I got this for $40

I am experiencing the no. 3 point. I shoot twilight real estate. Imagine when you spend an hour to shoot the property only to find our some of your shots were blurry or moved. And I have to spend hours to fix those shots

Muy buen video. Me resultó muy útil tu experiencia con el "flipside". Decididamente no fue lo que más me convenció de esta mochila sino su diseño general, la distribución de los espacios entre el compartimento interno de cámara (superior al de la AW250) y el superior y, decididamente, la posibilidad de poder amarrar mi trípode Manfrotto 190go con los agarres exteriores ya que para mí hacerlo con los de los bolsillos laterales desequilibra el peso (tu propia experiencia fue también orientadora). Quiero consultarte sobre el cinturón inferior que es bastante voluminoso. Si no lo estas usando ¿lo dejas colgando a los lados o de algún modo se pueden ocultar?. Muchas Gracias por tu tiempo y saludos desde Argentina.

How is your 055 doing now in regards to the center column? My 190 carbon developed scratching up and down the column like yours, and it ended up developing notches in the column where the tightening thing (idk what to call it) digs into the carbon fiber. I changed it to the aluminum version(the rest is still carbon fiber, but the center column is aluminum) and it hasnt had a single issue since. Any update on yours?

Ridiculous 'review'. Reason #1 is just silly, if you want serious heavy duty, buy a 400 geared head for $1,000. Reason #2 shows that this guy does not understand how a detent mechanism works. Reason #3 indicates a faulty mechanism. Did he think about contacting Manfrotto? I have a 415 head and I emailed them and got a reply back almost immediately, clear, succinct and solved the problem.

What is the box legth inside diagonally? I want a Tuffy box to stow a carbine 38" OAL.

How well is the shoulder harness with no load lifter straps?

great review! thx!

You titled this video Tuffy Box for FJ Cruiser Review, but you spent over five minutes talking about the stuff in your box......not really telling us about the box. Things like the box's features, materials its built with, security, the side panels area, locking system, smoothness of drawer rails, proper fit inside the vehicle etc. I appreciate you showing the box, but the title led me to believe you were going to spend time describing the box and how well it works or doesn't work.

I’ve never experienced the movement issue once it’s all set and that was with a prime 300mm. And mine don’t squeak either. Try some grease!! However, for what it does, IT’S A CHEAP HEAD!!!! I don’t expect it to be entirely made of metal or feel like an expensive head It’s half the cost and more than a 410 so what do people expect. Is it a great head that I can 100% recommend? No. But for me it’s good enough. If I needed better I’d buy better.

Any one know how to attach the strap? Not clear in instructions

My Carbon 190 has done the same thing. I replaced the center column with the aluminum version 2 years ago (the rest is still carbon fiber) and it hasnt had any problems since. A bit of an odd solution but it worked for me!!

Hi. I'm considering buying this camera bag and have been watching numerous review videos to help make up my mind. I have to say, yours is not only the best video review of this bag, but the best video review of ANY bag (and, believe me, over the years I've watched hundreds). So I just want to say a huge thanks for your time and immaculate presentation. Cheers, mate.

Can it fit a 13 inch macbook air?

Seems like you're whining. The basic design of the pack is excellent for someone that wants a good camera / hiking backpack. How you pack your equipment is on you.

The ClickElite packs are all AMAZING! I have a few different sizes/styles. Thanks for the review on this one as I've seen it on Ebay recently. BTW - the zipper thumb holders are also zipper licks when you thread the ends into the hole. Really great for having it on a plane or in a crowded situation.

lol your not going to break helinox chairs :D

Your individual head is not good. Doesn’t mean all heads are created equal. A reviewer cannot carte Blanche state all heads will be the same. Return it or send for for repair.

Says 450 but in video says 350?

Yesterday I was looking at the xpro vs the 410. I went with the xpro bc of the lower price and nice levers. Last night I was using it with my P1000 to take pics of Saturn and Jupiter. The slop in the way the gear/lever/spring holds it is utter junk and very frustrating, especially at zoom. I exchanged it today for the 410, Night and Day difference. Don't buy the xpro, just go with the 410.

How tall are you?

Great, thanks for the warning! Subscribed...! I was just about to buy that for my tiny Leofoto Ranger 223CEX... Do you know of any other really small fluid head, that's not crummy?

