[@bossitlive]

Think Media hey Sean, I’m using a typical iPhone compatible tripod from Amazon (the silver ones). They work ok for now but as I grow I want to upgrade.

[@Dejadiaries]

Definitely need a mini desk tripod now

[@teatimeandgiggles]

DIY tripod

[@HARPREETSINGH-yj8xd]

Great sir . I learn a lot from ur videos😊😊😊 Luv from India

[@GlitterFallout]

I was only just introduced to your channel, and I've been binge-watching ever since. THANK YOU for breaking down all of these topics into easily-digestible bites that anyone (even me) can understand. (Also, as I was just looking at tabletop tripods online this week, this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time!)

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glitter Fallout Pumped to be connected and glad you’re here. Hope your holidays are going well! 👊🏼💯

[@Hectoralejandroguerrero]

Sean, hear this.... You are incredible bro. Thank you for investing your time into each of us by helping us in our walk. Much love bro!

[@kDaniielle]

Growing a channel in 2018/2019 is not easy but with your help and tips you have seriously gave me the best start! I barely started in Sept and after only 2 videos I got sent products (in my niche) to review! Also, I learned how to optimize my tags like you recogmend I get any where from 600-800 views & I haven't even told my friends or family, this is all just things I have learned.! Thank you! I cant wait to see where my channel is in a year from now!

[@PickUps]

I would have appreciated how low they go, opposed to how high they go, hence the entire purpose of getting a tiny tripod

[@fatheringautism]

I use the Sirui mini tripod as a vlogging grip and a table top tripod. It’s fantastic.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

FatheringAutism thanks for the rec - will check it out 👊🏼💯

[@jaynw2398]

Me too

[@MayenMusic]

Just got the Joby 5k, and I'm really happy with it. The cool thing for me is the flexibility of it. You also get a good shoulder workout with it when vlogging lol.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Mayen Music love the 5K - so solid and well built 👊🏼💯

[@ELANESVLOGS]

I have a joby 1k for my sony hx80 for vlogging

[@OldSneelock]

I use a cheap Mafrotto for most work with my Canon 60D just because it holds the weight and is still portable for use around the shop. For the Sony and Nikon Point and shoots I have an old aluminum tripod left over from the 70's. It is lightweight and won't break my heart if it gets broken or lost while taking location shots in factory environments. I also use a Gorrilla knockoff from WalMart on location. For smart phone work I have a suction mount for the dashboard and window mounts in the truck. Sticking it on the back window gives a passenger POV for action shots. For bench work I have a couple homemade ceiling mount gantry arms for taking overhead shots. Much better than a short tripod because bench operations create a lot of vibration. I just got a GoPro knockoff but I'm not wild about the effect it has for upclose work. Chest mounts are ocluded by my hands and arms during shooting. Head mounts mean I have to hold my head still. I'm staying with tripods.

[@TheBeardedOutdoorsman18]

I love your channel. It has truly inspired me and kept me motivated with my channel. Thank you. As someone that recently started out, I have a smaller/cheaper version of the gorilla tripod.

[@rosierichh4394]

I swear you have the Best tips and tools!!💕👏👏 I share your channel with "EVERYONE" I know and meet!! Love it!!🙌👍👏👏💕💕💃💃

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Rosie Rome thank you Rosie! 👊🏼💯

[@MichelleCoxPhotography]

I need one of these so this was a perfect video for me this week!! thanks!! :)

[@DocRock]

I like to use high hats with an extended pole. High hat are heavy so hella sturdy

[@mlevesque33]

Not sure if you talked about it before but talk about the softwares you're currently using (editing and live streaming). I started using CyberLink PowerDirector 17.

[@OneGuitarist]

Great video. My desktop tripod is a Manfrotto Pixi, but it’s too low for a good view. Since it’s low, I have to angle it up to me, which isn’t a great shot and gets too much ceiling, vs something eye level that gets a good view of your background. Thanks for the great review. I’ll be looking into some of these to replace the old Velban I also have.

[@flowersafeheart]

Thank you for your attention to detail and clear communication! Learning lots from your videos! This breaks the gear decisions down into pros and cons I hadn't thought about.

[@lothillsolutions]

Sean, another great video. I use the UBeesize phone tripod rig with the added arms for lighting and mic. A good little setup that doesn't break the bank. Super flexible, but like the Joby can be a bit short.

[@jaycorrao6648]

The Bonfoto tabletop B72M is super versatile for MTF or Phone use!

[@PatienceIsKey.1]

I had my 5k hanging off the side of a bridge, sketchy af, but worked excellent!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

A G 😬

[@shahan3366]

Bro love your videos

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks!

