What is going on everybody welcome back to. This episode of G for outdoors I'm going to review. Another product a product. That I've been wanting for quiet. Some time it's not the exact product. You watched my shopping video. You know I would rather have had the phone scoped but. They don't have the exact. Iwant right now, so I'm gonna hold off on. They haven't released production on. It so I've got something. That I've been wanting for a scope. That way when we're out targeted shooting we can bring you along. And show you the actual shots as. They happen so let's get in. And we're gonna talk about the hookups 20 wells here's a little story about two friends. That came together we started up a YouTube just to talk about. Whatever run about catch a big bass smashing them cats from review videos is just making you laugh as. We got guns we got knives. We got fishing we got. Everything you like so hit. That subscribe button we're in the outdoors doing things. We love we're talking its ours girls green grass. And guns some interesting about. It fits smartphones. And tablets it fables. Another weird thing about. This is it's designed. And intended for adult use only. Iknew why kids can't use. This it's I mean it's not like kids don't want to look at the Stars. Or magnify their own blood. Or scope it's a little weird let's dig down into. All right so here we are with the box for the hookups 20 let's open. This thing up or attempt too anyway. That is a nice box for it Carson designed in New York but as with Apple made in China.

All right that's a nice bowl case sometimes. Ithink people overspend. Or over produce their boxing I would much rather. Something just come in a brown cardboard box. Imean it's a nice case I'll take the case but. It comes to packaging I think. You waste a lot of money in packaging instructions for you, so I'm not. Even gonna use that we're just gonna set. That aside for now and dig into the case so. We have a Carson case let's open. One solid piece quick reference guide let's not use. It lets's try to get away from using any guides. This thing is supposed to be super simple to install. And hook up we will find out for ourselves so far I'm doing pretty darn good talk about the stability.

And quality of I feel like. Anything has gonna break. This was $50 so I'm. You know for $50 you do expect quality out of. Something this size. We hope so far everything is pretty good plastic it's got a really good spring on here. What goes around your eyepiece your phone gets held in right here spring-loaded. This is just friction with a cam lock on. It so your phone goes in here so real quick let's just see. It actually adapts to. Any phone what fits but my camera is on the opposite side with a screw. All the way over it screws. All the way over to hold okay so let's put. This in here properly so first thing I pretty sure. You want to do is line. You guys aren't getting any of. This is you well let's just turn. And show you what's going on so without. You know I didn't open up the quick reference guide.

Anything I just slapped. This in here and hoping I'm doing it alright so with the adjustment screw on the back. You just want to get. All four of those dots. All four of these clamps in there. And make it looks just about right so. Where is that cam lock. Yet it's already locked in see we're good to go we're good to go already maybe alright there. We go that's pretty easy alright let's hook. It up to a telescope. And see actually this thing works. And again I am hooking this up along with. You guys this is my first time so. You have these clamps here on the back. You just open these up. It adjusts itself to the eyepiece hopefully so let's put. It on there it does so let's squeeze the grips put. It on the eyepiece and okay so obviously it's not wanting to go sideways there's too much tension on. We will adjust this to find on the wrong way. You probably need to come down a little bit no probably need to go up a little bit there. We go there we go let's lock. That in their figure out which way.

We need to go again let's focus. This in to see anything happens. Nothing let's go back to video. We need to go down just a hair no. You go up alright this thing's gonna be finicky to get adjusted. Everything tells that much alright let's lock. That well it's got plenty of jet of adjustment left to right. And then let's move the magnification to 25 to make. This a little bit easier on. Everybody alright I'm starting to see a starting to see. What we're doing here let's go up. And then it needs to shift. One direction or the other we're getting there. Now we're not let's try. And get there so I have a circle yeah. This is kind of pain to get adjusted. All right that's a little disappointing all right so. What I'm figuring out is my phone is too heavy for this. It on there nowhere to go.

It just came out of position so. It on there you know. It comes up just fine but as soon as. Ilet go there's just too much weight on my phone for this thing to stay steady so. Igot my phone out of my case it's the first time it's ever been out of the case. All right so I turned. It upside down so that the weight is. More on top it's not falling over anymore so. Ican pinch in and zoom in on. That change the focus a little bit see it's gonna fall over again. These clamps here just are not tight enough that's. Something I'm not agreeing with. All yeah this clamp is just nowhere near tight enough to. What it needs to be seen. If it's held up to where it's supposed to be. It works just fine and then as soon as. You let go yeah I have to say I'm unimpressed I'm very unimpressed. It the Carson hookups 20 no bueno I'll tell. You it's something I sure didn't want to do $$5060. Something like this thing to stay on the camera the springs I'm just.

These springs right here are not strong enough to stay on there. If you've ever used a spotting scope. You know how precise. That your eyes have to be in line with. That glass in order to see properly through. One of these things just the weight of my phone just keeps dragging this down. It wants to come off I've taken the rubber eyepiece off of here so it's actually clamping on to a steel piece right here there's just not enough force in. These clamps to hold an iPhone 7 there may be other products out there. This will hold up but no way am. Igotta take I really wanted. It to work because the money. Ithought it would up but. It's just not we're really good the hookups 20 no anyway sorry for the bad news guys thanks for sticking around. This episode of g4 outdoors. You want more product reviews like. This I'm not going to hold back it's not a good product hit. That like button hit the subscribe button leave a comment down below.

If you've had one of these tell. Me of your experience on them otherwise I'm going back. And I'm going to go to the phone scope. And hopefully that works so have a good. One I'm out of here girls green grass.

