Special thanks to Jason Vong (subscribe to his RU-vid channel: geni.us/ak1YN) for his behind the scenes footage at this wedding

@undercross81 7 лет назад

@maxim.horoshilov 7 лет назад

This monopod is incredible! I've bought it by your advice and tested it out yesterday. Feels pretty awesome! The build quality is quite good. I'm totally satisfied! Thanks Kraig. 😊

@TailoredTechnique 2 месяца назад

Great video bro. Love this mono pod

@arunketsirat6035 6 лет назад

I bought this complete setup on your recommendations. got delivered today and I'm very impressed...... thx bud

@BStarrCinema 7 лет назад

Before I bought my first legit monpod (about a year ago) I did a ton of research and found that the Sirui seemed to be the better piece of equipment. Bought it and loved it, but then I broke it. So I decided to buy the Manfrotto just to see what I was missing. Hated it immediately and switched it out for another Sirui. Love it!

@eyedewfilms6588 7 лет назад

Sirui Video Monopod is beast. Just used 1 on my 2nd wedding of the year!

@marekhajduk6269 5 лет назад

I am a lucky owner of the P-204SR model which has the same functions. I work mainly with a Sony PXW-Z280 video camera plus accessories and due to the fact that I travel a lot, the possibility of distributing the monopod and practically putting it in the hand luggage is invaluable. The quality is excellent and additional advantage is the weight of 1.3kg ... just great! I heartily recommend.

@JimMakosCom 7 лет назад

I went for the slightly more expensive model (426) and couldn't be happier, Kraig! I couldn't agree more with you and I too lean it towards the ground for lower angle shots. After years of using an entry-level tripod, this equipment has been a magnificent product as I recently showed in a video. I'll be showing how I create custom links for genius link shortening service using my own domain next where I'm giving a shout to your channel, so thanks for all the inspiration lately!!

@justgaston 7 лет назад

Once again convincing me to buy!! THANK YOU!!

@MBWeddingFilms 6 лет назад

Can't wait to try mine out tomorrow!

@Arlorevolution 7 лет назад

Dope video Kraig! I'll have to upgrade after I purchase my GH5. Thank you! 😀

@pappysproductions 7 лет назад

great review. thank you!

@RL-Visuals 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video. This is my favorite monopod. I have had camera drop before when an old lady walked passed, grabbed the monopod and dragged it down arggghhhhh. But apart from the one time it's been perfect. If you are shooting outdoors and you are planning on leaving it for a while, I would suggest sandbags. Great monopod, 2nds as a light camera tripod and 3rd as a light stand.

@KaptureKings 7 лет назад

WFS... GREAT Review. I picked up TWO of them when you first mentioned them sometime ago. BEST BUY :)

@humaniqueperth1884 6 лет назад

@Inglesfluido 6 лет назад

Man thanks a lot you are really helpful :)

@DjTallyIndia 7 лет назад

Been using this for more than a year now... probably the best monopod ever..

@mauriciolee7349 Месяц назад

Thank Wedding Film School for such an INFORMATIVE review of Sirui monopod. I love it when you demonstrate the disadvantage of this tool. That is while folding, you jam you hand skin into the lock and it hurts. As of today, June 15th, 2024, this model is discontinued. The newer models look better. I will try them later.

@adamblaster 7 лет назад

I have that same monopod and used it all over the world while shooting bts for band documentaries. I LOVE IT!

@AshTailor 7 лет назад

Love this monopod. For stability, it's very good. I still like the manfrotto purely because i like the instability - useful for when i want support vertically but want to keep 'moving'. :)

@carlleducq7955 7 лет назад

Good Review Kraig!

@TannaTime 7 лет назад

Yay~ I have this and love it!

@ErikThureson 7 лет назад

Simply Inspiring!

@Arlo360-Official 7 лет назад

I love this mono-pod. Almost went with the crowd on the Manfrotto and am so glad I chose this one. By the way I could not find the value in the more expensive carbon fiber. The basic $159 model will do most people just fine.

@TrevorVaubel 7 лет назад

Yay, reviews!

@KinetibebStudios 7 лет назад

Good review like always Kraig! I think you can detach the bottom part of the monopod for low-angle shots.

@lamosos 7 лет назад

It's a pain in the ass, you don't have that kinda time on a wedding day.

@mikewilson9601 4 года назад

You can tighten the feet easily by using the supplied allen key (wrench). This is a brilliant piece of kit. Worth every penny. Thoroughly recommended.

@omertaha7228 7 лет назад

thanks for you bro I learn from you many things LOve you ~~

@ericjamesphotography 7 лет назад

I've got that one and love it!

@StephenBuss 7 лет назад

Have you tried the new Manfrotto monopod that also locks? It's great.

@MiniatureReview 6 лет назад

Great overview. Are you still using your Sirui monopod or have you switched to something else?

