A few days ago KZread recommended me a lot of your older videos, so going back to watching this level of quality shows me how much dedication you have put into it! I think I'd prefer to go with the TC5, because a compact tripod would suit me really well for the travel videos I've been making lately!

Best review I've seen on tripods. THANK YOU for taking BOTH (non-/extended) height measurements, on-screen, in-person!!! (Have not seen anyone else do this, wish more would)

The built in levelling ball head is such a genius addition. And that definitely seems to be the easiest and quickest design I've ever seen for inverting the centre column, which is something I've never done with past tripods, because it's just too much hassle. For my needs, I think I like the TC7 the best, for its pure simplicity. Set-up time with that beast would be a dream!

IFootage definitely has some amazing products. A friend of mine (who also reviews their products) mentioned the people there are a group of engineers and seeing their product designs, you can definitely tell. That leg locking design is great, and makes sense. Super impressive stuff. Great review, man

Both my wife and I each have the iFootage mono pod. Fantastic build quality, and so easy to use.

Oh man! They are all nice, BUT that TC-7 is *Very Nice* !! I love the fast bowl design, makes leveling so easy and getting low to the ground convenient. Thanks for this opportunity, Gerald.

Thanks, Will. My pleasure.

On Thursday I uploaded a video I unboxed the iFootage TA6 Gazelle Uprise I'm amazed how well the tripod preformes. Awesome vid

I've had my eyes on the TC7 ever since I saw Thomas Heatons short review, since it seemed like quality, well thought out gear to use! Now your video confirms this and I'll have to get one...or even win one :D Thanks for your videos, always great to watch!

Thanks for the information on all the tripods. Nothing like making it more difficult to choose! I think the TC6 being more the do it all without as much compromise wins the vote for me. As always, appreciate the unique spin on the content you produce!

excellent in-depth review, it helps us a lot to determine which of the three is the one that each of us needs. Thank you very much from Mexico.

Dope review! Oh man that tc6 with the heavier payload and the just 2 leg lock! 😍 loving it. You always tempting me!

TC6 - I’m travelling to Switzerland for work next month, and the collapsed size and lightweight design sells it for me. Will be picking one up! Thanks Gerald

Busting for a new tripod. The tc5 would check all the boxes for me. Top review fella!

All three looked pretty amazing. I'm already planning to buy the iFootage cobra because it looks like the best monopod out there and I love how solid the reviews say it is. I was leaning towards upgrading to the manfroto befree after that for a travel tripod but now I think the TC5 might have it beat. Thanks for the review!!

LMAO. Love that subtle intro, visual comedy at its best

Love that you made a video about these tripods because I've been researching them for the past month ever since you released your monopod review about them. The TC7 Fastbowl looks the most useful for my situation because I currently have the Manfrotto befree tripod and I feel so amateur when going to a gig with this lightweight tripod when the other shooters have their big and heavy legs. I was shooting b-cam for an interview video with my friend and I felt like I was making him look bad by having my setup next to his rig. I've also shot some sports videos and have had the tripod move and kicked out of place for being so light. Anyways, thanks for the awesome video and look forward to many more!

Once again, very well Undone! I'd have to go with the TC7 for the extra stability. Many thanks, Gerald!!

Reviews often focus on one model and it is clear someone has bought that and therefore, could well be a little biased! The ultimate review that we the viewers need, is to be able to see a range of models side-by-side, with measurements and the pros and cons described clearly and without bias. This is that review. All fitted neatly into 10 mins. They will sell more from this demo than any advert they will ever make. Thanks for posting.

Great overview! I like the TC6 the best - it seems the most versatile. I film stop-motion animation as well as live action footage and I think that the height of the tripod and its "underslung" mode would be really useful for times when I need to get the camera directly over my work. I love that we're now seeing tripods with both center columns and bowl-style level adjustments - best of both worlds.

Thanks for your review. I was wondering which model to choose and you've helped me great in my decision.

For my needs most fits TC6. I am impressed thank you for great explanation!

As always a nicely done and informative video. For my run and gun video needs, the TC5 would fit my needs best. A lot of great features as you highlighted

I like the Fastbowl. I shoot a lot of Milky Way astrophotography, both panos and tracked, and love the ease of leveling the Fastbowl provides. Plus, even though I’m 6’3” I never use the center column on any of my tripods - I have to have that stability. Great video. Thanks!

As always, great video! Clear, concise, & to the point: love it. I don't do much run & gun so the maximising the range takes priority over portability and ease of use. So I'd find most use in the TC6

Great review. detailed and comprehensive. TC6 is my next purchase. Thank You!

Well done iFootage! (And you to Gerald:)! Beautifully built, I love the levelling system which makes setup so much faster, and the leg adjustments are spectacular, both vertically and horizontally. Personally, if I had to choose one, I would likely choose the TC6 since its cheaper and I'm always trying to stay within an affordable budget. But that TC5 is a great unit to toss in a suitcase. Both are outstanding! Well done iFootage, and it's nice to see some true innovation and a well thought out approach to a tripod. 👍

Thanks, Dave! Always appreciate your comments.