Outdoors thanks for joining me today hey. If you've been a long time watching the show. You know we tested a cool device called the hookups which adapts your iPhone to your spotting scopes. Or your binoculars well the good folks at Carson came up with. They addressed all the issues. We had with the first set of hookups. They got the hookups 20. And it's super cool we're actually out here in the field. And the beautiful Pacific Northwest testing it today we're looking for elk. We didn't find enough but come on over here I'll show. This cool rock we found. And uh there's a face on. This rock outcrop over here. You can see that's uh that's a good ways away that's way out over there so. This is the Carson hookups 20 stick around. And I'll show how to install. How easy it is to use well first the Carson comes in. This a very nice case. Ireally like this case it's pretty rigid it's not rigid hard clamshell but it's pretty rigid so. It protects it's foam lined inside it's a very nice case. This little piece right here is for the lens spacer that's a storage spot. You don't use it with our setup.

This works with the hookups works with. Any iPhone all of your smart phones. That are reasonably sized not big giant phablet installing the hookup is pretty simple, so I've got Eli's iPhone right here first it's a matter of just inserting the phone into the mount it's got a little pull tab here, so we're gonna open. That up just like, and we're gonna insert the phone into. And then that securely clamps over the phone. This bottom part is spring-loaded. And then this part here is adjustable for the height so. You want to Center at the lens in the aperture opening there. That by scooting your phone around. One of the very cool things. That Carson did is they introduced. This little micrometer adjustment for the left-right so.

You can just turn this just like. You would a micrometer. And adjust and down that's that's super handy so as a lock mechanism here so. You Center it centered. You lock that down. And then the grip is way better. Then the original hookups so. We just make sure our phone is flat. And square and then. We just hook it up to our optic. It clamps really well so. We can actually film in landscape mode like. You always want to do people so. You can share it on social media without having those annoying fuzzy bars on the side so always film. And landscape and we're going to go ahead. And turn this back on. It installed you make your final adjustments since. Imessed with that I'm going to adjust. This a little bit and tweak. It a little bit left. And right until our picture gets good.

And centered and then. Once it's centered. And it's uniform then. We just zoom in a little bit to eliminate the round edges. And then let's see we can find our face again there's our face right there in the center the cool thing about. This is as I can sit here. All day long and look at. And share it with Eli to. You guys can be looking through the same spot scope at the same time. You can do all without pirate eye fatigue it's its just awesome it's a great thing so. This is also really handy. If you're at the range. You can set this up on your spot. And scope for looking at your target so from 300 yards away. You can zoom in if you're shooting even a twenty-two to twenty-three bullets. You can still see the impact so it's a very cool deal the Carson hookups 20. They addressed all the concerns it's really inexpensive the price is right down here check. It out big thumbs up from. Me at Fire Mountain outdoors Bob's got. One loves it too hey folks.

You can't take back a bullet you'd never ever want to wish. You could so always follow the four basic safety rules. And we'll see you out in the field thanks for watching you.

So taking a look at rangefinder case pretty innovative little pouch. Ipicked up not too long ago. We have done other reviews of the Badlands by no case. We had as far as to 1015 binoculars ooh. This range finder case which I've been looking for a good quality. Something durable my rangefinder couch. That came with my rangefinder felt apart long time ago so. Ihaven't really had much right off the bat. You can see that it's fairly little profile the back of. This forgets what they call. This material but a pretty heavy-duty material. Either run a big belt through. Ican't run it horizontally vertically. Any number of ways they also have. These little plastic foot deals so. Ican take this off. And play it on like a pack strap. It would fit on Tamale sweaty anyways. You can kind of arrange. You want to stick this on the side of your pack. Or attach something else so right off the back. You can see it has there's no zipper. Or velcro or snaps. They basically have the zip no pouch here which they'll grab. This little lever you open. You just basically grab. This little pull tab. You can open it up there's no not much noise associated with. It's a magnetic closure. It actually works pretty well to seal up dust dirt sand moisture things like. You open you get full access to the pouch so.

One has a like lrf 900 rangefinders it's basically designed to just pretty much. One of those rangefinder. Iusually keep a spare battery in. This little spare 9-volt battery. And here there's a pretty clever little lanyard it's just made out of like shock cord comes with a little clip deal at the end which is. Something they probably should incorporate. Iknow case anyway so. Ikeep my rangefinder tethered to the pouch basically just enough room drop the minoan. Or the Ranger program their keeps. Everything pretty well secured pretty happy with. This pop so far only used on a couple bucks but it's a typical badlands manufacturing quality. They are made in Vietnam but. They have pretty good stitching the pack clock pretty nice component kit pretty good value as well.

Hey guys hey don't my name is Corinne you're watching hero art outdoors so. Iwant to do a real quick video a. While back, I did a video about. What I wear when I'm hunting up in Alaska. Iwanted to address. Some things some issues. That I've had it kind of revolves around. What I'm wearing right so in Alaska there's really not a lot of like static hunting like there is in the lower 48 like. Some like tree stands stuff but it's mostly. If your black bear baiting or. Whatever but a lot of the hunting. That you're gonna be doing your gonna be covering ground going up. And down hills and it's basically you're. Either exerting yourself. And you're overheating or you're sitting down a glass in for a. You know you can go from really hot to freezing your ass off. And like you know no time at. What ends up happening is you're constantly doing this kind of like dick dance away where's my rangefinder where's my binoculars. You see an animal something you don't want a pair of binoculars flopping around on a lanyard.