@YusufOnder 7 лет назад

nice review kraig...

@MasteringHow-To 7 лет назад

What gimbal do you recommend for my d810 with a zeiss lens? I see you using one for low shots. Let me know

@lkvideo 7 лет назад

Hey Kraig, Love your videos. I have been using the Sirui monopod for over 4 years. I hated the foam grip so I wrapped a tennis wrap grip on mine (Wilson Tennis Racquet Grip) Awesome for grip for your monopod when your run and gunning.

@protestfilms2426 7 лет назад

Lou Kulynych why did you hate the foam? I find it comfortable enough.

@lkvideo 7 лет назад

I just love the feel of the tennis grip for that monopod

@protestfilms2426 7 лет назад

Lou Kulynych do you think the racquet wrap will adhere to aluminum? I have an aluminum top handle on my cage and it is uncomfortable to carry around.

@sermini1975 7 лет назад

Hi! thanks for the great review. I have a question, if you unscrew the bottom legs of the tripod, can you carry the main stick inside a carry on bag? Says it's 2.37 feet at closed length. What is is without them? Thanks.

@EngetDang 7 лет назад

Awesome review. What's the gear bag you use at 33 seconds of the video?

@undercross81 7 лет назад

Finally, been waiting for your review on this monopod, I like using it too and I agree that it's too tall on the shortest fold so I usually take and hand held my camera if I needed low angle. How does it compare to the new Manfrotto X-pro monopod and the Libec HFMP?

@wojtekanimations2530 7 лет назад

can give me a link to a new manfrotto x-pro

@eduardocortes-dv4lo 5 лет назад

Can you make a video showing your moves/positions/usability with the monopod pleeeeaasse???

@Topic_____542 5 лет назад

Hey Kraig, do you think it's possible to use the SIRUI Sirui P-204S to attach my gimbal on to? I'm asking because I don't know what the 1/4 thread is made out of and I'm hoping it can support 5lbs, so it won't snap, like my own personal monopod did.

@onerugrat 6 лет назад

how fast can you adjust the locking twists on this monopod on the fly, can you extend or contract after a 1/2 twist?

@j.visiontvgarzonhuila6404 7 лет назад

hola, soy de Colombia, quiero saber si el estabilizador que utiliza es bueno, o es mejor que el Glidecam HD2000

@dop_vincent 7 лет назад

Good review love your videos. wedding film School this channel so awesome it's a lot of people who want to get into wedding filmmaking. Thank you so much kreg 😉 and yea I would like you to once check this new monopod & Tripod by company call lebic I hope you love the new design concept and the product.

@samanshp 7 лет назад

Editing on point

@NylahK 7 лет назад

Oooooooo I am going to do that for low angles at the next wedding I shoot! I do love this monopod otherwise :D

@michaelbrogan6412 7 лет назад

I have been looking at gear available that looks like reasonable quality. instead of using the monopod have you considered using the steadicam solo. Its a steadicam and monopod in one

@jeffmicheleweddingphoto 5 лет назад

How does the Sirui compare to the iFootage Cobra 2 line? Curious if the Cobra 2s lock like the Sirui do! I really want something that locks well

@Leo_Y09 7 лет назад

i really like your Review pretty much like all your videos. but what was up with your hair in the wedding shots? :D Like the natural crazy look like in the review parts more than that straith flat stuff ;)

@Fiedi 6 лет назад

I really like this monopod and want to buy it, but I wonder if Sirui204S won't be too small for weddings :/

@heartshapedfilms 7 лет назад

I thought you got the new manfrotto one @weddingfilmschool. this looks sweet but you can't get the carbon one in the UK

@DKtracks 7 лет назад

The annoiance of setting up tripods is pretty much gone for me since I use the Manfrotto triaut 058b. The leg system is amazing on that one. It is heavy and if you want to, you can reach incredible height with it. If you are able to carry the weight, I can totally recommend that one. It has been my main tripod for years, and I still use my first one. They are build like a tank.

@patticake5311 7 лет назад

How much play is there in the feet once they're open and the stick is tightened so it won't tilt or pan?

@DangLeProject92 4 года назад

what do you think on cheaper version Neweer monopod with Fluid Head ?

@that1cameraguy 7 лет назад

“Can’t go wrong with Jason Vong!”

@ClarkeLSmith 5 лет назад

Hi Kraig, I had a couple of questions: 1. Can the base of this monopod behave the same as the manfrotto (which I own) that allows the monopod to titlt on the ball mechanism. I get that it is usually locked but is there a way to loosen the rig a a pivot point somewhere at or near the base to do a "lean in" shot or the kind of pretend "dolly-in" shot you could do with the manfrotto? 2. I saw that the Sirui P-426SR Photo/Video Monopod with VH-10X Head ( www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1352784-REG/sirui_p426sr_vh10x_10x_carbon_fiber_6.html ) supports 22 lbs. Not sure if it's because of the head specs or if it's the whole thing, but I use a Canon C300-Mark II and I tried using it on my Manfrotto monopod, and it really seems to heavy for the rig (which the way I have my Camera built, coming at 13 lbs, I see how the Manfrotto's 11lbs max weight can't handle it... but would the Sirui P-426SR be able to handle it? Thanks in advance if you know this. Otherwise no worries. Good video.

