SCG StediFast HD Tripod Review

Use Promo Code: WC10 for an exclusive discount.

One of the great things about Smooth Camera Gear (SCG) is that their tripods and heads are made of premium materials and alloys, yet are extremely affordable for what they offer. Is it too good to be true?

In this video and article I review the new SCG StediFast HD tripod with their updated T8 fluid head.

Is the CF version okay, or would you say to get the Aluminum one instead?

Hey Sareesh! My usual rig (rented) is the Alexa Mini/Mini LF -w/ arri broadcast plate, top handle and the beebob battery plate with a 160wh v-mount battery, Zeiss CP2/3 primes.
Usually paired with one clm-5 motor unit to pair with the Hi5 follow focus system.
This comes very close to the max payload of the tripod. Think it's a good idea to own this or continue renting a tripod as well?
Thinking of getting this as I plan to purchase a canon c400 and might as well get a tripod to go with it that works with the arri rig as well. I usually rent the miller arrow x3 head with sprinter 2 legs.

3 year warranty is pretty standard. Here were I live all electronics and appliances have a 5 year minimum warranty mandated by law

Leofoto gives 10 years warrenty
Sirui gives 6 years warrenty
Benro gives 5 years warranty
Small rig gives 2 years warranty

So nothing new about a 3 year warrenty. I expect that at this price point.

A "great" movie director advertisings a tripod. What a surprise!!!
