yes, you're right. On some webpages it also says 13.2 lbs, which appears to be the included LH-25 ballheads' rating. The correct rating shown should be that of the weakest link,,, in this case, ...

There are a few notable exceptions,,,, Gitzo, Manfrotto now use the UNI/PDR 105.2021 industrial standard for their weight payload ratings. Jobu Design also grossly underestimate their line-up of ...

Yes, that's another 4"-5" or so. Shooting stance is another consideration. With long primes on a gimbal head, you typically have your left hand (arm) on top of the lens barrel, and you're stooped ...
-
Gitzo added a few more features over time, such as using high-modulas carbon fiber for the lower leg-sections. High Modulas carbon fiber is VERY expensive compared to what budget carbon fiber ...

That's an older model, but you should be completely fine with that one. You might require a separate tool for tightening the spider, whereas the newer versions have a built-in spring-loaded ...

Hi Byron, First off, adding a gimbal head to your tripod will increase the view-finder elevation by roughly 4"-6", then you have to account for the height of the cameras' view-finder from its' own ...

Martin, if you're "handy" and have a drill with a metal-type drill-bit,,, or better yet, you have a small drill-press,, it's very easy to drill a small hole for a set-screw. You'd need a tapping ...

The 284 has 4 leg-sections,,,, the 285 has 5 leg-sections. The "28" refers to the diameter of the 1st leg-section. Leofoto doesn't seem to be very forthcoming regarding leg diameters, but ...

Hard to see from these photos, If it's salt from salt-water spray, you can neutralize it with common baking soda mixed with water. Are the white specks moveable,,, such as lint left behind by ...

OK Bob, thanks for that. Does the same apply when friction-control is completely off? The reason I mentioned the 24 second mark of the OP's video, was because the friction-control appears to be ...
-
Yes, the unit could indeed be broken,,,but that's not evident in his video. Watch it again and keep your eye on the friction-control knobs' face. The OP at no point through the entire video, ...
-
The video does not support that conclusion,,,,yet.
-
Well that's too bad, sorry it didn't work out,,, although, the video clip you posted appears to show the friction-control engaging at the 24-second mark, but you immediately disengaged it by ...

Some of my older Manfrotto tripods had set-screws that were noticeably loose even when fully threaded,,, to the point where they sometimes fell out of their threads. On one of those tripods, 2 ...

M6 would be "Metric size 6". If you add a drop of Loc-Tite, use the blue Loc-Tite, not the Red. The red would require a torch to remove it.
