Falcam F38 Quick Release System With Ulanzi - Amazing Upgrade from Peak Design

[@2cats1guy]

These are awesome. Just wish they were half the price. My money quick releases from my wallet with these things.

[@stephensears7483]

I love that ulanzi made a plate that works with both F38 and Peak Design mounts! They are a pleasure to use - as long as you remember to orient the plates the same direction on all your cameras to reinforce the muscle memory. For me it's F38 side to side, and PD backwards and forwards.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes!! Haha - I am the same - ulanzi to the side and PD forwards and backwards

Yessir! F38 crew 4LYFE! Have used my quick release mounts and backpack strap for over a year now and love it! I go hiking with the family in the Shenandoah National park a bunch with my a7c and Tamron 28-200 and it hold solid and strong at all times 👍 Ulanzi doing its thing providing solid gear for an awesome value.

Nice!! It’s so great and fast

[@OverNoobin]

YES!!! I love the Falcam F38 system & mine just arrived in NJ... just waiting for it to make its way to Florida. I'm putting that system on everything, including the GoPro (I was so excited to see that they made an option for GoPro).

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s so crazy good. It’s the only thing I use these days

[@thewildybeast]

It’s not just so much easier for carrying your camera. Using your camera without a strap is so much nicer as far as handling and ergonomics go. In fact it was getting a new backpack, which meant that it was easier to take my shoulder strap off the camera and the improved experience using my camera without a strap,made me seek an alternative way to carry my camera. I ended up with a Nitze clip and I would never go back. I truly recommend taking the strap off your camera and look for an alternative way to carry it without a strap.

[@HustleHue]

Exactly the video i needed - thank you!

[@patrick-santamaria]

"don't worry I am still wearing the same shirt" this made me crack up so much :D great video, as always. So if I want to attach it to my backpack and have a quick release for my tripods, I will need to buy two products - the basic system and the backpack strap kit, right? Thanks for being my guide in all gear related questions :D

Fourthly, I believe they have an updated version to this now after a quick look around which quick releases off your harness.

Great timing on this video. I picked up my FX30 yesterday. And I want a means to use it with my M3 gimbal, and now I have it. Thank you! RE the FX30, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Cine EI workflow. I've watched a couple videos about it, but, I still need a walkthrough of how to actually work with Cine EI in a real world scenario. I do love how you can swipe up on the monitor to bring up the FN menu. It makes for quick changes, etc. More to come.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Still waiting for mine up here in Canada!!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis The menu is different for shooting in SLog3. It doesn't have Gamma Assist specifically. It has four gamma display settings to choose from based on whether you're shooting in HLG, SLog, or non-Profile. It confused me at first. But, after a few minutes I settled on "Flexible ISO" mode and the "SLog3>709" display setting. Until I figure out the Cine EI mode, I'm going with Flexible ISO, which is basically your standard config for shooting in SLog3.

Hi Mark, I still don't completely understand the Arcadia and Swiss system. I have a Hohem MT-2 what exactly would I need? Thx!

[@brettashford3910]

it's frustrating that in order to position the camera in the pd capture clip with the lens facing down you must insert it into the tripod sideways, which makes the screw for the panning lock difficult to move

Just another great video, sir~~~

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@Ed-wu9jg]

Great video! It's convincing me to go for this system. Only question I had is about the PD compatible one. I plan to use PD bag clip and use Ulanzi Strap clip. To keep the camera lens pointing down, will I need to loosen and rotate the base for f38 or PD system, or does it work in F38 base both ways, but PD only 1 way if that makes sense?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

on that PD compatible plate - only one side will fit the peak design and the other the ulanzi. So if you wanted the lens pointed down on both clips, you'll need to rotate it - yeah.

[@Ed-wu9jg]

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Cheers for the confirmation mate! Good to know. I think I'll probably still go for it hey.

[@kenetoi_21]

Can i use this to smallrig arca swiss system on my zhiyun m3s?

[@0verflown]

Hey, do you have a recommendation for camera straps? I suppose Peak Design Slide is still the most useful, and Ulanzi sells a baseplate with lanyard loops that would be a good combo.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I think that’s it. peak design has great straps, and you can use the ulanzi f38 quick release with the strap.