Hi, what was the size of the laptop you put in?

Got a good lol from the softball gear. Never will understand softball.

Very helpful, thank you

Good review! Nothing against the Flipside 450 (I got one), but IMO the Flipside Trek is a value for money series so loading it with 26 pounds is a bit optimistic. Interesting test though. Also, about the Photo Sport BP 300 - it's actually possible to fit a tripod. A travel tripod will fit inside the pack. It slides down beside the photo compartment and its a feature that makes the Photo Sport BP 300 one of my favorite photo packs. The harness is kind of weak though when the pack is fully loaded.

So is there something better in this category? Thanks

I have never had any problems with it. I love it it is accurate and brilliant for photography

Photography is just a hobby for me, but when I'm on the road I carry my "cheap" Canon 1200D and also my MacBook Pro and the drawer system would give me peace of mind when I'm away from the vehicle.

I was about to buy one until i saw your video. Going for the 410jr. Thanks mate

Hi Jake, I noticed you did not really understand that the other metal in this head is in the gears. All the play you have introduced into the head gear system is due to the fact that you have used it for 3 months without lubrication. A tiny bit of white grease (Lubriplate) will solve your problem, keeping the gears running smoothly and not introducing excessive wear or play. Also, knowing the gears must be completely engaged after using the macro movement should have been learned the first time it happened. Simply make sure it didn't happen again. This only leaves your first point of the unit being made out of "plastic". Modern molded composite materials are not without their benefits and it is noted that you really did not have any criticisms other that the use of the word "cheap" or "plastic". 3 strikes, you're out. For the price, this is a very good unit. I use mine for Astronomy with a very heavy pair of large binoculars. Quick field-of-find, finite adjustment, accuracy, and stability are required.

A thought; Putting your keys, and or wallet in your back pack. Lose your pack or stolen......? You just may get seperated from your bag.

I just bought it. Even after this review. I don’t think this is how the head will be. I feel that it’s a fault with your one. I am surprised you couldn’t get a warranty repair within the warranty period. Sounds like you spoke to some AH who had a bad day. I have used Manfrotto for years and trust the stability. I hope you got sorted in the end. I’m sure it was not a global issue 🙏

I have lovely 804CR2 head

Excellent review. Will it fit a Canon 400mm f5.6 prime and a 7Dii

Man, you are a hero. If only every review on youtube is this good. Subscribed!

Thanksss, good review))

this is not a plastic head, wtf are you talking about ?

Packing that tripod on top of laptop... cmon that is not super protective bro :D

I hesitate between this or Fastpack Pro BP 250 AW III ? Can you help me ? Thanks a lot.

I am curious to know if there is some wasted space on the sides where those fascia plates are (one of them near your subwoofer). Is there storage space access there from the top? How close to the rear seat does the Tuffy box get? p.s. Sorry to ask this question years after the original post.

still got this for sale? lol

ça fait 4 ans que j'utilise cette rotule et je n'ai pas trois raisons de ne pas l'utiliser elle est perfectible, elle e est en plastique, elle est parfois énervante (pas la rotule! le système d'attache) mais je ne peut plus utiliser autre chose. alors il y a certainement mieux mais je préfère m'acheter une optique ou un trépied lourd ( www.reflexpro.fr/vanguard-trepied-auctus-plus-283-ct-p-1592.html )par exemple elle n'est pas parfaite mais elle est pratique

Thanks for the review. Can we keep a DSLR mounted with a telephoto lens mounted together.. just to understand whether to keep separate or can it be keep together.. please advise. I wanted to use Nikon d750 mounted with 200-500mm lens.

This is a great review. I like the way you broke down the different aspects of this bag, especially the Flipside section because this is the main reason I am looking at Flipside series. I have had a Lowepro sling bag for over a decade but am looking at 2-strap alternatives, I want easy access to my a equipment. Thank You.

amazing!! 11kg is a lot to carry though. Great review

Automatic nogo ! Jesus christ , nerd police are on their way . They have anti OCD spray so be worried.

Thank you, this the one from a few option that I am considering to buy, the only reason I don't like it is it can't work with the L-Plate because I don't my Camera hanging on the side when I shoot vertical. Now it's more reason to think about.

Hello, I also have the FJ. Would you mind posting a link to this tuffy box. Thanks