Thanks for this video Gerald! You're going to save me a lot of bucks. I feel the TC6 is overall best suited due to the 3 section fold (instead of 4 on the TC5) and the versatility of using the centre column (as compared to the fastbowl) that just makes things fast in adjustments. Thanks for this man!

I travel solo for video projects fairly regularly and I usually settle for a flimsy, unreliable travel tripod because my main tripod won’t fit in a carry-on bag so that TC5 is looking mighty tempting. Another great video, sir. 👊🏻

Thank you Gerald…. I have been been hunting the internet for a half ball mount tripod since owning the Canon EOS R and getting into more video and the Tc7 looks awesome.. Living just below Algonquin.. wildlife is my thing. For the last year I have enjoyed your channel a ton. Thanks for being you..

Very informative and practical review. Thanks for that. In a time where travelling is easier than ever, but airlines are not making our lives easier when bringing our gear, I see myself trying to reduce the size and weight of my equipment. At the same time, I don't want to risk not bringing that piece of gear that I might need, especially when it comes to tripods. For that reason, the TC5 is my favorite because I can have a sturdy and versatile tripod with minimum weight with me.

I'm with you, I like the TC6 best as I don't travel much but would enjoy its light weight. I like all the features you mentioned but think their design for leveling the head is spectacular! What a time saver! I never thought about hanging a camera upside down, but that could be very useful. Thanks for your review!

I picked up the iFootage monopod and was blown away by how strong and easy to use the red leg clamps were! I like them so much I’m planning on picking up one of these tripods.

Sad I haven’t found your videos earlier, but thanks for making quality reviews that I can trust. Btw TC5 seems amazing since I travel quite a lot😊

All three of these tripods are lightweight but at the same time they seem very sturdy. I love the quick adjustability and the quick release bowl of the TC7. It would be my tripod of choice. Thanks for another awesome review!!!

Gerald snaps his fingers and creates the most thorough reviews/overviews in the camera space. This company doesn't get the recognition it deserves. To me, that center column wing nut contraption is very innovative. These should get just as much press as the new Peak Design tripods. I myself would love the TC5! Been saving for a travel tripod as I just broke my last one cause it was a cheap ebay one :( Thanks for the videos Gerald.. you crazy.

The TC5 does seem the best option for size, weight capacity and max working height. I really like the addition of being able to take the centre column off which is useful and the hook that seems very sturdy is another added bonus! The soft close and extend of the legs is a great feature. Love the videos, great detail and as always delivery.

Awesome review, Gerald! My favourite would be the TC6 for the versatility. The TC5 would be nice for travel but I find myself needing that extra height from time to time. Also, would choose the TC6 over the TC7 just for the sandbag hook to keep everything rock steady during timelapses :)

Love all of them, lots of thought into everything. I'd like the TC5 in Carbon Fiber because I travel lots. Great vid!

It's the TC7 for me. I love the simplicity of it and the standard height it can achieve...as well as the lack of weight. Great video by the way. Really helpful.

Man, the faces at the end got a giggle. As always, really stellar factual review Gerald! I personally sit on your line, I like the more versatile TC6. The speed of the TC7 might be neat, but I'm far from the level of filmographer to need or use it. The TC5's travel compacted size is great, but I have more than a few things I regular shoot which are taller - so that versatility and height is just the overall winner - have to say I'd want to rock a TC6. Keep up the awesome work!

As usual, another excellent video. Great tripods, with well thought out “extras”. My personal preference would be for the TC5, like the size/weight. Would be all I need for my GH5. Or BMPCC. Would be nice to win one of these, but as I live in France I guess that’s out. Looking forward to whatever comes next in your channel.

The TC5 would be perfect for travel use as a portrait photographer. Just found your channel the other day, great work man, keep it up!

Good job on showcasing the products and a great video overall. I would choose the TC5 Tripod because of its portability and because I believe it is one of the best tripods in the market.

Compliments for a great, informative video. I appreciate the versatile leg design and features for all three tripods. As my 1st tripod, I would love the TC6 for its extra height and 8 kg. capacity to shoot landscape. Thank you for introduction to ifootage.

I'm going to have to say the TC6. What you take along with the extra length is a such a much greater payload. I've noticed that as I've rigged up some of my cameras, after you take into account the cage, monitor, mic and whatever else, it's always best to err on the side of safety. I purchased the iFootage monopod and it is built like a tank! Would love to add this to the arsenal!! Great review as always, thanks!

Hi, I'm a commenter. I like the TC6 better as obviously it is an amazing product and the best value in my opinion. It would replace my current photo tripod that does not have a leveling base and is just too old at this point. Another great video; thanks Gerald!

