I ended up doing a mixture of this. I bought a Benro Mach3 "Large" as suggested by others in this thread as it was cheaper and now that I have it it does seem just as sturdy or even more so than ...

You might find The Floppotron on YouTube to be a fun reminder of such capabilities taken to extremes.

I had never heard of them before, and while out of my price range currently, I'll keep it in mind going forward.

I'm in Canada, more specifically Southwestern Ontario (close to Windsor). I looked at that one, but no one near me carries Benro so I have never seen any of their stuff in person. Most camera ...

The Manfrotto 055 series was the one I've gotten to see in person so far. They seemed really good (especially in comparison to my Amazon Basics one lol). I have heard of Slik from other posts ...

Yea, weight isn't really an issue for me unless is stupidly heavy. Most aluminium ones I've seen in person are fine. My area though doesn't have much used, and even traveling a hour or more away is ...

Main use case is single person and small group portraits/pictures. I'm not really looking for a travel tripod. It can be bulkier and heavy as it is mostly used for set up situations outdoors with ...

Hi there, Quick question on how people prioritize building/choosing a tripod kit. Currently I'm looking at picking up a new tripod kit and while my budget is not tiny, I don't want to blow the bank ...

If I had the cash I'd likely get the Sony, but with the other 2 being so close and at half, or less, the price it becomes easier to look past. The other 2 seem to be VERY close and right now I'm ...

As a follow up, my buddy offered to sell me his 70-200 f2.8 for a pretty good deal (less than I'm getting paid for one of the shoots), so I'm likely headed to one of the 24-70s. But thanks for ...

As a follow up, my buddy offered to sell me the f2.8 for a pretty good deal (less than I'm getting paid for one of the shoots), so I'm likely headed to one of the 24-70s. But thanks for your ...

The loaner is more or less that as I was looking at general zoom lenses already but a second body and the 70-200 2.8 was not in the budget at all, and my buddy already had them (he just bought an ...

For the most part they've just asked me not to go above F4. They will be doing most of the heavy lifting, I'm more for helping catch spontaneous moments, the attendees, and helping try to get more ...

Hi there, I'm curious as to what people would recommend lens wise for someone who is looking to help with shooting outdoor weddings that could double as a solid travel lens. I'm not a professional ...

Same here for timeframe but a different retailer here in Canada. I ordered January 24th and was told to expected it, or at least an update, by February 24. I never heard anything and when I ...

Sabrent SSDs, specifically NVMe drives, are considered some of the best on the market. This being a "premium" product doesn't shock me and I'll bet they preform and last well when they are finally...

I've used Meike and Neewer. The Meike worked well and didn't have any issues, the Neewer's remote control never worked from the start. Even after returning it to Amazon and getting a new one it ...

Both. When I'm away from home I use my iPad to offload photos from my Sony camera to it, then Lightroom takes them and uploads them to Adobe cloud. But when I open the app I can use any image in my...

I also have the Tamron 35-150 2-2.8 that I plan to use for most things once it's in soon. A number of air shows where I am currently have moved to not having static displays and it's likely to ...

I remain confused by how people find it hard/bothersome. Does it have some quirks? Maybe a couple? But like 99.9% of the time it works great. I recommend them to my family over most other devices...