[@lilyann4142]

Ya I really need a smaller tripod... I want to start vlogging soon😄 and I need a hand held tripod:-):-)

[@THETONESHOW]

I have been using the Newer table top tripod for a while now with my Canon 80D and it has been great for recording from my desk. It’s heavier than you expect but really solid with my 80D on top of it. I actually leave it on the tripod for the most part don’t fear it knocking over. For the price I consider it a good buy.

[@kmastudio4436]

Yess , ireally confuse about choosing tripod, for put on the table (desk) but not on the coffee table like u do

[@bossitlive]

Thanks Sean. This info is gold for me as someone who is so specific about sitting perfectly in frame lol. But seriously, this is great. Thanks again!

[@UnauthorizedCreations]

The RetiCam tripod would be perfect for when I'm doing cooking content.

[@apislapis]

I use the SmallRig Mini Tripod Tabletop Tripod with or without the 360° Ball Head and the Velbon Tripod EX-mini (which sadly does not tilt to do porttrait shots but it's ok for landscape) with sliding centre support to get lower. Thanks for your tips Mr C.

[@marcdekker1740]

Sean ! I'm going to run in the mornings around the holidays. Thanks for the tips on instragram. Rise and grind 😀 and merry Christmas.

[@peachiegrinsxd]

Do you any recommendations for table tripods that film the desk? Like straight down onto your hands?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Anna Kim check out www.arkon.com

[@SpringloftStudio]

@@ThinkMediaTV Oh! I need this too!

[@LegallyBlindGeek]

I purchase the 3K version of the gorilla pod from Amazon after watching. Attached the K3 to the 12.9 iPad pro I use as a monitor for the movie pro remote app. One of the legs of the k3 Gorilla pod popped out of the socket connection point of the tripod. Much to my dismay, this weak point of the K3 allowed the 12.9 iPad crash onto the tabletop. Seller never responded to my concerns posted to the amazon seller page. I just wanted to share, thanks for everything, be well, stay safe.

[@sophiefxlls28]

Thank you for the advice! My sister wants a tabletop tripod, so I bought one of them from the video for her.

[@Jerrysadlerscott]

Great tips Sean, thanks. I use a Benro PP1, it's small and compact and ideal for either table top or as a Walk and Talk. Overall height is approx 16cm (6 1/2 in) plus camera or Smartphone holder. It has a lockable ball joint to enable landscape or portrait or micro shots and the legs are trianguar and, closed together, create a handy grip for out and about shooting videos or selfies etc. I got it off Ebay for about £17, guess that would be close to $18/19. 👍😃

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Jez Sadler thanks for the rec Jez - will check it out! 💯

[@ivysparling3685]

I use the joby

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Ben Squishies Joby is Great!

[@dirks4093]

Of the four tripods I own, two of them are shown here. (Neewer Mini & Joby 5K) All of them shown here look good quality. Though really bad experience with Joby's customer service - not good.

[@GSVideo.]

Nice Tripod is good

[@fazervlogs5490]

Oh and you helped me a lot with the tech reviews

[@noahsduck4109]

Currently I'm using an Amazon basics tripod and a suntan 5555dlx tripod I got on sale for $10 at best buy with the canon sl2! I really need to get a microphone now but I'm all out of money

[@HARPREETSINGH-yj8xd]

Great sir . I learn a lot from ur videos😊😊😊 Luv from India

[@ZenGeekDad]

How is that ball head level on the Neewer supposed to work? Its plane sits in line with the direction of gravity, as opposed to being 90° to it. The only way I can picture it working, is if you flip the ballhead 90°, so that the plane of the level is perpendicular to the gravity vector, and then level the tripod via leg length fine-tuning, the revert the ballhead to upright. But then the legs are level, and the ballhead can still take any tilt. So, you're back to setting ballhead levelness by eye, without a working level. (Oh, and my hypothetical use mode would require that the flipped position of the ballhead be machined exactly true at 90°.) So, ... what am I missing?

[@ChessMasteryOfficial]

*If you cannot be a poet, be the poem!*

[@ThinkMediaTV]

true. true.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Perfect, I'm looking into getting a tripod soon

[@SpringloftStudio]

