[@WillChidlow]

What do you think of this tripod? hit me up with questions and thoughts 👍🙏😎

[@StupidRaisins]

Looks like a very soild tripod and at a good price too! Thanks for the review Will!

[@deivytrajan]

What do you think about Vanguard tripod options? Worse than Manfrotto per simular price rance?

I bought this tripod a few weeks ago and so far I love the versatility. Just a quick point, a few people have mentioned not being able to adjust the tension of the panning motions, but I've been able to do this simply by twisting the handles, although if you want a tighter/stiffer tension then make sure the tripod is weighted!

Hey I’m not commenting a lot on this platform but I just wanted to say that after watching a looot of reviews, even from “bigger” youtubers, I can affirm that yours was by far the clearest and the most complete one. Some details you mentioned (hard time balancing the camera, odd placement of the little locking knob, etc.) I had never heard of before seeing your content. So thanks for the great work, hope you get more subscribers and views because you seem to deserve it. Cheers.

[@WillChidlow]

Thanks so much, very kind, glad you got some value 🙏👍😎

[@TravisVarga]

Yeah that plate knob’s a bit rough - love the fluid head / double tilt action though. Just did a review and the tripod surprised me for sure! It’s like a Compact Action Pro

I don’t need this but the manfrotto arm I have to attach my camera to my desk which is amazing… which you also recommended! 😀

[@MikelangeloPhoto]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@WillChidlow]

Glad it was helpful! 🙏👍😎

Hi Will, thanks for this video! Can I use my own Arca plates with this? I would like to take a longer plate to balance my camera with a long lens.

[@WillChidlow]

Hi Angela, yep, any arcs Swiss plate should work 👍🙏😎

Great review

[@HighOrbitMediaVideos]

Thans, Will!

[@WillChidlow]

Thank YOU!

Would this tripod handle a Celestron skymaster 25x100 binoculars.?

[@E_nez]

I’ve been looking for a tripod that is affordable and good for travel but I don’t know anything about them. What would you recommend to film vlogs ?

[@WillChidlow]

This would certainly be a great option but if you want something lighter or cheaper or both then checkout the 2 other tripods I’ve reviewed on the channel, both are awesome so you can choose based on what’s best for you. Thanks for watching 👍🙏😎

[@E_nez]

@@WillChidlow yes! I will thank you, 👍

@@WillChidlow I’m in Cornwall. Amazing for a holiday but to live here ideally need to be 80+ or retired :(

How has this held up for you over the last two years. I’m ready to pull the trigger on purchasing it, but was curious as to how it’s held up over time…

[@WillChidlow]

The legs have been great, the head not so much, it’s ok in a pinch but doesn’t compare to a larger more solid video fluid head. That opinion is purely based on video shooting, the head is fine for photography but then there are simpler light options available if just using for photography