And stuff so maybe I'll tuck them in my jacket zip. And then you're walking then you're like hey look. Something down there so you're like trying to zip your jacket out get your binocular so lift your binoculars out but your rifle slings over its you're like so. Ihave to do that so basically I've always been dealing with. This kind of like just really unusual like remember. Where my stuff's at. You know like I have like say a rangefinder. And you're into a belt loop put in my pocket. And then I'm trying to get. It out so anyway a couple weeks ago. Iwas down at Homer. And a buddy of mine had we're sitting out there just looking at boats. And stuff I was like. How far do you think. That one's out stuffed. What we're talking about. You know just like ranging it with the eye. And my buddy's like hey. Igot a rangefinder.

That little thing over there so. What he had was what are. These uh Badlands packs. Ijust picked one up for myself so. This bag is cold I had to look. It up to figure out what's called its Badlands bino X our camouflaged binocular rangefinder case with shoulder harness. Iguess that's what they call. It stuffs now I've seen. These things before Badlands has been around for a little. While making backpacks. Inever really I've seen like people using these on hunting and stuff but I've never actually got to like use. Or look at one up close. Irealized how much. This thing would just be awesome for just hunting and just a lot of different stuff up here in Alaska so real quick it's basically strips. This straps around your shoulders. And then there's these little plastic buckles. You guys have watched. Anybody like kind of gear review videos.

You probably know I feel about. These so this is definitely. One of those things. One of these breaks. You could always tie. It off it's not a big deal but anyway it's pretty lightweight it's not super heavy. It is pretty bulky as far as its like. It would sit outside of like your chest but the nice part about. You know everything in there you're gonna need your buy knows your rangefinder. That stuff you need to pull off a jacket. Whatever put a jacket on. You just pull this whole thing off stuff your jacket in a backpack. And then put this thing right back on. And everything's still right out there to get to pretty quickly so. This is kind of near it's got. This big front pocket. That comes down and it's got magnets in. It just straps right back in so no loud velcro no zippers.

Nothing like it just goes down. You pull out your binoculars it's on a bungee kind of lanyard. And stuff and I'll show. When it's actually on so. That goes in there and it's pretty like a pretty nice. You know I mean like snap it's probably got like three. Or four like pretty strong magnets in here that's. You know keeping it shut. And then down here this little pocket. You open that up boom your range finders right there it's also on a little bunny bungee lanyard so alright. Ineed to range something out alright cool. It back in their shut. And you're good to go so that's your main pockets like the top. And the bottom and that's got smaller ones in here right. It stuffs with I have a lot. Ithink so are a bunch of. These ones a bunch of like latex gloves for like for skinning and then over here. Igot my have a lawn knife so hypothetically.

It probably stuffs more stuff. You know some stuff in here maybe a little a couple extra. Or a couple fewer gloves probably a small GPS. They could fit in here try to think. What else but and then on the backside of. You have like this little pocket here. You can stick your hunting license in there. Iwouldn't really stick. Anything else it otherwise it's gonna be basically like sticking in your chest but the cool thing about. It then it's got this little zipper pouch here. And then I thought. This is a pretty cool feature so. It starts pouring down rain which. It never goes up here in Alaska it's got. This like little rain fly thing you can kind of just stick around the outside of.

And it's attached to the bag too so it's not gonna fall off. And you're not gonna lose. And then to get and just stuff. It back in there so. Imean a lot of thought has definitely been put into. This little bag just with a hunting in mind so here. It is on I said so just really nice just having all. This stuff right here so. You can pull it out throws. It back in the biggest thing is to is. When you're stocking up on an animal. You don't have a lot of time to be like dicking around with like pulling stuff out. You know what I mean like throwing it back in your pocket taking your pack off your shoulders a lot of times. Ijust drop the pack. You know all together in a spot throw on the GPS. And then start you know. Imean basically trying to cover ground. And like low crawl and stuff like. That but it's nice having something where. You have everything you pretty much need to go.

You know I mean like pull off your stock. You don't have to worry about. You know going in and out of big bulky. You know hunting packs. And stuff to get the stuff out but. This so far it sticks out on. You, so I'm looking forward to trying this thing out on. That coat or the Kodiak brown bear hunt. That I'm doing later on the spring stuff, so I'll probably do. Another video out there on. It to see how thing works out but I'm kind of really looking forward to trying this out. And actually on a hunt.

Everybody welcome to camp we'll first light outdoors we're just going to show. You around our camp here we're on the Mississippi River cutting this weekend as. You can see we got a. Few different Kent School in here. This little tent here right -. You are right just actually. One set up this is the koalas out back ten larger. One of the two models great little Kent come on over here we're actually using this is a drying tent we've got a little heater going in here plenty warm. And we're drying over waders. Some socks stuff hanging up in there so that's. What kind of we're using this tent for man let's head over to the camp kitchen here so let's do. It quick we just got done making lunch. We just got cleaned up here but. This our camp kitchen. Ido have we do have screen walls for this tent from the summer but. This time of year the solid walls come in real handy to keep the wind out. And also with the stove going and stuff in here. It stays nice and warm so. This is our camp kitchen serves. Is very well and then right behind. Yet is the Cabala's a lack neck I'm sorry. This is the ISQ it's part of the alack neck series but. This is the isq of the individual sleeping quarters actually let's um let's walk around to the just kind of do a walk around here at the tent.

We select via from the outside first here's two of the six pots. Each person sleeps and that's die sq with individual sleeping quarters. This side of ten only has a two pods. Because a stove obviously. This build pipe coming out there is in the center there. One here on the end but then on the end here. You also notice we have a window there real nice. They got the vinyls on them so. You get up the sunlight in. You can open up the vinyl towards screen it's warm out great feature also on. You can see here you have a stove on there's. This protective fly it's got the protective material. That prevents it from burning embers fall out of the stovepipe right image so nice feature run off to. This side here's the remaining free pot so. This tent sleeps six people in pods. Even have more room inside the jam. You needed to put somebody inside but. You can also see this side sq2 of the same windows up there so alright let's check out the inside we'll start right here with the vestibule.

