great video thanks

[@user-ky9mv9sk6n]

Just found this and I can say, that I’m watching it now for the 3rd time and I love it!!!! I doubt that I’m the only photographer that researches something and buys it, then goes back on line to find reassurance that it’s a good buy!!! Well done!!!!

[@PaulHeimlund]

Great to hear!!! Thanks!

[@fotoaddict]

had mine for 1 week bought march 17 and used it once to mount my gopro and on May 9th i took out of bag in came in and the head was apart . luckily i never mounted my 5k camera and it wouldve been on the floor and damaged. the top part wear the strap is and above came apart. it was glued and not threaded . i couldn;t beleive my eyes. i wish i can post photos here to show, the beware of this product. i can't trust it anymore with my gear on there. $200 garbage

[@paraagshah4153]

Thank you for this beautifully informative video and the various creative tips. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@PaulHeimlund]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@mauriciolee7349]

Thank you for this detailed and informative review. I wished you had also covered the model with the regular base that has no pedal

[@BrandonBurk]

3:55 When does the round base monopod come out?

[@degernarraholmes2167]

Could i attach a different monopod to the base??

[@Laladeduh]

Better than the Sirui SVM-165?

[@sowrirajanranganathan9427]

Super

[@RTCtraventure]

hi where is the link to the monitor mount attached to the monopod at 3:01

[@PaulHeimlund]

Hey! I just added it in the description. Look for Grab Clamp.

[@RTCtraventure]

@@PaulHeimlund thanks bro. I just subscribed 👍

[@BrandonBurk]

1:35 flip locks are way better than twist locks in my opinion.

[@PaulHeimlund]

My opinion as well ;)
