  • A perfect storm of everything that's just right for my business.
There's so many amazing videos and reviews of this tripod so I'll keep it short from a "How has it helped my video business" perspective. I was using an 15 year old Manfrotto tripod photo legs with a fluid head mounted on top. This upgrade wasn't because it was needed, but more a curiousity of what a proper video tripod would bring (the video company I contract for doesn't need the latest tripods as 50%+ of our work is Gimbals). The SmallRig Freeblazer looked to be a great upgrade because of functionality and price. After buying it and testing it out for several months, the Freeblazer has pretty much it's been the perfect storm in every possible upgrade a tripod user would want. But instead of a cat 5 hurricane in price like some video tripods, it's a been a cat 1 that packs a really hearty punch. I enjoy everything about this tripod. The material its made of, the fluidity, the small controls to tune things, and also the fact I can take my camera off the gimbal and put it right on this. There's a lot of small quality of life stuff that makes this tripod work very well. If there's anything to knock a few points off, it's the plastic used for the locking mechanism, it feels a little cheap/weak in comparison to the rest of the tripod. I'm sure this is one of the ways SmallRig can lower the price, but it feels like it's a problem for future me when it either breaks, or loosens. Though it's such a high composite material there's a chance there will be no issues. It's one of those Cliche "I wish I done it sooner" moments, but the reality is it wasn't really possible. This is a newer product, more recently released, and most of the issues have been resolved. It feels like waiting actually paid off because now we get a tripod that does what $1500 tripod does at 20% the cost. This thing has been amazing, and I'm super happy it's been purchased. It's been a killer business purchase and has already done over 30 events without hitch or issues. ... show more

  • Best one for the money!
This is a big upgrade for me compared to my older Ulanzi video tripod. I used to have a few older tripods from the 90s and 00’s used for photography but I got this tripod for my fx3 I use for YouTube. Compared to my old photography tripods, this feels insanely professional in terms of quality. I think it’s even built better and has better features than an older $500 ifootage tripod. I looked at tons of tripods while shopping equipment for my studio and this seems, by far, the absolute best for the money. I don’t plan on taking it out of the studio but this is amazingly lightweight for it’s large size and would work phenomenally well for semiprofessional videographers who need something sturdy but lightweight enough to take with them on shoots. ... show more

  • Great tripod
I use this to support a BMD Studio Camera. Easy to use. Plenty of stability.

  • Great for sports
This tripod rules! Running a built out a7siii, cage, full monitor setup, v mount with a smallrig 99er on it with my 70-200 or 100-400 and it’s perfect. The fluid head adjustment is incredible and gives the perfect amount of resistance to keep you from being shaky while moving in whatever direction. The tension can also be adjusted which is perfect! It’s most certainly not the lightest set of sticks but it’s absolutely worth its weight in gold when it comes to quality and bang for your $$$. I will buy another one of these before paying more for something else. ... show more

  • Great product
It’s a great tripod for its price. I expected it to be a little smoother on movements. But other than that it’s smooth enough and very sturdy

  • Great for price, Wouldn't trust for professional work
The media could not be loaded. It’s amazing what they pulled off at the price - quick release plates, carbon fiber legs, fluid head, etc. - but the lower price obviously didn’t come from no where, there are random parts that I just wouldn’t trust in scenarios I planned on using the sticks in. Example: the locks are plastic and shaky and the fluid head got stuck in the tightest position first time using it (I loosened the locks as instructed). In conclusion I think it’s amazing for some personal work or as a cam C or maybe cam B in some cases but I wouldn’t trust it on professional run and gun as your cam A tripod or anything like that. I am a “better safe than sorry” type of shooter so take my opinion for what it is. Going to return and bite the bullet on a high budget “buy it for life” type tripod system. ... show more
