Looks great. Cheers Simon 👍

Awesome video Simon. I stumbled upon your video of the Manfrotto fluid head and was originally looking for a comparison to the gimbal head. I am pretty new into wild life photography/video from what I normally do and watching your video has provided a great deal of tuition of equipment to use. I Fortunately already have the same fluid head as you... so that made me happy. Thanks for the share Simon.😉👍👍👍👍👍

Nice review Simon . You always inspire me to get out there, not that I need it mind as I am out every day! Thought I was watching Richard Outdoors there for a minute…😉

Thank you, Simon. I've had a TC6 for a while, but really started to want more height. Your review just convinced me, and I've now purchased the TC9. 😃

@@simoneardley I love it. I’ve used it twice in the last three days, and it’s brilliant in a stiff breeze; plus those extra long legs are great on sloping ground. 👍

You just got me subscribed Simon, what with the thumbstick vid and now this! Memories of a trip I did 20 years ago where I lugged a very similar (but aluminium) tripod and a Hasselblad XPan, up Bla Bheinn on Skye. Another great video 👌

Very helpful. I have the ifootage videohead on a benro. The head works really well but have been thinking about an ifootage tripod. Adam Gibbs a landscape photog on Vancouver island did a review of that videohead.

Get an Ifootage Q1S QR plate system for this … YOU won’t be sorry. No more unscrewing heads & wasting time & energy. Trust me it’ll be the best piece of equipment you’ll ever buy.

Good timing Simon been looking for a new carbon fibre one to replace my manfrotto stainless steel one, i was looking at gitzo but they are eye watering and i wanted somthing you can get low down with, also to hold the manfrotto head and a 500mm f4 it looks great and very similar to my manfrotto just i cant get as low down because of the column well you can but its very clumbersome with a big lens on.📸👍

Great review, definitely got me looking now. Can you tell me what the upper leg length is Simon? I'm trying to find a tripod that can fit the LensCoat leg wraps to

@simoneardley

Hi, cheers. The upper leg length is approx 500mm.

Nice tripod Simon. Love that leveling feature but I could never go back to lever locks. Used to catch on everything and drive me crazy so I switched to twist locks. Is that a Shimoda Action 70 bag you are using there?

Cheers Rich, it is a great tripod.

I am also looking for a lighter alternative that will handle the 502AH, I have a Manfrotto 055 Aluminium which has the same footprint as the head, just the size and weight with the head is a bit of a handful. How do you find the overall weight and balance of the TC9?

@simoneardley

3 жыл бұрын

Dont get me wrong Steve, its not a small tripod and with that head on it is never going to be a lightweight setup but theres always a trade off when youre looking for a solid stable work platform. I certainly wouldnt go any smaller for the 502.👍

@@simoneardley many thanks. I guess your right it’s a trade off with that mass at the top of long legs light or heavy, the quick release you recommended is working a treat as I can mount both body and lens foot. Last question what is your view on the Tamron G2 from a quality of the shots. I also have a D500 and am looking at that as my next investment. Thanks for the response.

The bubble level on the top is why I quit using it. Why have it if it's unuseable. I have the tc9. I understand if your head has a level. But what if it doesn't? Completely ruins having a bowl head. You can get another attachment to show level. But it should be on the head where it can be seen.

The bubble level looks like if vanishes under the head, not so useful.

Well spotted but the Manfrotto 502 AH has a built in bubble level so theres no problem on that score👍
