[@mtbboy1993]

1:06 I saw a review where the guy compared the construction of both tripods, he went really in depth. Conclusion was Peak design has a better construction, as the centre part the centre column goes trough is plastic on the Ulanzi, but it's metal on the Peak Design, but has a plastic part in there too, but just a bushing, so still metal for the main part. So I'm not regretting getting the Peak Design Alu on sale I think I got it for 40% off or something. Got to love sales. But Peak design offers a universal head, so you can mount any head you want. I will eventually do that.

[@darrenlam4189]

You forgot to mention two of the biggest upgrades to the V2: 1. The plates are infinitely smoother to clip in and remove compared to V1 2. The V2 is compatible with almost all square QR plates from most major companies (PD, PGY, Arca, etc) My only concern for the V2 is how durable to little locking cable is on it. It looks like a similar cable used by the PD attachment points, but we all know how the V1 and V3s could actually fail at a decent rate.

[@Taudris]

The locking cable doesn't carry much of a load, though. It's just there to keep the metal bar attached and help you gauge which slot to put it into for that particular strap. Hopefully that means it won't be a problem. Very clever system.

[@Kaiu24]

So my question to this is if you can answer is if the F38 will accept the Peak Design Dual plate?

[@letoxicm8930]

bought the falcam v2...it's pretty disappointment. The cable used for clamping is so flimsy it made clamping extremely annoying. On top of that, the rubber anti-slip below needs to be positioned properly otherwise the clamping will uneven. So, unfortunately while the peak design's has its flaws, it is still a better clip.

[@koolaidpapi7674]

Yeah i love the F38 /F22 system it’s crazy that peak design dropped the ball and didn’t build out a eco system they just stopped making products either way even if they did it would be outrageously priced

[@MerlinVisuals]

Ulanzi fixed all the problems with switching camera gear. I now have one plate mounted on my camera and that goes onto everything: Backpack, Tripod, Gimbal and even the Tripod from my Gimbal has a Ulanzi quick release plate so I can take that off without screwing and it also fits on the camera plate. If you are looking for a all in one solution - this is it.

[@alexandertaylor6534]

Just got a mirrorless and have been trying to figure out which system to go with. People initially recommended PD to me but I discovered F38 thanks to your videos and this system makes more sense in every way. Cheaper, lighter, sleeker design, the F38 has a more efficient mechanism that's also easier to use both in terms of moving the clip to/from backpacks and belts, as well as everyday usage when clipping and unclipping the camera from the base. Great video, thanks for showing us every aspect of what you were talking about in practice. Now to figure out which strap system to go with...

[@floof_ball2588]

my only concern about his tripod recommendation is the customer service seems horrendous from other people's videos. Thats why I want to go full PD. I am still undecided

[@jamesgamerguy3]

i got the tripod when it was first announce, i abuse tf outa it. never had an issue other than the fact that it comes with a screw in ball head instead of the f38 ball, the only recently came out with the f38 head and it is not included with the carbon fiber tripod for whatevr reason @@floof_ball2588

[@jamesgamerguy3]

ive used both. the firmness of the f38 alone is worth the investment. all the pd stuff feels loose and janky , like it works and its meant to be not so firm , but it feels expensively cheap, the f38 stuff legit feels welded on when you use it. like im sure my camera or lens would break way before the mount would fail. thats how tough the lock feels on my rs3 stabiliser

[@basicgamer9831]

This is awesome, can't wait for it to be available on amazon!

[@shALKE]

so deep into this f38 system because they sponsored you lol

[@DavidManningvlog]

Was deep even before they reached out! And they've never sponsored a video on the channel, just affiliate links. Try a few pieces of their gear and you'll understand why I switched my entire system👍

[@JoshuaPeterson_yt]

I ordered 2 of these a week ago. Was wondering when we would see videos about it. Ulanzi is really knocking it out of the park lately.

[@ArgoFowl]

great vid man, I was googling a lot of questions that you answered here

[@ytwatcher6020]

Peak design is solid. This V2 relies on a stretchable material that only lasts 3 years before it needs replacement.

[@firpofutbol]

I'm deep in the Falcam system but didn't know about this product. I was literally on the same boat as you were when it came to the backpack mount - preferred the peak design over the old falcam mount. Now selling my Peak Deisgn stuff ASAP and getting this thing. So stoked.

[@inedex]

Ulanzi released it couple of weeks ago. I discovered the clip couple of days ago while browsing their web store. I tried to search for KZbin reviews and there was literally one. So happy to fully leverage Falcam now as I was considering PD which is too overpriced.

[@mtbboy1993]

8:47 Interesting mount. I like the locking mechanism. That's simple and secure.But my concern is the strings you wrap behind the straps.

[@ClaudioAFC]

Have you tried the Pgytech Snaplock? Love it. Doesn't move even after so much use.