This is an add-on you can do. And the ten actually comes with two pods. You look at buying one of these tents. It comes with two pods does not come with the vestibule. It does not come with the roof panel. It does not come with the ground tarp ground club. That goes inside the tent the floor liner that's. What it's called but the vestibule here is a nice additional add-on to the tent. It can be open you can use the corners of the door. You can use the entire front as a door so based on your wind so. It up for today so come on in we've got a piece of carpet to fit in here so kind of click. Some dirt and so doesn't. All get in the tent so nice big windows. These windows don't have the vinyl but it's got the no-see-um mesh good ventilation good windows. This open here good quality material in. These tents I really hold up well good herbal products come on in.

This is anima messenger, but we've been camping out. Now for a couple days. This tent can be either use the poles. You see right here you can suspend. It from a tree but this is an empty pod just so. You can see it looks the back panel in here does open up there's no ventilation. Each pod has each pod has got additional vents up here they're. All closed because it's getting down into the 20s at night, so we're trying to contain as much heat as possible so. Most of them end up looking like. This got seriously a bag at the end closed. You can close the pods off there's a screen. And its own door and then the wall of the tent door so. These pods are actually designed to. You can go out and set them up on their own. And use them as a solo tent type of thing so nice tent. This is our cylinder stove. And with developer attachment. It performs very well. We use on soft wood pellets of pine pellets. We found that the super premium pellets seem to work the best last night.

We had no issues we started at about 8 o'clock at night. And actually you look down in here that's. Many fellows what we got left after running all night so it's just a little bit down the bottom there, so we'll top. This back offs tonight. And get her fired up but great stove keeps. Is nice and warm that's our tan thanks for joining us have a good day god bless.

Hey guys look we wanted to do a quick video it's been a almost a couple weeks since I've uploaded had a lot of family stuff going on. And just been taking care of people so but look. Iwanted to talk about. This vinyl harness and actually I've I've been holding off on getting a vinyl harness for a long time. Because honestly the way. Ihunt believe I don't use binoculars a lot. Ilike to stay really light minimal gear. Ifigure you know on my rifle I'm packing something that's got up to the nine power magnification. Ineed to look at something some people will say oh. You should be pointing your rifle to look at stuff yeah. Idon't know when I'm up in the mountains. Ilook over a thousand yards away. Some elk I don't think it's too dangerous to throw my rifle up. And have a look at him but anyway. Ifinally decided to bite the bullet. And go with a harness. And a vinyl case one of the reasons. Iheld off doing it too was.

Because for archery hunting I'm really worried. This could get in the way of a shot. You know I was to draw I'm left-handed so. This way and had to. You know shoot really hard to my right I'm worried. That the string could hit. Imay not use this during archery but. Ican definitely use. It during rifle and as well. You know just when scouting and stuff but. Idecided to do I wanted to go with a really compact setup. Idon't have big binoculars. Idon't like big bulky binoculars. Some research and found out about the badlands by no C. And C is for compact so it's a compact case. It won't hold great big honkers I'll get into. Another minute but it's. You know smaller more compact fits tighter against your body.

Than a lot of the other cases. Ialso went with badlands. Ilike the magnetic closure so. This is magnetic right here around. It kind of the magnets are. It just closes up that better. Then a zipper or a clasp. You know I need to take off running or. What no everythings secured. Ihave to worry about. Some class but staying pulled down. Whatever that's just my preference so. Iwent with the vinyl see. And in here I have a set of 8 by 42 Diamondback vortex Diamondback hey by 42s. They will fit in there with the eye cups twist. They fit in there no problem with the eye cups up my son's running a set of Nikon Prostaff 3 s's very by 42 s they'll fit with the eye cups up but. We have a set of Nikon Prostaff 7s 10 by 40 2 s. They wouldn't fit so.

You got to be a little careful. You know you probably go to the store. And take your binoculars with. And make sure they'll fit in there but. This has turned out to be the perfect setup for me I've had. It out on some scouting trips. This winter pop these out check stuff out put. It right back it also has a little zippered pouch in here. You could probably put maybe your licenses. Something in there's not a ton of extra room at. And then on the sides there's kind of. Some little MOLLE webbing you could probably put a little compartment on there for your wind checker. Something like that of course it's fully adjustable. You can see the back it's got nice comfortable. This a couple weeks ago. Iwent up looking for some elk. Ihave my backpack over. Nothing was buying and her pinching it was very comfortable.

And my sternum strap came across right above. All worked out really well. Another feature these have. Iwas gonna take them bow hunting with. They actually have a little hanger here. You can hang your D loop off of course. It won't work during the video. You can hang your bow hands-free. You could glass and then just grab your bow again. And you're off and running so. Iprobably like when I'm bow hunting I don't see myself wearing these. Iworry about the whole string thing but at least ask. Something there that would work for someone. That was going to boho so again Badlands buy no see the cs4 compact it's really working out well for us. You guys take care of we'll talk soon.

