something, but can't be cheap on a tripod. I have a regular/standard quality one now, but with a cool fluid head. (A fluidhead can fire up your videomaking process)
Thanks for subscribing! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Ya I agree and there comes a time when you realize not everything has to be handheld with all of this dynamic motion in it. Some shots just need to be thoughtfully framed and left still or a nice smooth tilt/pan.
Hello Thanks for the great review. I also purchased the svs75 tripod. But I had a problem. I extended the tripod legs and fixed them, but they came down when I applied pressure. Do you have such problems with your tripod? Is there anything I can do about it? Thank you.
Thanks for reaching out! I have only felt this when I tried to literally hang my body weight on it just to see if it could hold my weight. It only slid a little bit and then I stopped, but I weigh 190 pounds so thats to be expected. I had the mid level spreader locked in when I did this test and I was surprised at how much weight I applied until it started to slip. The max load is 25kg or 55 pounds so any more pressure than that and it will start to slide. (In hindsight I probably should have done that test in this video) That being said if you are applying less that and it is slipping then I would first make sure that you are fully twisting the locking mechanisms once you have your height set it doesn't hurt to give them a little extra twist and try it again. After that if it's still slipping sub 55 pounds I'd contact Sirui. Please let me know if you have any more questions!
@@cvaughnt Thank you. I contacted SIRUI customer service and they showed me how to adjust the tripod legs. By adjusting the bottom fixing part of the tripod with the smallest hex wrench included with the product, I was able to adjust the fixing strength of the entire leg. After adjustment, the tripod legs were firmly fixed.
