Why do I never see bent bolt tripods reviewed? Like Uni-Loc or Benbo? These fixed axis tripod legs are so limiting!
I purchased the 7C traveler Sirui, but the ball head isn’t able to support my canon 6D mark ii even with normal lenses. Definitely won’t support it in the vertical position! Thinking of returning the tripod. Ball heads seem to be the only thing out there.
Thanks for this helpful video. Note that for most Sirui the center stalk can be taken put and inverted to get your camera super close to the ground
I’m thinking of iFootage Cobra 3 for me. Thanks for the informative videos.
Thanks Simon. What you said about gimbal and Wimberley was useful.