I read that Gorillapod 5K is with aluminium leg sockets and balls, can you confirm if this is true on your 5K? Appreciate it! (Can't trust the only description online, and at the shop it's coated as if it's plastic... no one seems able to confirm) I desperately need to replace my 3K. Avoid the 3K by all means due to its plastic legs, lots of reports and mine too, crack within months or weeks, and the leg segments falling out. It's horrifying when you have your cam grabbing on a pole high up, even I just put a M50 on it. I used to have a DSLR version which is silvery metal legs, heavy duty like 5K which hold 5Dm2, can't remember which version, but it served me well for years until I abused it so much the rubber rings deteriorating and leaving dirt marks everywhere. So you're right, it definitely worth the premium but for the 5K if it's metal. In fact the price is already cheaper than 10+ years ago! 😱😱😱Grab at least one first before adding more other little tripods! I'm a tripod junkie and Gorillapods really deliver and replace what I need with other different few little tripods. If I'm only allowed to chuck one in my bag, surely the Gorillapod! In use, actually, you can stack some boxes or books to raise the gorilla pod, as long as you're not knocking it down. I often grab it on the back of chair or handrail, anything, so height is seldom a problem for me. It goes really low on table that lots other tripods cannot. Change to a Sirui ball head which is relatively cheap but surprisingly great quality than my old Gitzo ballheads, you can go any weird angles. Great for close up macro shots. (I always give away the Joby ballheads if I'm forced to buy the set) You can also flip the gorilla pod upside down or sideway, using its legs as a 3rd hand holding objects that you're shooting, which is very handy as I always shoot alone.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Springloft Studio yes! The price actually seems insane at first - but once you get your hands on it - it makes sense. It’s world class!

[@raheem_4689]

Thanks Sean Nice video bro 👍😍❤

[@ChoPlaysPianoPiano]

Very nice info 👍

[@robynlifestyleforfun8326]

you seem to know a lot about tripods and how to use them probably and I like that about you

[@SushantClasses]

Very informative video for all viewers.

[@JEAraman]

Would I be able to swap out the ballhead on the Neewer tripod with say, a Manfrotto head?

[@davidrutledge6215]

The RetiCAM is retailing for $106.84 here on amazon.ca. Maybe it’s better not to recommend products if they are just going to inflate. Fortunately, the NEEWER TRAVEL TABLETOP is a better deal at $49.99 and seems to generate good comments.

[@UltraHuman]

Podcasts/Skype interview accessory: blue ball mic tripod! I know you have one!

[@ENTERTAINMENTSOCIAL]

Thanks alot love this channel

[@TheMdtariq]

Can anyone please share the detail on the holder of the mobile on the tripod ?

[@prodelhidrivers]

Awesome video

[@nq3052]

nice Canadian tuxedo guy

[@SeasonEnds]

Appreciate the video. I bought the Reticam but now I'm realizing the quick release won't fit when the M50 is plugged into wall power. The charger that connects through the battery door gets in the way of quick-release locking arm. Anyone know of an offset that will allow the camera to sit further away from the plate?

[@SeasonEnds]

I was able to get the tripod to work by turning the tripod around and unscrewing the adjustable arm so it wasn't in the frame. Unfortunately, this set up doesn't hold the M50 and the Sigma F1.4 - You also need a deep desk in order to get it to sit on your desk. I ended up zip tying it to my monitor stand. I also find that the tripod head won't let the camera sit perfectly level. If I didn't want this to sit over the top of my monitor and had a different lens, this stand would be totally good.

[@pbbananabandit5562]

[@Puttugamer]

Sir why u hve less views... Please reply... Love frm INDIA

[@ellierami1268]

could the neewer tripod be used for phones too or just cameras

[@linusnguyen727]

Thank you for such great content. I'm trying to put together a setup that is somewhat multi-functional as I invest and build from there. I'm search for a solution to use the gorillapod to hold a standard mic clip (preferably a mic housed in a shock mount, which was a wonderful gift given to me that I want to make good use of). The threading is similar to a standard mic clip, or mic stand. How did you outfit gorillpod to hold a standard mic clip? What adapters would I need to get? And this would serve as a desktop mic stand, as well as transformed into my videoing station as well. Would the gorillapod or any of the stands you mentioned in this video be good recommendations for this multi-purpose use? Thanks for your help.

[@wilhelmkluver5580]

[@lilyvalley5389]

For a bit more sprung for new. Lol. 😂 I would love those. I don't broadcast and have an Slr from HSN few yrs ago hardly use and doubt it can go Wi-Fi communicate with Hp Chromebook when get Wi-Fi, or can it ? I no longer have a Dell laptop or any good mice one. I can afford. Owe them. Stolen brand new, bundle bag, drivers, etc. Ruines my credit to withSpribt Broadband as well. I like those, but 30 is resting mark UPN I so hate that. They small shoukd be 15. Asking like full size one. I got one for camera I had ages ago on sale I think at Kmart maybe. Still have it, but bit made for cell. Lol 😂 I would live all those last 3 or so. Not 1st one. I thought like thise lick ones, but is what have in regular tripod. I want quickly easily adjust put away Luke also thise bendable that go lower. Omg. 😱 Gotta invest in those sometime next YR. I have other stuff rn. But this is awesome review. Not going to find better & is what I was wondering a little while back on which is best & price. I will jot down in a bit so I can make sure look for them. Hopefully on lower saker half price. $15 for each be great., 😂 though I doubt it.
