INNOREL RT75C TRIPOD & N44 BALLHEAD - 1ST IMPRESSIONS

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

Alan, great review video. I loved the time-lapse at the beginning. Happy Birthday. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.

[@thevalleywalker]

Thanks Craig, As with all the stuff I do I tned to overshoot so much stuff and so the timelapse was just a way of speeing up the footage and incvluding me erecting the tripod quickly..lol. Thanks for the birthday wishes . Have a great weekend. atb Al

[@JeremyPayne]

Happy birthday mate, that tripod looks pretty slick mate. All the best and have weekend.

[@thevalleywalker]

Evening Jeremy, thx for the birthday wishes. A little different from me I know but hopefully will be back on the landscapes soon .. hope ya well... atb Al

[@clavius8182]

i've been considering this particular tripod. thanks for the video.

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi Clavius, I have been using it for a couple of months now & it's all good. atb Alan

[@robingrant8082]

Happy birthday Al. The tripod looks like an excellent gift, a nice balance between stability and portability. Best regards - Robin

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi Robin, thanks for the birthday wishes. 🙂 Yes, Iam pleased with it thus far, lets hope it proves itself in the long term. Never done any sort of gear reviw - there are enough out there but not had chance to get out and make content these last few weeks - also there are not many videos on the Innorel tripod so thought I would give it a plug. Atb Al

Great tripod review, thanks for sharing

[@thevalleywalker]

Thanks Tony, much appreciated. Atb Al

[@anthonypayne1]

Belated birthday greetings Alan. Looks to be a solid tripod for the price, you can never have too many tripods! Lol!👍👍👍

[@thevalleywalker]

Thanks Anthony, I was getting a bit short on the tripods - my lad has taken back one also so I guess I need a new one...lol. Nothing like a new bit of kit to boost the creative juices eh? 😂 atb Al

[@anthonymiller8979]

I just got one of these and they must have made some updates as mine also included a second center column about 5" long. I use this one when working from the car but if travelling well into the woods I have the smaller RT55C with the smaller ball head that packs even smaller.

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi Anthony - apologies for not replying to this sooner. I had some correspoindence with Innorel afterwards and they seem to listen to recommendations & I was not suprised the short column was included in later purchases. Like you I now have the smaller model and take t on day hikes with me - overall I am very pleased. atb Alan

[@EJ-gi9ib]

That is a good review. I like the diagrams. I am looking for a small tripod not a large and I havn't got a scoobies so that was interesting to get me motivated to look.

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi EJ, my "waffle" was helped greatly byt the real facts of those diagrams - as you know I ain't someone who does these sorts of things so I needed all the help I could get :) Thx for the watch.. atb Al

[@anthonymiller8979]

I found on mine it was the sturdiest with the small diameter lower legs retracted but with the center column extended a bit to gain the height lost be retracting the legs. With the lower legs extended and the center column retracted it had a bit more twist at the joint where all the legs came together due to the longer lever arm created but having longer legs.

[@thevalleywalker]

Ye, know what you mean - I have layed about with the legs in different positions too.

[@WyeExplorer]

Let's hope it helps your photography Alan. I have a real cheapo thing. I've never taken photography seriously although I've thought of taking a course. It sounds a great product. Take care mate. Mark

[@thevalleywalker]

Thanks Mark. I don't really take it seriously either to be honest... the tripod helps me personally because I have very shakey hands - my camera has built in stabilsation but looking at some of my hand held shots you would never know..lol - I need all the help I can get. :) atb Al

[@WyeExplorer]

@@thevalleywalker A pleasure Alan. Maan you've done some great photography - you could have fooled me. Have a great weekend.

[@thevalleywalker]

@@WyeExplorer Hope you have a good un too Mark :)

[@WyeExplorer]

@@thevalleywalker I will Alan. Thanks mate.

[@AdrenalinePitStop]

Great review Al, empresses video and sound quality too, what you using for video and sound Al? Thank you

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi Jon, trhanks for the watch mate. I filmed on my Panasonicn S5 and the sound was through to the S5 from Rode Wireless Go's To be honest I still not mastered the sound settings on that, I think I ste the gain too high... being a total novice iots sorta hit n miss... glad it sounded ok to you. Atb Al

[@dariuszlis4412]

Nice review, actually I'm looking for a new tripod so maybe this one . Im couriuse about your rucksack, what is that ? Regards

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi Dariusz, I can confirm that after a number of months the tripod isgoing strong and I have no issues with it. The rucksack I have is the Lowepro Flipside trek BP450 AW. regards Alan

[@peterviragphoto]

Nice review Alan! Looks like a decent tripod! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!😊 Subbed😉

[@thevalleywalker]

Thanks Peter, a few weeks down the line I still pleased with it and am probably looking at getting one of their smaller, even more lightweight tripods for my b roll footage. Thanks also for the sub, much appreciated. atb Al

[@peterviragphoto]

@@thevalleywalker very welcome mate!😀

[@priyankap6828]

Please could you let me know how are you finding this tripod after an year now?? I am thinking of buying one. Thank you !

[@thevalleywalker]

Hi Pryanka..... Overall I am reasonably pleased with it. The Tripod itself has performed well and I have had no problemns to speak of with it. However, the ballhead has caused jme a few problems. I mentioned in the review that it was a little stiff when adjusting it and this didn't get any better over time. Also the knob to tighten the arca swiss plate onto the tripod I have found fiddly and not great when tightening up - so much so that on two occasions I thought the camera was secured onto the head and moments later my camera fell off the onto the floor - the 1st tme I was on rocks and the camera took some damage which 6 months later I had to get fixed - the articulated flip screen became loose. Thank fully the 2nd time it was on soft grass and the camera was ok. I have lost some faith in the ballhead now and having tried someone elses ballhead recently I will be looking to replace it. I don't know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem with the ballhead - would be interested to find out. atb Alan

[@priyankap6828]

@@thevalleywalker Thanks for the kind reply. Apart from this do you have any other tripod in mind?? May i pls know which one you are considering as this tripod is not cheap. I am keeping my mind open. Thanks again !

[@davidhirst1007]

i have the same backpack alan ;-) grand little thing that is

[@thevalleywalker]

Hiya mate... yes the bag feels excellent. I was on a video call with Podgy and ordered it on the spurr of the moment just whilst chatting to him.. then 10 mins later he found it on a deal that saved me £35 so I got a real bargain. Hope ya doing well buddy - are we up n runing on the new channel yet? atb Al

[@deeber35]

Do u think this tripod can hold a 12-pound load with the legs at the 42 angle?

[@thevalleywalker]

I would image just over 5kgs would be fine at 42 degrees

[@Chris-NZ]

Seems like decent value Alan. The Chinese can make good quality stuff if they choose to.

[@thevalleywalker]

Morning Chris, my initial findingsa suggest they have done a decent job on this. atb Al

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

nice legs. and the ones on the tripod aren't bad either...

[@thevalleywalker]

Thanks Nick, lol. You can tell its warm when I get my legs out. 😂 Hopefully though the weather is changing for a few days.. its unbearable for me atm, I hate the heat. atb Al