I must say the TC7 is definitely my favorite due to the bowl top and it’s height perfectly suits me Great informative video as always well done!!

TC7 all the way! I love the fast levelling design and can live without the centre column. Thanks for a great review!

I like the TC6. Portability isn't a priority for me, but I love how low and high it can get for how compact it still is. It is hard to come by sturdy center columns and these look superb!

I’ve been interested in the iFootage since Thomas Heaton gave a mini review of it. Thank you for the side by side. It is helpful. I like the TC-5.

I'd go with the TC6. I actually was eyeing it before this video, so it was great to see your opinion on the three. Thanks for the amazing content!

Great review and showcase of the tripod family Gerald! All the tripods look great (and the price is good too compared to other well known brands) but for me I would go with the simplicity and sturdiness of the Gazelle Fastbowl. Yes its larger, so more difficult to carry, but looks like it would handle a slider really well and I would use it for that purpose mostly. Love how easy it is to swap the bowl on that one as well. Thx for the video! :)

Good video. I have been looking at these. Has been difficult to find in stock but maybe that gets better soon. I would have to go with the TC5. Fits how I roll. Thanks for sharing.

I love the quality and thoughtfulness. TC6 seems the best combination of features by a hair over the TC5 ... for me, anyway. However, for anyone who has serious space problems, the TC5 edges out the TC6. Please let me win and send me a TC6 !!! Also, I clicked the thumbs up button 101 times.

I would love the tc5. These all look so solid. I almost purchased the monopod but I’m really digging these tripods

I’ve been eyeing the tc5 for a while because of traveling/portability! Thanks Gerald for this giveaway!

They're all intelligently designed and a step above the competition. Great video, making comparisons clear, clean, and precise. I'd like the TC5 so that I could attach my Ronin S to it, under some circumstances.

Decent video on some pretty good looking equipment. I would probably prefer tc6 for the height. Keep up the good work 👍

Oh, and ending with the "modeling?" of the tripods had me rolling.

When I saw your monopod video I tried to order the carbon fiber one ut was sold out everywhere. I ended up ordering it directly from iFootage it came directly from China fairly quickly in about 3 days. I love my C180 monopod Thank you for the great recommendation !! As far as the tripod I would get the TC7 for the simplicity and quick setup.

First, as always awesome video! Easy to understand, quick and useful. ABOUT the tripod, if I'd have to pick one up, Definitely the TC6 ! I already have a travel tripod and I need something a bit bigger and stronger, and the possibility to put the center column upside down is so cool for product photography and food photography. No need to bring multiple light-stand and pols at the client's place, just this tripod, a nice window with natural light and BIM an over head shot! Finger crossed !

TC5 is my favourite here. Great for travel and as I’m currently looking for a travel tripod it’s the most attractive to me currently. Great vid and thanks as always for being factual whilst entertaining 👍

As always, excellent video! After being away from photography and video for 1.5 years (sold all my gear with the intent of buying new within a couple of months... did not work out as planned), I'm finally back in the game, fully loaded up on Undone info!

I really like that you have commented on Lunascope's GMV Studio Light review. Justin's personality is awesome I am is 203rd sub, hopefully he sticks with it. That was the 1st video I had watch of his and subscribed half way through. He is probably appreciative of having you commenting. I have purchased SL-60 setup and is coming tomorrow. I have been taking my time of getting everything setup to really start up an official KZread channel. I like your approach and have been referring to your videos a lot. I have three iFootage products, the 1st thing I purchase was the iFootage M1 III Mini-Crane which I will be doing a usage video on after I finish my studio setup video (channel launch video). I use the iFootage Cobra 2 Strike A150S for most everything, even a remodeling project for our home to hold a laser level (Crazy ah) I also have a video in the works for that iFootage product. But the other item is the iFootage Shark Mini Complete with all available options. Yes of course a video in the works for this iFootage item as well. My idea is going to be doing product usage videos (1 year usage). But I have been eying up the Wildbull T7 for use with the slider. But for a regular usage tripod I would prefer the iFootage TC6 because of versatility and add it to my iFootage collection and usage videos. I do forensic videos with my career for manufacturing equipment and I have a use case that would enable me to position my GH5 at 180fps into the equipment safely. With the way the legs will support the camera from below it will create a better angle for a informative top down shot. Being selected would be "awwsome…." and lower my investment cost for the use. I am an iFootage patron for sure, great products all around. You were totally correct about tripods being an investment and paying a small amount more for a tripod and other products can be worth it, if achieved selectively. Thanks for you time creating videos I always get something out of them every time. Accept for using SD cards or the Ninja V for the GH5, you did a great job on explaining compression. I have the Ninja V in my B&H cart, from your link, waiting for me to finalize my decision or to just wake up without the "G.A.S." pains. LOL. Please keep providing good videos you have a great delivery, your editing technique definitely contributes to that.

Also it will be quicker to attach head to slider. But I like TC6 more for its versatility :D
