As usual, fun, informative, knowledgeable and inspiring. Thank you for your sharing.

[NikCan]

Always brilliant and informative on each video

Interesting tripod! I must resist though, all the other tripods I have would get angry with me...

[ggpaghi]

As a proud owner of an Albert 2.0, I stand by what you just said. Quality and stability is peerless

[marioplus]

Fine fine fine 👍

Of high shutter speed, >1/100, do you prefer to take photos handheld or with a tripod?

[zhengricky]

Really miss those good old photowalk days in North London this time last year

[veektoryk]

Looking forward to the circular polarizer video!

@5:00 for some reason I thought you just casually pulled out a Sony A7iii! I almost spit out my coffee. :)

The tripod head has a Super Mario vibe to it. Hooray for colors! Camera gear can be kind of bland sometimes.

Thanks for this review. Yes, indeed I do know a better brand: Novoflex (but it is as expensive as Gitzo but even more versatile)! Novoflex is very modular what makes it unique! 🤔

You should try the Vanguard VEO 3T+ 234CB (Impressive).

I prefer Brian. Taller when extended and more important shorter when collapsed. That so it fits inside the topbox on my scooter. Billy is just 1 cm to long.

Thanks for the review Jimmy! Can we use the tripod head on its detachable leg when using it as a monopod?

[evenaicantfigurethisout]

does the airhed neo level in both axes simultaneously (pitch and roll)?
i'm not sure if i'm using it correctly, but my bubble levels can only
tell me if i'm level in one of the axes, either pitch or roll (depending
on the direction in which i mount the arca plate) but not both at the
same time.

Hmmm, let me think ....Orange & Blue, eh? Nope! 🤣

[FelanLP]

And once again I am asking myself, WHY do they not simply make telescope legs where you just twist the last leg to tighten every element in one go instead of every element above individually to hold the leg below in place. Internal tightening mechanism are standard in every cheap broom. And trypods like that exist. And some aren't even as expancive as this one here. So why even buying a tripod that has an external tightening design, that needs way longer to set up too?

[Jawsjawsjawsrg]

I'm going to have to stick with my cheap but expensive MeFoto tripod. It can do most of what your's did but not all the legs come off, just one of them. Wouldn't matter for this anyways, the neck keeps this a foot and a half high anyways.

One question 😅 how tall are you? For me the two most important things are more important for me than the color 😊