@ethanbrittfilms 7 лет назад

Already planning on this purchase, but now that you made this perfect review...you better believe I'm using your amazon links! #keepkraigoffthestreets

@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia 7 лет назад

Ethan Britt get the Manfrotto monopod with the new locking base instead. Those twist locks are lame and not as trustworthy as the clamp locks Manfrotto offers.

@SPDTDL 7 лет назад

@BeerEngineerr 6 лет назад

Is this suitable for still photography especially with telephoto lens like a 150-600 mm ?

@taylorholt6970 6 лет назад

Is that tripod head compatible with your Sirui and Crane 2?

@thejasonhuo 7 лет назад

have been wanting this for a year or more already, can't seem to find it in australia. anyone have advice?

@eyalhalabi736 5 лет назад

what's the name of the music playing in the background??

@Studiorafaelb 4 года назад

I also had problems with my Manfrotto, it broke and I made a refund at amzon. This looks great for performing time-lapses during the event, without the need for a tripod.

@cedriclizotte5204 5 лет назад

Is this strong enough to handle a Nikon d750 + long lens?

@carlleducq7955 7 лет назад

Is that a Timelapse at 4.16? Looks dope if its merged with you at normal speed.

@SawnNify 7 лет назад

Does anyone know which video that 30% off squarespace subscription was on?

@ZimingXie 7 лет назад

Sirui just released an EP204 S monopod that's like a second gen of this model. You should check it out it's really awesome

@aprilandpaulphoto 7 лет назад

Good find... Main things seems to be the legs and the clamps I guess?

@ZimingXie 7 лет назад

Yes, and much lighter weight. I'm just curious if it can do a good enough job standing alone with a fluid head on.

@robertw9677 5 лет назад

Does the feet come with the monopod or bought separately?

@SnipairBelgium 6 лет назад

Hi there, you may need to check the instructions of your monopod, the lower section can be detached from the pod, and you'd get then a shorter platform that would pan and tilt from the base actually. by doing so you also win having this shorter platform and a standard monopod, using the extra top base and spike that comes with it. If it's not completely clear to you (forgive my english) have a look into this vid, it explains it very well. You seem to have the same pod, but the fiber version. /watch?v=jvf-UuCdeYg

@monstermayank 7 лет назад

Does it work well with a 5D mark 3?

@josephbohme7917 7 лет назад

The solution for the floppy feet is either adhesive velcro pad/ hook pair or magnets.

@AndyTurner773 7 лет назад

Is that the new 85mm Zeiss? How are you liking it?

@edphi 6 лет назад

@AndreLindo 7 лет назад

I use the benro Monopod, but would mind this one... Does it come with a video head? If it does, can I use benro's plates in it? or even switch to a benro video head? Thanks

@aprilandpaulphoto 7 лет назад

Doesn't come with a head. It has a 1/4 inch thread you could add a head on it. He uses this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LEWPMXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@DKBOOMZ 6 лет назад

he's using a MVH500AH in this video

@ShawnSwander 5 лет назад

maybe if you put magnets on the feet they wouldn't wiggle when the feet were up at least if there is any magnetic metal on the tripod.

@imnaugle 7 лет назад

So, I wonder if you can buy JUST the legs / base? Their website has some jacked-up English that I can't decipher :|

@nigeldias6771 4 года назад

Which model of the manfrotto fluid head is attached on the monopod?

@AshwinRamdin 3 года назад

I would like the same. Did you figure it out? I think in the beginning of the video he uses this one: Manfrotto MHXPRO-2W XPRO. Durign the weeding I think I saw the Manfrotto MVH500AH

@Lucas05J 7 лет назад

I want one of these so bad! Amazon has a cheaper version for $89, and offers it as a lightening deal for around 75ish. I'm afraid to go cheap on this though because with your review I know what i'm getting, with this contraption from amazon, that looks the same, I really don't know if it will measure up. Advice? :D :P

@justgaston 7 лет назад

I know I'm not the man himself ... but for what it's worth I would save and get something better that will lady you longer and you won't have to spend money replacing !

@josamu228 7 лет назад

I was like man, this monopod sounds crazy expensive, but it wasn't as bad as I thought

@mycop236 5 лет назад

@Tymbartek 6 лет назад

After this video I buy one and it was mistake. It's great but Benro works the same for me and it's lighter. But most important it cost less WITH FLUID HEAD ! Benro A48TDS4 - works awsome and NO floppy legs :)