Hey guys its Mike with. Ireview gear calm in the mountains of central Utah again it's. Where I call home and. Iam up here taking a look at. And using the vortex high country tight tripod it's a lightweight tripod. That I got this year just for a couple backpacking trips I've I'm going to go on I've got. Some heavier duty tripods. That have the big you know heads on them. That stabilize the spotting scope really well but. Ijust wanted something smaller. That I could backpack with. And I kind of thing. This is the ticket I've got. This Swarovski 22 60 by 60 v spotting scope on. It and it seems to be about right for it. Now I don't think this would be a tripod. That you're going to go set up somewhere. And do hours and hours of glassing and be. You know super stable with. It but certainly doing. That when you're back packed in. This thing is ideal for it. Iwant to kind of go over. Some features with. You first you can see. That I've got this back leg of. This tripod even with the body I've got. It lined up if you take. It off of that alignment. And put it in this position. It can get a little bit tippy so it's just about right but you'll have to pay attention to get the tripod set up just right to be able to use. It you can see that it's got a ball head right here hopefully. You can see that which makes. This thing really easy to adjust I'm going to put up a little higher in a minute. And you can see how fluid. It is to scan with that scope with. That ball head it's got. These legs that adjust freely out to.

This point and then with the push of the button. They go out to one. More level a push of the button clear out almost flat. Now the other cool feature about. This tripod it's got. This Center post that. You can use for stability right so. If you raise this up higher it's got a hook on the bottom. You can put your backpack on. And then a little bit of wind really stabilize. It with that weight as well. Though it unscrews so. You can take the centerpiece off lay. These legs clear out flat as I'm going to do right. Now, so I've got that center post screw off. You can see screws off real easy. And those legs lay clear out. And with that that thing is very low to the ground. Because that center column disappears. And now let's say for instance. Ibeen shooting wanted. It down really low you have the ability to take. This tripod down super low. Or if you're laying down.

And spotting or just sitting on your butt. Or whatever you can take. That down super low which. Ithink is a great feature let. Me point out this cool thing as well. If you can see its kind of weird son but. You can see right here. That the way you attach the scope with a quick attaches with a screw on so. You loosen this right here. You just loosen that up. And then the quick disconnect slides forward. And slides backwards also to allow. You to move it forward. And back and get a little bit better angle. Or a little bit better balance. And it's got this pin on the side so. Once you unloosen it. You can slide it back slide. It forwards either direction. It still won't come clear out until. You depress this button. And release it so that's a pretty cool feature on. This tripod as well. How quick connect so. These little suckers really load up. Some features there's. That ball head that. Imentioned earlier right in there. That you can see so it's just got a super nice ball head that's really fluid.

You adjust it just by loosening this a little bit. And then you can easily adjust. It with the with just your hand, so I'm going to try. That right now look at. That I'm set up I just loosen. This a teeny bit it's still snug but. You can see that I can roll. That now in any direction really well pan. It this way panicked sideways tilt. It up and down and it's just got a really smooth adjustment with. That ball head and then just tighten. It back up and it stays pretty stable so. Once again that's the vortex high country really quick overview that's got a pretty good hike to. It too so you can adjust. All these legs out it's got four of them just pretty high so. You can even use this sucker standing up so. It gets high enough to stand up low enough to lay down the legs clear out good ball head it's just a good spotting scope for backpacking but that's about as big a spotting scope but.

Iwas use on it I wouldn't go. Any bigger that's about the big as its going to stabilize. And have any luck with. That Swarovski 65 hope. You enjoyed the review its Mike. If I review gear comm go online. And read more about.

This is anima messenger, but we've been camping out. Now for a couple days. This tent can be either use the poles. You see right here you can suspend. It from a tree but this is an empty pod just so. You can see it looks the back panel in here does open up there's no ventilation. Each pod has each pod has got additional vents up here they're.

It go YouTube / militant Asian here in your unboxing here. We got today a Manfrotto action compact action tripod for DSLR. Or camcorders you know it's quite a lightweight. And small form-factor tripod that's great. You just started out doing photography it's about 50 pounds. Some curries that's why I picked. It for anyway you know it's good for traveling and. That kind of stuff so what's going to unbox. What we got so this is the front of the box which basically gives. You a demonstration of what it looks like tells. You know what type of usage is for on the back. It also shows you why do. You need a tripod you are pick up in store. Where typical places. You can use you know for example there on the side. Some specifications. And features away you know the different knobs. What you can use them for and finally on the other side we've just got. Somewhat's included inside the box.

It gives you a little demonstration what's in there alright so. You just open up the box. Now it's got this little top here what's your block from the side there. And obviously little hook which. You can hang it up in your shop. It does come in a nice and it's like a. What you call it's not a party bag so it's a bad puddy character keep. It protected under strap as well so. You can swing it around your room. You know your are your arm shoulder. You know whatever you are your backpack. You are actually traveling and let's pull. It out of it okay here it's not. Nothing really else in there so. This nice bag with the actual Manfrotto logo on. It there which is pretty cool. And it's a very padded bag. You can see in there but it's. It doesn't feel like it's going to wear. You know degrade anytime soon. Or rip so you do get. That with it so that's a good thing to have.

This which is the Manfrotto imagine. More I'm guessed you should. Some instructions about. How to mount your actual camera there so first open. That up see what we got so Manfrotto imagine. More just tell some basic things on how to attach the tripod to the camera etc to get. That you'll also get. This which is I'm guessing some kind of general instruction. And warranty guide tells. Where to use you know. What to look out for weather etc. And also in the bag is. This thing here which. Idon't actually know. What it is that with. It as well okay so this is the actual tripod itself so. It isn't a tripod where you've actually got the legs attached to the center so. This is actually a separate bit so.

You can actually raise the center but there independently to the rest of the leg there so that's pretty cool. And of course you have the four clasp ler so. You can extend these so. They are very robust poles very decent alloy lightweight. They don't feel too flimsy so. They feel like it's going to break anytime soon so that's always good. And reassuring and if you've got an expensive camera on. It anyway these are like kind of like a rubbery coating material got Manfrotto logo there as well as the black. And red theme this is the actual head of the tripod. And it's meant to have. Some kind of quick-release like special mechanism. We open up that yeah so instead of actually getting a plate. This little cool mom throw almost looks like a bag a badge.