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

My new Falcam Backpack clip arrives tomorrow. You and Mark Bennett are costing me a fortune. 😂 Seriously, great video. Thanks for this. I was looking for a solution to carrying my camera. All the best!

[@shawnchenco]

Love my Peak Design stuff! I am not thr biggest fan of Ulanzi but I am happy there is new innovations and competition. More cool stuff for everyone!! But ya not switching, QR is great but i prefer arca swiss compatibility. 👍

[@cowanphotograf]

I just ordered the falcam v2 with only $5usd delivery to New Zealand , thank you

[@shaunng8781]

Just ordered this yesterday! I was having the same problem with the pointy things hurting my arm so I’m very happy they fixed it

[@Webpromotions]

I had the peak design clip and it kept coming loose. So much so that it went in the bin as i couldn't trust it. Instead I also bought the ulanzi system, f38 and haven't looked back. Its brilliant.

[@SteveGong]

That's an ingenious design. Very impressed.

[@donnawetter1513]

This looks even more compact than the PGYTECH Bettle, still not sure how I fell about the clamp mechanism though.

[@angelocajipe7617]

my thumbs were always hurting from the thumb screws of PD, i ended up using the hex screws instead with the allen key be it wearing in my belt or in a back-pack clip. Will also be testing the falcam v2 backpack clip if it's also comfy enough using with the belt 👍

[@mtbboy1993]

7:11I was always weary about those strap clips coming loose, and camera smashing to the ground. But good to see it has a lock 10:02. But he thumb screws could be replaced with regular hex bolts I guess, you just have to match the thread pitch and head. Add some Loctite 243 to keep it secure for longer. 10:05 I guess it's made to be tricky to unlock so it won't happen by accidentally bumping it.

[@PortugalCarp]

Among other things from them, I got their F38 Quick Release For Camera Shoulder Strap V2 as, unlike the V1 one, it takes other quick release things like the Ellie PD Universal L-Bracket by 3 Legged Things.

[@thethirdrailchannel]

I started with Arca but tried the F38 and fell in love (well, not really). Then I found out the F38 base fits the Arca plate. Now I have several F38 and F22 systems. It *DOES* get expensive.

[@ciba20]

Arca standard is 38 mm, F38 based on this. NATO rail standard is 22 mm, F22 based on this. Manfrotto standard is 50 mm, F50 based on this.

[@massimopraga4476]

Hi David. Is the Peak Design standard plate fully compatible with the Falcam Backpack Clip V2?

[@paulg3388]

I’m obsessed with the F38 system and absolutely everything I have uses it from tripod to the Ulanzi tree system etc etc and I’ll never swap. Bit like Apple I’m deep in the ecosystem !! Lol

[@demojoys]

ok, sick video but DAMN holy organized wall behind you. Love it

[@tiemji]

It's crazy how peak design did not complete the ecosystem. Their gear was good but I switched to another one

[@joshuadanger904]

What’s your thoughts on the cable that’s holding that all together? That made me really nervous and is the only reason I haven’t ordered one yet.

[@demiqshots]

I've been using the V1 Falcam clip for 2 years now and my issue was the same with the rubbing/uncomfortable build of the backpack clip but the ecosystem is so good, this updated version looks way better and I'll have to get my hands on that!

[@JPGam1ng]

Dam I just bought the Peak design, am looking for quick release system and I just found it .thanks to this vídeo!!

[@DrummaBoy202]

The way he placed that camera face down without the lense cap

[@PaulFeinberg]

Dang it man I just bought more F38 / Peak design plates for this reason!! lol 😂 Now I want the new backpack strap and go back to using just the normal F38 plates! My F38 tripod comes in soon!! Excited! Great video as always! #loveyourcreators

[@BrooklynJimmie]

That's cool. I bought PGY Tech one and I used it a few times.. Got tired of forgetting the Allen key to get the plate off the camera. I have a Few f. 38 plates though. Maybe... Hmmmm.. Maybe...

[@alavallee2]

I have the f38 quick release system and just got the v2 backpack shoulder strap attachment as well. Thing is amazing!! Only minor complaint. Each falcon f38 base plate that I have came with different screws. One was just a flat head, one was a flat head and Allen that matches the f38 tripod Allen wrench(3mm I believe) with is awesome! Finally the new V2 backpack base plate screw came with a flat head and Allen but a 4mm Allen. Again, I’m nit picking, but would love to get one matching screw to that matches all of them. Wrote to Falcam and they said they can’t sell me 1 or 2 matching base plate screws. Looking for the flat head + 4mm Allen that is small enough to fit in Falcam base plates that not too long. If anyone knows where I can get a couple please share. David, thanks for all the great vids!!

