[@LisaRSArt]

Oh thank you. Fits all my needs and the phone holder thing. So cool. ❤ I need to buy a new one anyway.

[@StefanMalloch]

Its a great little tripod! Enjoy

[@stevengoossen6019]

Your link to "Buy it here" goes to the Peak Design tripod, may want to change it.

[@nikkifennell]

Looks like a winner ❤

[@agrs1974]

Budget tripod? $299. Lol

[@mtbboy1993]

I got the Peak Design cheaper on sale. 👌

[@agrs1974]

@@mtbboy1993 Not worth the money imo

[@DejayClayton]

Reminds me of a Manfrotto I have.

[@Whiskeyj456]

For anyone looking for a budget option, Smallrig’s AP-01 travel tripod has 90% the features of this Freewell at a third of the price. It’s aluminum, 2.4 lbs, can fold its legs out for floor shots, has 1/4-20 points for mounting things on the side, and comes with an arca ball head and plate. At $129 It’s been a great companion of mine on hikes this past year.

[@FreewellGear]

It’s aluminum there you the same company also does carbon fiber so right comparison will be with that apple to apple not banana

[@Whiskeyj456]

@@FreewellGear I’m not comparing the material choice. I simply stated anyone looking for a budget option. $300 is not “budget” for most people. $129 is an easier pill to swallow at the expense of a bit more weight.

[@AjaySingh-228]

Good Bro

[@GilbertTV]

300 bucks is far too much , should be 150 tops , we are all being ripped off good review & its not personal my criticsm

[@Mike121mvm]

Ulanzi MT60 is also an amazing carbon tripod and it costs 2.5 times less. I skip the phone plate for the 180 euros more lol

[@FreewellGear]

This beats there Comanxulanzi which is higher in price that the actual comparison not MT60 with half the features. Lol how you make such an unconstructive comparison

[@bobdrawbaugh4207]

At $300 it’s a hard pass for me. It may be a maybe at half that price.

[@StefanMalloch]

A decent qualify carbon fiber for $150? Let me know when you find one!

[@ScreenFiends]

Overpriced crap. Any creators reading this, you do not need this tripod, Peak Designs tripod or any other overpriced tosh that had been given to KZbinrs for review. Every few months, a new "must have" product is released, and more often than not, you can definitely skip it.

[@StefanMalloch]

I've owned many tripods. Some are cheap garbage and some are great. You get what you pay for. This one I like and have been using daily.

[@mtbboy1993]

Which cheap tripods are good? Iv enot seen any. Peak Design is the cheapest tone I found and I got it on a nice sale, so was way cheaper. I opted for alu version as I'm mountainbiking an might crash, so did not want the carbon verison. For same reason my camera is padded with elbow pads and a back protector so it's safe I think. But the camera I got second used so saved a lot. The peak design seems robust seems like qualityapart from the phone holder. That's junk, failed after few uses, but I got an A7iv now, don't us emy phone anymore.