Or a pin something like. That with you meant to screw. This onto the bottom of your camera so as. You can see there is a little screw which. You screw to the bottom of your camera. You DSLR and then that becomes your mount. And then that with your come around. And then you bang it on the end of. This hole here so it on the end there. And then you lock it in place with. That thing but I'm guessing there's. Some adjustments to be made. You know because that's obviously wobbling a. You know until. Iget a proper camera on. It so don't can't really show. You at the moment and but see. Ican figure out here what's not doing so. It can raise this up then so. That what's this time yeah. This is a little picture of a camcorder on. You can see they've. All got a little picture of a camcorder on. It that's got a picture of a camera on. And Oh arty can switch. That from there too there.

And then some stuff not sure. What but I'm no tripod expert guys so. This is actually my first proper tripod about cheap ones from ebay before. What this dude this is a oh. That tightens it so the loose of. And loser that that is there. You turn that way towards the mouth. It actually tightens. It there so you can't actually move. It so that's what a lot of bills. And so just want to figure out. How to make this thing tire don't really get ya maybe. It is a little dial here as well, so I'm seeing if it's. Something to do with. That maybe no not entirely sure. That laws but I love doing the extraction manual maybe to figure out. That works but I'm sure there is a way to tie in a table. You otherwise it would be a pretty enough mode but anyway that's the Manfrotto action camera mount. And so hope you enjoyed my unboxing and quick overview. And don't forget to subscribe but. Ijust show this actually works.

Iwas a bit confused anyway but it's pretty simple so. You put the disc on let's take. It off there so you actually put the disc on there to an SLR there so got. It on my g7 and then. It in here and then the actual weight of the camera will push itself down to make. It flushes and then you just push. That in there and then. It secures it in place. If the camera is a bit loose. You can actually tighten. These which makes it a bit tighter. And then you can its the camcorder mode basically lets. You rotate it from back like. And side to side like. Whereas the camera DSLR mode lets. You rotate it completely different directions so. You can switch you can go. All the way that way. That way you can literally go. You want you know with the DSLR. Most I'll let all the best photo angles by a.

You know let and that's because it's free from. This notch here so. Iwent back there put. It on to the other locks into place. You can get as much free flow. It just kind of just position. You want and then it kind of just sticks sticks there so yeah very cool.

Hey guys welcome back to the channel today we're actually been reviewing the Manfrotto tripod. Iactually didn't know. This tripod existed until my friend David out in California here's a shout out here. Iactually asked him for some advice on what a good affordable tripod would be. This tripod mostly for the GoPro but also as. You guys can see I've got my Nikon DSLR mounted to. And just in a little bit of time. That I've been using it. Ireally like this tripod rig. Because it's not heavy. It folds down really small. And the legs actually just have. These quick clips you know. You just have to pull. This plastic clip up push the leg back in. And lock it back down. It doesn't have any of those like metal circular knobs. You have to twist I've seen. Some of those just look like a total pain but. These plastic quick releases that's actually a pretty nice feature. Now I've got my nikon DSLR mounted like. And what's really cool about. This camera stand this tripod is. You just loosen this circular clamp up. You can actually change the position of the camera so. You can go that direction full 90 out like. And it'll tie in its just three. You twist your thumb three turns off. And it's fully tightened so. You can mount your camera 90 so like. You can turn your camera it's 90. You can point your camera downward. You point the camera upward it's got a full range of motion.

And it's really like. You know two fingers tight. And you're done you can move the camera. Any direction you want. You can mount looks like there's a. You can change the mount to a. You know vlogging camera. You know a camcorder but for now. This is pretty simple. You just press the quick release. And bam the camera comes out so. You pop the quicker. And your camera comes out. And it's got the mountain already on. It so the Manfrotto mount kind of screws into the bottom of your camera. You just leave your tripod here pop. This clip and take your camera with. You need to do a quick. You know take your camera. And take a photo of a situation of. Some sort so that's pretty cool it's got a quick release for the entire camera assembly so. You just put the mount back in. You close the quick-release. And bam your camera is fully tightened.

And it's not going to go anywhere so just a cool quick feature of. And also you can take. That release I just showed. And screw that into a bottom of a GoPro adapter I'm actually filming with my GoPro right. Idon't have one to show. You but basically that adapter. It screws into the bottom of your case. It uses the standard GoPro mouse. It goes from the GoPro mount to a threaded. Ithink it's eighth inch there might be a different I'm not sure. What the threat is it just uses a standard camera thread. It mounts to the bottom of the GoPro mounting system so. You can use any GoPro. Any selfie stick any GoPro accessory. That will allow you to attach your GoPro to the tripod so. This will give you plenty of flexibility. Whether you're using a GoPro like I'm filming with. Or you're using a professional camera like a DSLR.

And it's just overall pretty good setup. This thing knocked down. And show how small the tripod gets so. This tripod only takes like 10. Or 15 seconds to knock down. All three legs it down to a. You know more carry manageable. And curable size this thing's pretty lightweight. Imean with the camera on here you're maybe at five pounds. This thing isn't super heavy so. You could easily throw. This in a backpack like. You know go on your adventure. Whatever and mount. This thing and you take your professional like outdoor nature shots. Or whatnot now for me honestly guys. This will be leaving the garage. Even the house maybe like I'll be using this ad for photo shoots. And stuff but you know I've got a very basic DSLR from Nikon. Iam NOT a professional photographer. Any way just you know for a hobbyist. And wanting to get better shots of the cars. And whatnot you know it's kind of why we stepped up to the DSLR.

