  • As Good As Manfrotto and for a Better Price
Size: AD-100 Tripod
Very sturdy and well built tripod. The price is incredible for what you get and is as good as Manfrotto tripods. The fluid head is very smooth and setting up the legs are a lot quicker with only one latch on each leg. It is also very light and comes in a nice carrying case.

  • A perfect storm of everything that's just right for my business.
Size: AD-100 Tripod
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!
Size: AD-100 Tripod
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

  • It's light and quick to get up.
Size: AD-100 Tripod with Ground Spreader
It’s light and quick to set up, and honestly, I don’t have any complaints about its performance. The build quality feels solid and reliable, and it’s surprisingly portable given its heavy-duty capabilities. While I’m not particularly fond of the color scheme, it’s a minor detail considering the price point. Compared to the Manfrottos I’ve used in the past, this tripod offers excellent value for money, and that trade-off is one I’m more than happy to make. ... show more

  • My go to video tripod
Size: AD-100 Tripod
I love the quality and features packed into this tripod. The only thing is that I wish i went little bit lower - closer to the ground. But it was well worth buying. I ended buying another for my b-camera.

  • Ordered 2, one failed
Size: AD-100 Tripod
Okay so right off the bat, I am very happy with this product. Feels very promising for projects to come. The only issue I have is that I ordered two tripods and both arrived, but one was defective. At first I thought it was a spare piece but upon further examination, I noticed the locking knob (not sure if that’s the actual name of the piece) was broken off and I couldn’t remove the baseplate. I would really hate to have to order another tripod being that it’s a Saturday and now I won’t get it until Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully this can be replaced. ... show more
