I came into the comments to see if anyone else had noticed.

Just discovered this channel and loved this video! Might I suggest matching your VO volume of your beauty shots, to the rest of your dialogue. Also, regarding the water test, I feel like it doesn't represent the vibration reduction that carbon fibers are known for. The way you're hitting it with that pole, of course the lighter tripod will be moved from impact. Instead, I would suggest dropping some sort of weight in between the two tripods, then compare the movement of the water and how fast it settles. OR set up the same camera on both tripods and drop the weight, then slow down the footage. Maybe for a future test. Looking forward to more videos!

Thanks! 👍 Good call. I was trying to think of a good way to test it. I guess I was thinking of accidentally kicking or bumping the tripod during a shot. Maybe next time.

I just got the carbon fiber version 3 days ago and I am more then impressed. The leg clamps are a blessing as it makes you open it in no time. It is compact, light and sturdy (even more when you don't pull out the fourth legs). It holds my A7RIII very stably. I also love the carrying bag. Perfect for the traveler that I am. Regarding the head, I took it off and put the PD universal adapter and third-party head. This is by far the best tripod I have ever owned (I also own a Gitzo and Manfrotto). Yes, it cost a lot but normally you own a tripod for a long time; much longer than your camera.

Awesome! I'm pretty sure I'm going to break down and eventually buy the CF version. I'm still not ready to drop that much on a tripod yet. I very much enjoyed having it around, I was really sad to send it back.

Thank you for this !

I have the aluminum tripod and I'm really happy with it. Used it 6 times in the last two weeks, and it's been a pleasure. Very stable, easy to use and carry. Shooting with a D850 in poor light, so a bad tripod would be a problem. If you actually walk around with a tripod every day, I can see over time how less weight from the carbon fiber model would be a benefit. But if you only dream about walking around a lot and actually use it only occasionally, saving $250 and still getting an awesome tripod is a no-brainer.

@rynfilms

Well said! They're both great but how much is the extra weight savings worth for you? That's going to be a decision everyone has to make for themselves.

Actually, the glass of water fell down before from the carbon fiber tripod because it's "stiffer" than the aluminium one (and it's a good thing). Vibrations were absorbed by the aluminium tripod, the tripod was moving instead of the glass of water. This means you'd get blurry images. ;-)

The test does not convince me. The baton does not hit both tripods at the same time and in the same way. In addition, carbon is totally resistant to water while aluminum can suffer and oxidize if we put it in a river for certain photos. Weight and consistency are not the only reasons to choose the carbon model.

If the aluminum gives more than the carbon fiber, wouldn't it absorb the blow from the broomstick more? Meaning less motion is transferred to the cup, and ultimately hold the cup longer than the carbon fiber?

Good video, thanks. Your noise gate attacks too fast to the point that it's distracting, though!

Wouldn't beat a dead Aardvark with either one! I own one of the very early PD Alu tripods and from a design standpoint, I love it. It's beautifully designed, elegant and nearly useless! It's still in it's bag in it's box with tags attached, and I am still using my old aluminum tripods every single time, in the studio or the field. Of course, as a disclaimer: I have to add that I began my photographic journey carrying around 15-20lb (est.) three part leg, wooden tripods with wingnut compression clamps and cast aluminum & brass heads along with, a 5 x 7 Deardorff view camera or larger, along with film loading bags, dark cloths, extra magazines and lenses. The lightest element carried was my Weston II light meter! So, when I'm out and about today, I don't quibble over an extra 2 pounds when I know I have a very stable base for my cameras! I just attach a few Helium filled balloons to my pack and I hardly notice the extra weight (that's a joke BTW) 🤣 In all seriousness though, I have been a somewhat overly critical reviewer of PD's gear, but from the standpoint of this photographer I don't see where overly elegant design (worthy of MOMA recognition) serves any purpose in the field but looks AMAZING in a high production value music video of an advertisement! And to ape many other comments: THE BLOODY PRICE TAG! And, I still haven't seen a PD in real-life in the field among a group of serious photographers.

Stiffer carbon fiber transferred the energy of the broomstick with less loss than the aluminum.

I think if you put two cameras same set and recorded a video on how the shutter and hit it with a stick or air blower.

Is the leg releases are plastic or metal?

Carbon Version is soooo expansive :(. It’s almost 1,8 more expensive than the aluminum one. When back packing every grams is important. However the price make it insane. I do prefer to carry 290 grams more than to spend almost 300€. It’s almost 1€ per gram 🤪. Also I would prefer to not have the mobile mount in the central column. Instead of that they should have put the hexagonal wrench inside there. Having the wrenches on one leg is a possibility to lost it easily. Receiving my aluminum one tomorrow. I hope I will not be disappointed while hiking.

Did you grade this footage? It looks so flat... 😬

The glass of water test has a lot of flaws in this experimental design, such that this would never be accepted by any science journal. The exact placement of tripods on the ground, the exact placement of the cups and the exact amount of water in each cup, the moving broom handle was not symmetric on both ends, and it's unlikely that it hit both tripods in the exact instant in time. The tripod that got hit a fraction of a second earlier would absorb much more energy. And the list goes on. Furthermore, you'd need to do this test at least 100 or 200 times if you have this lack of precision. So although the thought of testing was good, I'm not impressed with the rigor of this test. It may well be that your test showed the truth, but I'd need more evidence. Because the Aluminum tripod was heavier, that probably resulted in more stability. In general though, carbon fibre is stiffer, lighter, and more weather resistant, corrosion proof, scratch resistant, and stronger than aluminum. The look better, and they feel better. Carbon fibre has 5X the strength/weight ratio of aluminum, which is why they are stronger and more rigid than aluminum.

I think it depends on how serious you are about photography. Carbon vs. aluminum? Carbon wins..easily. If you shoot landscape...there is only one option...carbon. It is simply stiffer than aluminum...not even a close contest. I'd take a star off the PD because of the bag. If they made room for a head to be attached in the bag...then 5 stars.
