Best value tripod ever ? ZOMEI Q666 Proline Tripod with Ball Head Review (link updated)

[@54Howie]

Only thing you didn't cover is for low shots you can reverse the top tube so you can have the camera close to the ground if needed

[@AwesomeToysTV]

Yeah, we realised that after we published this. Hahaha..will remember to review that if we have a new version of the tripod. Thanks for watching.

[@MarkFromEastleigh]

Shame it doesn't come with a handle for panning

[@greatbaracuda6164]

what paint can you recommend so i can cover the logo on the handle

[@BLNKT.]

They have so many models and no information on what the differences are ahh. Can you explain to me what the difference between the knobs are on the ball head? They just seem to both loosen the ball head. All I can see is that one has numbers and one doesn't

[@AwesomeToysTV]

One is to loosen the ball head so you can move the camera any angle you want. The other is to let you on left or right

[@BLNKT.]

@@AwesomeToysTV Thanks for the reply! It has 3 knobs though. I know one is related to allowing you to move left and right. But the other two are for the ball head right? In the video you said one is for unlocking and the other is for unlocking more precise but you didn't explain anything else. I've been messing around with mine but I can't figure it out.

[@AwesomeToysTV]

BLNKT When you unlock the main locking knob on a simple ballhead without a friction drag knob, the ball and plate are free to move. If you aren't holding your camera carefully, that means the camera and lens are free to move as well. They could easy flop down, hitting the stops or limits of the ball's motion. But with a friction knob on the ballhead dialed in to the right setting for the weight of your camera and lens, when you unlock the main locking knob, there is still some small gripping force on the ball. It requires just a light but deliberate force to move the camera's position. If the friction is set just right, you can move the camera to any desired position, let go of the camera, and it won't shift, even without locking down the main knob. Of course, you should lock the position tight by tightening the main knob.

Whats the difference between this and zomei z688?

[@drbilalnasirzargar702]

I also brought this triple, it's very cool

[@AwesomeToysTV]

It’s affordable and very sturdy, I’m still using it till now.

Many thanks for the help with the monopod setup!

Manfrotto compact advanced tripod mu, zomei q666 mı yoksa zomei q555 mi daha iyi sağlamlık açısından???

[@srinivaasansundar7406]

what is the max load it can handle as a tripod and as a monopod, please provide some info thanks....

[@AwesomeToysTV]

srinivaasan sundar hi there, it's about 10kg capacity, should suffice for any camera, video-camera, DSLR, mirrorless, or point & shoot camera. Use the spring-loaded hook in the center-column of the tripod to add extra weight for maximum stability.

[@srinivaasansundar7406]

@@AwesomeToysTV thanks as a monopod how much it can hold?

[@AwesomeToysTV]

srinivaasan sundar Actually the frame and materials used is quite sturdy. Similar to Manfroto grades. As for Monopod, it’s more of how much you can carry around all your equipments as you’ll get tired quick as monopod you don’t really just put them on stationary right? For my list I use a Canon 760D, a portable 160LED mount on top and a Rode Shotgun mic for my video filming.

[@TsheringTenchiDorjiphotos]

What is the max load it can take

[@junsimons]

Apparently, it can support up to 33 lbs.

[@johnrenzcaballero4308]

Great Review, May I ask what is the other thing standing in the table?

[@AwesomeToysTV]

That’s a monopod with a leg stand, useful for event coverage and on the move shots.

[@johnrenzcaballero4308]

@@AwesomeToysTV what brand of monopod? I like to know if monopod like that is helpful in diecast photography.

[@AwesomeToysTV]

When you mentioned Die-Cast photography. Means miniature cars? Close up shots? If it’s for close up shots, better get the tripod to prevent moving. Monopods are good if you’re travelling or on the move and need quick shots of the events. Really need a steady hand to control them. But this Zomei comes with a monopod already by just dismantling one of the legs.

[@johnrenzcaballero4308]

@@AwesomeToysTV Yes Mini Car like Tomica 1/64 that scale. I see Thanks so much.

[@chrishay5442]

Are you able to attach the ball head to the tripod without the centre column? So you can get super low?

[@AwesomeToysTV]

Don't think so mate

[@shnilhovav3527]

Thanks a lot , wonderful review :)

[@AwesomeToysTV]

Hey thanks for watching ! we hope the review helped and yes, we are still using this tripod!

[@Mochilv]

Great review!

[@AwesomeToysTV]

Braulio López Valverde thanks for watching. We have a great addition part to the tripod to achieve simple Flat Lay shots. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipWsiYqtidqplZI

[@ginaheaton2203]

I have this tripod. It’s great.

[@AwesomeToysTV]

Right!? #highfive

[@paulbaker9277]

Good review as I am looking at one of these however ...it seems to me a lot of mucking around for a mono pod when you can just lower one leg in a pinch , if you need to.

[@AwesomeToysTV]

Thanks for watching and we really are still very happy with this tripod! It's our main tripod that we use in all our filming nowadays

[@tog2842]

I think it's a useful feature to reduce weight and bulk by only taking the monopod on a shoot.

[@AwesomeToysTV]

We do a lot of outdoor and event filming. So this size just suits our needs. I’ve used monopods before, they are great for photo shoots but hard for video panning, time lapse and interviews. Still need a steady tripod to do that.
