Thanks for this Nathan. It's just the sort of thing I need to replace the old modified surveyors tripod I've been using on the range for more than 20 years that weighs almost as much as my wheelchair. Please keep doing what you do (especially to foxes and cats.
Thanks Nathan, the new tripod came today! It only took 3 days, that's pretty good I think. It is so nice and works perfectly as you said it would. On a side note I am left handed an it is fine, no worries at all to work it. I would 100% recommend this tripod to anyone. It's plenty high enough as well, I'm about 5.9 feet tall and it's way bigger than I need. Thanks again.
I have used a few tripods and looking at the design and features of this unit, you have honestly covered all the short comings of all the other units I have used and own. Absolutely bloody masterpiece mate, well done
I have purchased several my self some of the ones that work the best get heavy quick I have used single stick double stick tripod screw on rest lay on rest and clamps the clamps are nice but add weight
Thank you for sharing experiences and knowledge. Excellent the tripod Sunwayfoto EGE of the OUTBACK. I like tripods, I currently use Really Right Stuff Anvil-30 ARC ballhead on my Leofoto LM-363C tripod. Regards
Love the new tripod, just thinking with your haz tape for reflection to help locate it. Have you thought of a air tag? Just an idea, don't know how they would go when out of phone service though.
A huge amount of where I'm at is no service unfortunately. That and the tape is handy at shorter range in the head light too. Great idea though with an air tag.
What other invasive predators exist in Australia, aside from the ones you deal with? What do you think of the rumors of panthers or cougar sightings, is there any evidence for big cats like that living wild in Australia?
@@MyChannel-b5f I run the IB-65 ball head on my tripod, swapped it for a RRS BH40 great piece of kit much easier than faffing about with 2 or 3 different knobs, might be worth you selling it as a separate unit, they’re becoming popular!?
Hi I'm just 2metres tall will they have enough adjustment as at the moment I am using a surveyor's tripod as that was the only thing high enough for me and it does not take long to get very heavy quick
Depends on the location, but it's roughly and additional $80 for international postage. If you email me an address I can see if that's accurate for you though. I'm not out to make money on postage and costs do vary.
Actually, I have a fella on my Patreon who just got his today, and he's left handed. He's very happy with it so it seems they work alright. Good to confirm that as I had no idea.
I'm a shooter - 35mm SLRs 😉 I was also a very serious hand-gunner. Gitzo are my tri-pods of choice for the SLRs but I can ever so easily recognise the amazing feature set of this tri-pod. Am pondering a new air-based shooting system to deal with hares and mistletow and this tri-pod just reeks of appeal. Great presentation.
Looks bloody good mate, very competitively priced for the specs too. Know a few mates currently in the market for tripods so I'll tell them to give these a look 👍👍
I have a few questions related to cold weather use. Do the feet have ice spikes? Do the legs stick or bind while being extended/collapsed in wet weather below freezing? (Ice buildup on porous materials) Do the legs bend outwards when setting the tripod up through crusty snow? This question is hard to describe to those who have never experienced this particular scenario. As the legs puncture the snow crust before settling on what ground is below (10 cm or more), the holes in the snow crust will be of a lower diameter than the final diameter leg spread at ground level causing the legs to bend or bind on the snow crust. Rigid and secure leg joints are a must. Obviously the reason for these questions relate to the mostly snow and icy weather during our coyote season.
