    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.

    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! 🤔

    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.

    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?

    Thanks for dropping by mate. Well, I do have a tripod that uses internal tightening mechanism, which is broken. Yes, you can say it's 'easy' and some can be acquired for cheap (like I said, I am a collector), but they are not reliable and often fail. Once broken, it's almost impossible to fix. So, if one to make what you suggested, but with a reliability that a professional can rely on, then it can cost a fortunate. Manfrotto has a carbon monopod that is telescopic with internal twist lock, that thing costs as much as this tripod. But it's a very reliable boom stick for gimbal.

    @@Red35Photography Oh, ok. I didn't know that it is a fragile design. Tbh I never had a broomstick where this mechanism failed. But that explaines why most trypods use external designs. And I thought it is another typical human "everyone else does it like that too" situation that just no one thought about changing it. My mistake.

    @@FelanLP No worry mate, yeah, it's not reliable at all. External design is easy to maintain, clean, lubricate and service. It's also more reliable and can take more load by default. Internal design isn't all that sturdy. It works only if a substantial component is fitted inside the tube. hahaha but never say never, someone may just design something revolutionary that's more rugged, reliable and cheap.