[@andyprosserman2088]

I’m glad I came across this video, I wanted something like this a year ago and stopped looking! Gonna grab one of these now. Now I just need an F38 attachment that’s compatible with Peak Design’s new Camera Clutch and I’m set. Unless Falcam’s since made one of those too? I’m off to check.

[@TodayWeRideGlobal]

3:00 Forgot to pin the video ;) Great vid anyways, thank you!

[@eagleeatsmonkey3621]

ive been waiting for this new clip for mths ... gonna order one now

[@trixieontrail]

I'd love to see a vid for an item like this and other accessories, for phone photographers

[@drunksaru]

Dang it, i gotta buy this now. I bought two of the V1's when they first came out but didn't work well for me so i just unscrewed the quickrelease portion and used that in other applications instead. But like you, i've swapped most of my peak design to Ulanzi's stuff except I still use Peak's anchor hooks and backpacks. Those are still superior in design over Ulanzi. Their anchor hooks snapped on me when carrying my 600mm.

[@yoavPK1]

What about gimbals?? It’s fit for RS3 as well?

[@todddammit4628]

I saw these on their website 2 weeks ago and pre-ordered 2 of them. Hoping I get them soon!

[@Duckquack-1]

Watching this channel for me is like an alcoholic watching the wine Channel

[@PhillipSkraba]

It’s like a Porsche 911 and a Ford Focus estate, the Ford may be more practical, but hell, I’d much prefer to drive down the road in the Peak Design, wind in my hair, feel the luxury leather on the steering wheel, it’s just another level with PD 🤘🏻

[@yu_for_work]

WOW! Finally, something better than PD!!

[@OzxGG]

Yes! I was on this same boat, just ordered the clip!

[@maruwaanmoses]

I just got one yesterday! It's incredible

[@randomname931]

game changer. I'm sold.

[@EroNekoSan]

Damn it! I bought the V1 3 months ago after watching your review...

[@joseangel81081]

He adquirido el Falcam F38 V2, una maravilla, tienes que ajustar correctamente al tamaño del asa donde lo vayas a sujetar y no se mueve nada, además tiene adaptador para diferentes tamaños, la sujeción es más rápida que PD con todos sus ajustes, muy muy fiable y cómodo.

[@davidh3049]

The big thing about backpack falcam clip v1 is that v1 is not compatible with the falcam camera cages as v1 has too much bulk. v2 is compatible with the falcam cages ❤️

[@ExploreTravelTV]

dang, nice, now I have to buy this new strap holder. I have the tripod and various other mounts for this as well. thanks for the review!

[@philippegagnon8219]

Personally, I haven't been lucky. I bought the F38 travel and the quick plate that came with it wouldn't stay screwed on. Unlanzi sent me another one, and it was the same story. As soon as I put it on the tripod, it was already unscrewing and loose. I received a third one, and it was the same issue. With my Nikon Z8, the collar of my 200-500mm and 70-200mm lenses, the quick plate becomes loose by the time I put it on the tripod. I sent the whole thing back for a refund.

[@Paine137]

Try some blue loctite, which can always be undone.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Interesting, I have six plates on six cameras around here and none of them have come loose. Between the Peak Design plate and F38 plate, I've had a much better experience. Especially the new F38 anti-rotation plates. Those are awesome!

[@philippegagnon8219]

@@DavidManningvlog I've done some tests, and the plates with a serial number ending in "J" seem okay, while those ending in "Z" become loose.

[@MagnitudeReviews]

Ulanzi makes a peak design-compatible plate that you can use on some of their own camera quick release systems. It’s how I was able to get a quick release system that works with my capture clip, tripod, mini tripod, and gimbal. Without removing any plates at all.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yep, that's what I mention has been my current setup for the past year. But that also meant that my camera always had to mount sideways to my F38 gear. With this new and improved clip, all my gear is F38 and no more worrying about which way anything is going🙌

[@koolaidpapi7674]

Literally showed it in the video

[@JeffCorcelius]

I like the F38 system. My first capture clip was polar pro version. It was awesome but also not compatible with anything.

[@teamsaunz]

Wow, who knew such a small thing can have a world of difference.

[@ShimodaDesigns]

I ordered my mom an Aura frame for X-mas. I think that’s the first time I’ve I have acted on a video sponsor :) Also new plate looks great, the older one is a bit of a clunker.

[@TheOrdinaryUnordinaryGuy]

Also bought a bunch of a F38 when I watched your first video about it and then got the mt-68 mini tripod as well. Loving it! But then I recently purchased the Peakdesign micro clutch which sadly doesn’t work with the F38 plate 😢 The clip looks great and definitely looks much easier to attach 😅

[@RynaxAlien]

Belt thickness and width compatibility?

[@DavidManningvlog]

A bit better than the PD clip at over 2.5" and a good bit of adjustment with the different levels of locking

[@RynaxAlien]

@@DavidManningvlog will it work on thin 1mm webbing belt?