We actually just took. This camera out to Europe. And haven't had a problem with. We took like six thousand pictures. Something like that so I'm crazy overall. This set up between the tripod. And the new DSLR I think it'll help. This channel out which is getting some better still shots. And whatnot I don't know. If I'll be filming with. This to be honest guys. Because it's kind of pain to arrange like two cameras to videos. And it's just I'm not sure. Some guys you know. All the things are like tripods. You know professional DSLR cameras. Idon't know I'm not I'm Way. More experienced with the GoPro. Iam with this DSLR camera. One shot it turned out pretty crummy. This was before I had the tripod so maybe try final line will help improve the video quality but I'm just not sure, so I'll probably just stick with. What I know and that's the GoPro.

And using it on our various shots from projects around the place so. This gave some information on the Manfrotto tripod. And the DSLR setup this is from a automotive youtuber. You know some guys may hate the stand but. Ithink for inside shots in the garage maybe stuff out in the driveway. Igo to my photos shoots pot. It would be good for stuff like. That's my opinion. You know like I said other people may not like. This very good this is gonna be a pretty solid setup so. This review gave you guys. Some good information about. This tripod setup you guys are interested in buying one I'll have a link in the description below. You can pick I just hope.

It helped out you guys liked the video give it a big thumbs up. You haven't already subscribed please do thanks. And have a great day

All right so this is a review of the Manfrotto action tripod. Ithink is what it's called it's actually. One of my favorite type of the robot actually is the first expensive tripod I've ever bought. And I'll tell you right. It is definitely worth the money I'm pretty sure. If you've ever bought expensive tripods. You already know this worth the money always buy cheap stuff like. One over here like this piece of crap but. It does the job you know. One thing I do realize. Ilike the great about. This particular tripod is. This little thing back here there's a little wheel. When you're recording these tomb-like. This is a Canon t4i with a 18 lens let's go turn. These actually one thing I do like about. It too which is nice then. You can go into vertical position fairly easily. You have to do is actually a little switch over here so. You can unlock lock let's see. It just twists around pretty easily then. You can just lock in place. It locks pretty good. You want to go vertical. You have to do is you just flip. This over and then. You unlock it again rights twisting it down. And then you can go on to the side first twist. You turn this back. And then actually as. We use vertical very often. And there you go there. You go see doesn't require. Some Rockets anything you can lock.

This in place and there. You go banger separate vertical then. You just push this here to lock. It in place and boom so. You want to unlock you can do. This round better and lock. It again now you're. All set to shoot vertical take vertically taking some pictures here. You want I want to do show. Iwant to show this is good. This does go a bit higher I'll put specs in the description there'll be a link to the best price in the amazon case you're interested in. That let's go one thing I will say is. This is not designed for like a heavy DSLR, so I'm pretty sure. You had a like a Canon mark 3 ohs you're definitely not gonna want to use. This tripod this is really meant for like a Canon t4i. This is actually I'm actually at the weight capacity limit. This lens is so hidden about 5/8 so. This tripod is goes up to about 5 8 5 foot 8 inches tall. Or not 5 8 5 8 probably 5 for baby so the other cool thing. That makes it so awesome. This right here this little thing right.

This thing because this one here. You lock it in place you're gonna show. You a little better the coolest abdeslam the best part of fun babies selling here. Imean sup see with your eye. This trip I mean take a look at. You do is you flip. This open there you can put. This back on boom just like. Ican use this interchangeably base. We force me to use Manfrotto tripods. You get good quality tripods kind of hardened it's not. That expensive boom tripod. Ithink about it for 60. Or 70 bucks but let. It down is pretty lightweight I'm going to go walk. This real quick there. We go there it gives. You an idea of how much. It breaks down you want to make a break get a little smaller profile. You can take this out okay there. And then boom perfect so.

You can see this breaks down there'll be. More specs of the exact weight. Everything you see here but. You have any questions please feel free to leave a comment. This is the Manfrotto action tripod oh. More think it does come with a little carrying case. You ever take this out but. You wanted to just come with. This in case you want to know the accessories. It comes with that's pretty much. And no coast comes basically a tripod. This bottle piece here. This alright thanks for watching this is Ryan salon signing out I'll see.

And a Retractable video fixing pin Is really easy to use with the orange security pin lock to ensure.

That your camera remains very well fixed to the pan head. And tripod In my opinion for panning and tilting in video mode is not such smooth such a true video head but I’ts ok. You are on a budget. And like to work around with firm hands Here are shown. Some features of the tripod. You can unlock the tree legs. And put them all horizontal The tripod have Large foam grips for all-weather use Compact. And lightweight for travel Perfect for macro photography with its reversible head.

That can furfill all needs of a casual/intermediate photographer If.

More on videography. You should go more for the video pan heads. That vanguard provides Thanks for watching comment. And ask for opinions give. Me a thumps up you liked the review.

So tripods aren't something I'd normally get. That excited about but. Irecently got the Vanguard's alta pro 263 AP. And it's pretty good. That comes with this with carrying case which is a pretty decent quality so the set the author pro has a different head. You can get on it sell a minion. It weighs 26 kilos and. It can take up to about 5 kilos maximum height is 177 centimeters so. It goes pretty high has a quick-release head which has a to. Anything on it what's quite nice as. It just snaps back in. And then it's locked in. It has several spirit levels. And it has a really nice smooth turning and tilting action. You can change the resistance by turning the handles. They can basically till every which way. You can lock it in tightly. And it's really solid as. These feet that go from rubber to spikes. If you want to stick. It in the ground outside so it's full height that's pretty high of. Some nice little locking mechanisms but there are a couple of things. That make this Chrysler really special firstly. You have these buttons on. Each of the legs presses them in the leg will then skip out to a wider area so.