[@rawbsworld6604]

My friend said thanks 🤪👌

Can you put arca plates into the F38 base on a tripod?

no base plates will fit into the f38 system except f38 base plates. the f38 system and it’s base plates can be fastened into into any arca Swiss tripod head

[@lauratonello6164]

[@randrade89]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks!

Since I have ordered a TreeRoot tripod (based on your review), I would like to enter the F38 ecosystem but to be honest the product catalog is quite disconcerting. Regarding the plates, there is the 2268 and the 2270 which is multi-holes, what is the difference? It seems that there are also 3 different plates: the original 2269, the anti-deflect 2401and the new v2 2401A. Which one to get? I have also found a base plate for the Weebill S. Will it be compatible with the Weebill 3E as well? Or can I simply add a 2268 base to the original Weebill 3E? I'm so confused and the Ulanzi website is pretty messy as well.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The 2268 is the baseplate and top plate combo. the 2270 is just the baseplate of that unit. don’t worry too much about it - anything that has f38 will work. Here is what I would get - the multihole kit because it gives you the most options. it will have the base plate (3364) and the plate to attach to your gear. (3301). here is the link www.ulanzi.com/collections/falcam-f38-quick-release-series/products/falcam-f38-multi-hole-quick-release-kit-f38b3404?aff=574t You can fasten the base plate to your gimbal too without needing a specific weebil plate. then buy a few more of the 3301 plates to put on your other gear. It’ll be easier when you see it in person.

[@wretchedworm]

does the knobs of the f38 capture plate dig into your skin like what david manning said? really want to get the ulanzi but i consider comfort more important so if it does, i'd rather get the PD plate

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

he's talking about the backpack clip specifically. The plates themselves are fine on all the products but the backpack clip has knot that stick out. I think the Peak Design backpack clip is nicer - So I actually use the peak design clip with the special Ulanzi plate that has one side f38 and one side Peak Design. But if you're only getting a backpack clip and that's it with no other parts to the quick release system - I would just get the Peak Design

[@s2DoubleU]

Hey Mark, do you still use the Falcam system? Was wondering your thoughts on it as I saw quite a lot of other comments from another video talking about how the plate will automatically get loose after a short period of time. While another brand called PGYTECH seems safer (but then it's also double the price of Falcam)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I still use the Falcam - everyday. The plates do not come loose if they are tightened properly. PGYTECH are good (I have some) - but their system is no where near as built out. The F38 has many tripods, backpack clips, camera straps, gimbals, cages. Go with the F38 - it's the best thing I have ever gone with

Thanks for this great video. I wanted to ask if you recommend this for a a sony a7s3 and a24-70g master and a cage. It gets kind of heavy and as I see it there is just one screw for mounting it to a camera so you cant realy relay on it not twisting around. Do you still recommend this to a slighty bigger setup ?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

You can definitely bolt in into a cage but it will likely twist eventually with a bigger setup. They have a Manfrotto compatible quick release system (the F50) that can go with bigger Manfrotto tripods

[@halimrahman]

I asked earlier in your other post and I was on the website. The dimension is 85x46x22mm --- in your test with your backpack, does it work perfectly with the shoulder strap? I am using LowePro Photo Active BP 350 AW (daily), and LowePro BP 450 AW II (travel).

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It fits on backpack straps well - but most backpack strap are padded so it's best to use a clamp wrench to help you put it on easily and save your fingers from the twisting of those little screws. Check out David Mannings video on how he does it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWTXqKBrqr13q6M

[@halimrahman]

That is quite a clever technique. Yes, these straps are very well-padded. I guess I can't leave the clamp for a long period, otherwise, it will damage the padding materials.

HAHA! I know you'll love it!

[@TheMstarTube]

Do you get some strange vibrations with the M3 and the ulanzi M3 plate? When I have my ZV-E10 on it starts vibrating and then shuts off. I do however have a cage on my ZV-E10. I need to try and just use a f38 on the regular M3 plate, I think that will actually work better. The ulanzi M3 plate is quite thick.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

if it’s vibrating like that is usually means you have an axis locked

[@TheMstarTube]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I’m pretty sure i didn’t. I can balance it without problems but then when you have it on it suddenly starts to vibrate and shuts off. It’s the same problem as in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/emmUg6eQj9drfac
