I love how smallrig is working with creators really listening to what we want and looking for. Really hope this comes at a solid price point

Smallrig is not working with “creators” there’s like 10 guys all of these companies give things to… 💯 if you want these items free… start spending your money on camera gear no one wants or needs and do reviews and eventually boom you’ll get some free stuff… Gene is different as he definitely has skills outside of the the “creator” label… but most don’t leave their homes fam… you may actually have more talent than the “creators” these companies reach out too… but if your bank account can’t keep up with the release of new products then this isn’t for you.

@@chinitopinoy1726 still way better value than the peak design one, so glad I waited all those years for a tripod lol

Potato Jet is the best, always so entertaining guy!

I can see how this could work and really improve our workflow 😊 Cheers much great interview ❤

Looks super efficient and well thought! Me want one!

Been using the Sachtler Aktiv heads on Flowtechs and love them. But this looks to be a great ingenious alternative. Can’t wait to give it a try.

This design seems like humanity has invented a new tripod.

Damn. I've been looking for a new tripod and I think this is the one. Holy crap. That's some great innovation.

I got to play with it more today and it’s cool but the grip that actuates the release is at a strange angle that makes it difficult to taqueéis comfortably - and maybe it’s because Potato has been swinging from it but it’s very difficult to close efficiently. The legs bind and catch so it’s very difficult to collapse. Also, it might work better when opening if there were spreaders? It’s definitely not really for prime time but looks promising. YC Onion also has a very quick deploying and easy to use monopod that’s lightweight and at a decent price point.

possible? impossible? what do you estimate the price on this? www.diyphotography.net/first-look-at-the-impossible-tripod-from-potatojet/

Looking forward to this tripod, the grip is easier than having to lock and latch 3 flaps like in the Sirui SVT75 or Sachtler Flowtech

it's a win win here, smallrig and potatojet, defintely getting this

🎉 Great work @potatojet ! And love the NAB coverage Udi!

Thanks man. Hope to meet again at the next convention

I've had a Manfrotto Neotec for 20 years now and yet to come across a faster deployant tripod set up until NOW. Finally I can move on into the future, love this design for my landscape Aussie adventures. I'd pay $1K AUD, maybe release an Aluminium version for higher sales.

Very cool design.. I would love to try it out with my Nikkor 600 F4.0 IF-ED AI-s and gimble. being able to change levels while holding the weight would be very cool.

Is that the head that will come with it? If so, I’m happy to see proper graded dampening controls

I really hope they release a travel mirrorless version

I’ve always wanted something like this.

can the head be changed to the Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head, Black ???

Potatoe Jet is Genius , i hope the Price is effordible

Awesome Tripod!

Man’s doing big things

So cool!

When should it arrive in Europe?

Make it retract as fast!

10:11 not shaking hands? Love the tripod though, def a quick setup and move, love it.

I’m not allergic to putting lights on sticks, while a down-softbox isn’t in the cards, the fastest off-camera keylight I do is one of the compact battery lights 1/4-20’d onto a cheap amateur tripod. Cloth diffusion from lightweight backdrop stand (indoor only). C-stands really have earned their place for flexibility and the other options like clamps, magnets and so on are way more case-sensitive.

SOOOO GOOD!!! Price isnt that important because this is so new, we need revisions. This easily is what everyone has been waiting for. I have no idea why there arent many versions by many makers out there. Its like it took decades for engineers to realize luggage should have wheels on them. Then it took them years to come up with basic rolling luggage. Many revisions should be coming from many makers. Come on, its so obvious.

I hope there is a way to avoid accidentally depressing the clutch. I have had tripod legs slip, and watching a camera rig crash to the ground is not cool.

Wanted to know what the max height was but since the middle column is able to rise up 👏🏿 take my money

This is going to be an 1100 dollar tripod :(

And sadly that would put it out of my price range, and out of range for most prosumers looking for quality gear and are just getting started. Or advanced hobbyists. But I would so love this tripod.

Okay so when can I buy one 😂

love the concept, but the wiggle at 6:48 and 7:30 is not usable for any pan shots, for just stills, this is great. Hope they revise it more

You can clearly see the legs flexing on the torsion. This will make the end of a fast pan or maybe even a slow pan have a lot of backlash. A spreader will help.

How much does Potato weigh?

How much you want? Coz the last tripod which did something similar to this I saw cost 2000 USD. And yeah I'm not spending 2000 on a tripod, I don't care how much time it saves me.

Looks great, can’t wait to buy. Hopefully under $600

legs are great, in interesting concept with the legs, but the tripod head is the key to professional camerawork, and I don't see a pro counter balance, or speeds on that head.

There's a bit of counter balance on this, but it's not fine tuned yet. (The demo had three stages: small mirrorless, FX3 weight, and FX6 weight)

@@diyphotography Honestly the legs are very interesting, however, the head looks like a clone of prosumer manfrotto heads.

Gene-ious.

I WANT IT, PLEASE BE A GOOD PRICE

No way this will be a useful pro video tripod. Too much backlash while panning. Look at those pathetic legs torque when he pans it.

Also I would not use this tripod unless I was a photographer… not for my video work at all… they are saying it’s good for video work but knock it off

I imagine It would be fine with a sandbag. Aside from that there are lots of uses for tripods that aren’t smooth panning. I think this would be a great tripos for a b cam.

Almost unsubscribed after this one 💯

Dang @potatojet @genenagata now that I seen this in depth video, I really would like this (if affordable). 2 would be nice. One with the fluid head for video and one without a head, so I can put the head I love for my stills photography. I can really see this for my road trips, camping, studio work, etc.