[@Marcus_Visbal]

I use the pgytech snap lock. They have plates you put in and arca Swiss clap

[@damianorenzetti]

Yeah and let’s not forget, if you have a Gimball (even the DJI RS3 mini) there’s F38 compatible quick release mounts. So goodbye to switching plates on the camera even for the gimball ❤️

[@michaelknibbs]

Can’t resist the enthusiasm. Keep ‘em coming.

[@stephenartner]

I ordered this product but was very unimpressed with how wobbly and insecure the plate is when attached to the base. When I walk, the camera rattles around and feels very loose even though it's clipped on. It's just not a tight fit. I already own the V1 version of the Falcam backpack clip and I never had this problem.

[@DavidManningvlog]

So it's an odd conundrum. The Peak Design has the same issue, which is a bit of play side to side. The F38 V1 has no play in the system at all, but a totally different locking system. Personally, I'm okay with the bit of play in the F38 V2 system because it makes the slide in and out so smooth. I'm rarely running with my camera on and just while walking I don't notice it

[@nicktsonis7102]

Are the old plates compatible with f38 V2? Also are the v2 plates compatible with old f38 bases?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yep, plates work either way on the clips. As long as they're F38 you're good to go!

[@IAmniceify1]

@@DavidManningvlog additionally it works with all plates from PD, PGY, Arca

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Thank you for the video. Have been wanting to try this out but my last attempt to order I mistakenly ordered the unit to put on a tripod and not the strap clip. Now I understand what I need to order. Also, what camera bag were you demonstrating with in your video. Can you please share that info. Take care.

[@CheckGoCheck]

Hand downs to Ulanzi, best user experince ever!

[@TheRiehlThing42]

Do you have to use their plate? I'm trying to find a clip that works with Arca Swiss rail. I have a Smallrig cage, that has an Arca Swiss rail at the bottom, would love to use that, since I also have a Smallrig tripod that has a removable leg, to use as a monopole, if my 3/8" hole on the bottom isn't covered. I almost think I'm going to need to get a cheese board to mount on the bottom, since every plate I've had, whether it is Cotton Carrier or Peak Design, their plate covers the 3/8" hole.

[@hexagonvn8744]

So the whole camera weight is secure by 2 cable in the back of the clip, right?

[@vvhalefccd]

Wrong, see 8:40 The clip is snapped shut making that hold all the weight. The cables tighten the clip to the strap of your backpack which would probably break before those cables… the cables are protected by the clip.

[@mtbboy1993]

7:35 I've never heard them called that, it's Knipex, not knips. Good choice of tools.

[@Caprica_]

Love Ulanzi stuff also. I still need to figure out all the quick release parts toorder for my set-up. Just curious if you've also adapted your gopro stuff onto it also. Would be interesting to see that.

[@lawyerdch]

Does v2 fit over wide backpack straps?

[@yeeisme]

I'm glad to see the chest spurs of V1 go bye-bye. How is it working with your cages?

its actually really nice, but i dont know if i trust that lanyard to keep the clip in place on my backpack as i use mu PD clip with a camera while hiking, maybe i'll use it for my urban kit but not for outdoors

[@flytyingtex]

I have had the same peak design backpack clip, which has worked perfectly for 10+ years. I couldn't be more impressed with their products.

[@jwkm6918]

Question regarding functionality? Does it work better than PD Capture Clip when fastening/unfastening the camera to the clip? I've always thought that PD's version is hit or miss if you don't get the plates aligned perfectly flat relative to one another when guiding the plate into the clip. Thoughts?

[@destructiondynamics]

if anyone sees this and is debating on picking up one of these, careful if you use a backpack with wide straps/no slits in the staps. my Osprey Farpoint 40 desnt seem compatible with the falcam clip after purchasing from seeing this vid. bit disappointed as the product itself seems very well designed

[@ChipLinck]

Interesting looking system. I went to their site. They have multiple connection systems, but they don't compare them and explain what the design purpose of each one is. I despise companies that leave me to figure out why they have multiple product types. They have 7 different systems and no comparison chart, no ad copy on why each one exists. I just get to waste time looking through their site. They don't even have all the same specs listed in the same way for each system. I see the F50 is rated for up to 110lbs. Still digging through F22 and F38 to find out what their load ratings are.

I ordered the: Ulanzi Falcam F38 Quick Release Kit for Camera Backpack Strap Clip V2 F38B3803 × 1 I received it and when i clip it, there is a gap between the plate and the base: Sometimes the plate no longer comes out because it is not aligned for the exit. It makes noise and it could come out on its own... I wrote to them about the problem and their response was: These two products are compatible and the gap between them is normal and is for easier installation !! Did you encounter this problem?

I have F38 plates attached to everything, but have used the two-way plates because the Peak Design clip fits over my Shimoda backpack strap, and F38 version 1 clip does not.
