This Tripod is FAST! SmallRig Freeblazer AD80 

The setup and pack-down speed sold me on this one, mate. Brilliant review as always. Best.

You guys are fun! Love quick release.

Excellent representation of tripod. I love the way you put it front and center.

I needed the panning info to make sure I was operating it correctly. Thank you!

I love to hear you laugh out loud laughing makes people happy

The Arri Shirt, love it. Honestly a tripod is one of the most important tools. The standard /ronin plate thingy is very smart.

Great video. Best review for this tripod I have seen yet. Sold!

Great Job. I want this tripod. Thanks!

thank you for the in-depth review. the Best.

This was a great one! You guys, hahah! But good review and tripod looks nice - My one is a right old lump, so might need to look at this one!

That was fun. A lot of reviewers forget to mention that the sticks and the head have different weight limits. This becomes important if you want to remove the head to attach a jib or something.

I use mine for still photography. Very stable and not uncomfortably heavy. No regrets buying it.

Nice review - picked one up for around £180 on black friday. Absolutely brilliant for the price.

Excellent tripod review!Thanks a lot！！👍👍

I got an eos m from a camera fanatic, who recently passed RIP Ricky Thompson, a year ago today 🙏. I' m inspired gonna train my youngblood with Eos M, SX50, HS Weebill s with follow focus, & last but not least Your innovative Lens flap. Tingalingaling my Bruddah new sub, keep on keeping on 🔥

The only issues for me are no PT drag adjustments and variable counterbalance on this head, but the sticks look fantastic. If I were going to build a budget tripod I would pick up these SmallRig legs and a Sirui BCH-20(22lb load) for a video head. That would give one an amazing PT drag & counterbalanced head along with some fast to set up sticks. For around $580, and one would have a budget variant of a Sachtler flowtech75 system which start around $3200 for a head with a 17.5lb load. That's under 1/5th the price.

Great review, going to get one to become my new main tripod/use for conferences and my more cumbersome manfrotto will become my b-cam tripod for static interivew b-cam shots, using my new FX30 which you had a small part in me deciding to purchase after your post about having a b-cam just in case things go wrong (sold my 6K Pro last week which I was hardly using and looking forward to allowing to having autofocus on both cams that should match up nicely in post - A7siii and FX30).

What’s the big difference from the ad80 and ad100

In your community post, you refer to this video as a product review video so I will judge it based on your words. I have to say, this video is basically a glorified ad, right from the start. From what I can tell, your "old" tripod is Kenro Twin Tube that weights 4.5kg in comparison to Smallrig's 4.4 kg. Even the size is very comparable, so evident from just simply looking at the tripods side by side. This tripod is targeted towards enthusiasts or semi-professionals, even thought Smallrig wants this to be a pro tripod. So it would have been nice if you sent the time talking about user experience and real life pros and cons, rather than spend 3 minute demonstrating how to use a 1/4 screw hole. The speed test was fun and effective in demonstrating the real advantage of the tripod but could have been cut shorter. And then at the end, you mention the height difference between your "old" tripod and how Smallrig's is soo much taller. Smallrig (191), Kenro (185). Massive difference once again. I know that you are a nice guy and you are new to this format of video perhaps. However, I hope you don't fall into trying to please manufacturers so that your channel is supported. Manufacturers should operate in our grace, not the other way around. I like smallrig personally, I have many products that I bought from them and use. Even so, rather than a glorified ad to push products to consumers, I would have loved to learn real things about this tripod. Does this have a screw to lock the fluid head in place to the base? Can I tighten the latches if it gets loose? Does it have anything to keep the sticks together when folded so it doesn't flap around? etc.

Oh, lol, got distracted writing my other comment - at 15 seconds, what was that lovely sequence shot on?

🔥🔥🔥

Cool video, curious if you found any cons. It's amazing but. I am asuming that at its highest and lowest height, it is easy level. Is it a challenge leveling it between its highest and lowest points?

all im going to say that inflation sucks smh... something thats really suppose to be valued at $150, maybe 169.99, is now $250. Breaks my heart everytime

That tripod looks the biz! £250 is the pinch point for me because I'm cheap! lol

Another video i learned from, and i no u said work with what i habe but everytime i see u with different cameras i feel likw im addicted to cameras now smh. I went a bought a sony zve-1 and your voice came in my head ansd said use what i have, i love it but not more than my fx30 because after a 1 and half it stops, i want that cinema camera you have and would love to buy one you built just to have specifically made from u, i feel u will get picked up by a major company and i feel they will pay u not make adjustments to cameras because that adapter u made for sony and canon i dream about having that camera u made, u are gifted to wake up and think of something as creative ad that, didnt mean to talk u to death, on my way to church and after i pray i check for a video from you have a great sunday u and your family from jovan sir

Nice! I actually need a new tripod. Is this one easy to lug around on shoots?

You can't really compare these two as one twisting knob to clamp ones. But funny regardless. The last tripod i had was twisting knobs before i got the small rig free flow tripod.

I literally a few seconds ago just purchased a Magnus VT-4000 for $80 had I am this video I may have waited.... I did get a good deal on the Magnus though.... I hope it is good.

Yeah I own two of those 🙂

I love mine, but I only have 1/2 I got the Head on Sale.

Will the m-lite sunhood and other accesories still be available after the m-lite is discontinued?

I need a quick light tripod

.......Wonders who did the whistling of Ennio Morricone's classic on the opener? lol

Not exciting for some, but for me it is lool! That system seems pretty great, my tripod is a PITA bro. Can you take the head off or is it fixed?

❤😍

What is that west you are wearing in the video? Is it film related to make work easyer to attach stuff with valcro. What is it whats it do how is it called??

Hows build quality with materials? Lot of plastic or carbon fiber? How reliable locks seem to be? Just scouting out for tripod....

Plan on using it for motorsports, air shows etc. Is it stable when using a telephoto lens?

😂😂 lightning speed

wow

One thing I can't understand, why don't people review tripod lowest height. So this tripod goes to 87 cm, that is if you have someone sitting in a couch for and interview??? But hey it can film at 191cm. Tell me how many time do you have to film something/someone at 191 cm, compared to people sitting in a couch.