You can get pretty low to the ground. And then they just lock back the next time. You reason down the thing. That makes this tripod really special for me. Unless you're not much Christs island central column comes completely out then. You tilt it up it's back in lock again. And when you lock. This that is firmly locked in place so. Now you can shoot straight down. You can get right over the top of. Some things so when you're shooting work. When you're shooting objects. You can get a direct vertical shot. You got a hook here so. If you want to put a counterweight on, so I've got my camera on their just hang my other camera on the other side people wait it's a nice sturdy tripod so. Ihaven't yet used. This in a professional environment, so I've got a job on. This week when I'll hopefully be using this.

And maybe a bit of video Bowl so. Imay need to use this nice smooth action here well let. You know how that goes a lot of times before. Ilost my habit of Manfrotto travel tripods I've had. Some heavyweight big ones I've had. Some like plasticy ones they're. All being a bit alright. And a bit bad in other ways. This one just seems really good so but. It seems really sturdy really strong really versatile it's also a budget tripod is 129 quid from Amazon's moment I'll put a link down in the description. If you wanna have a look at. It the tripod that's got. Me excited out tripods sort of saw.

You hi I'm Dave Anderson here at the camera company. And today we have a guest with. Is Mike Kelvin from BAM photo. You go Mike doing good name we're going to talk a little bit about different types of cuts to put on our tripods. And we've got video 3-way. And ball heads here so Mike. You tell each is for and why I would want a different head depending on the type of photography I'm doing not a problem I'll start off here on your left. This is our bridging technology it's. One of our fluid video heads unbelievable performance there's a it's fluid with ball bearings so. This is giving us the best results. You could get meaning. That the stops of the starts are going to be just as smooth as the in between so. We pride ourselves on the different off validity. We can do with this human you're able to pan. And tilt you have fluid drag control here so. You can make it looser. Or tighter so depending on the weight of your camera. You can control the trip the drag. Or the fluid you go in for the pan in. Either way so have your equipment. You can tighten it up so it's not going to just fall forward for instance so it's a really cool feature your users primarily for video yes. It looks like it can hold quite a bit of weight so. How big of a camera can. Iput on you can put. Any DSLR on here that's why this base is so wide. And square actually looks like a bridge for our bridging technology but. It accepts all the different styles of cameras from DSLR on up to the high-end video camcorders so.

You can do a lot of different units on. This the 502 is rated for about 16 pounds so about 16 pounds worth what's a lot of camera in love. Something else to point out about. This our video heads. They have three threadings. Each side this is our easy link adapter so. These features you can have out to the side friction arms. That will actually hold your mic your audio devices lighting anything else your monitors. You can have your equipment off to the side so. It frees up the top of the camera so. You have less weight to extra count around so it's a really cool feature for our video ends so that's our 502 okay Mike. We just got gone looking at a video. We have a 5-3 one term tell. Us about this is our 3-way ed. Ilove our 3-way heads they're very precise. You have very fine movement. You can move around what's really cool about.

One is the handles actually fold in so. That way it folds down to about the size of a lens. You want to take it in your camera bag for easy travel normally. These always stick out. They take up a lot of room so being able to do. That it's a it's awesome. You also have all the bubble levels. You could deal with right here there's three of them so. You know where you're at where your horizon is. Even have friction knobs here's. You can create the frictional tension so again have your equipment. You want to add the friction so it's a lot easier to manipulate your camera equipment so that's our three-way. It very nice for landscape portraits. Anything like that very easy to replicate your shot using one of these. Than like with our ball head. It would be a little bit. More difficult before. That goes work so this would be a good solution for someone who is doing still photography but also on occasion has to do a little bit of video sure. You can do video with. Ireally try to stay with.

One of the other video heads compared to. On the reason is that I'll show. You with the ball head too with. You can actually pan so. You could kind of create your panning with. This but if you're going to be moving it's going to be jumping what's unique about the video heads is today's cameras are so high-tech. They pick up little frictional movements so. You need something fluid to cause. It justice for your shooting you actually get. More workable footage usable footage so using something like. It may work especially for a static. Or just a pan but if you're actually going to be following the subject. Anything you really want.

That fluidity okay and then finally. We want to talk about a ball heads are my favorite held up ball heads use a ball head not. All yes okay they're right. Ilove the ball heads. Ishoot kids I shoot action boards that's. What you really use the bald heads for one. This head right here. You have your camera on. Ilike to use I control the camera. And the focal length. Or the zoom I can kind of manipulate as. Iwant to go I can track a subject so birdie. Anything like that especially those kids. That are running around really easy to track what's unique about ball head is. You could go in any direction.

Any angle you want your camera to go in. You could do that again to the video side. You have three knobs on here. You have one to lock the top portion. You wouldn't up to lock the panning and then. You have a knob here to add. That friction again so have your equipment it's easier for manipulating I could get. Where I'm moving the camera. Icould let go it'll actually stay there. And then I could do the final lock your lock down cell so really easy to manipulate but for video. You could do that pan again but the hardest part is making sure. That your level so. You don't want the horizon going like. This so that's the main part for shooting video. And why you wouldn't want to do. It necessarily with. This head but you would with a fluid video head fantastic, so we've looked at three different heads of video head three-way. And a bald head this information is helpful stop in the camera company bring your camera we'll put. You can try it out yourself.

This was helpful follow. Us on Facebook subscribe to our YouTube channel. And we'll see you next video okay thanks Mike thank you.

Hi today we're going to continue our tripod. And head review series. And we're going to take a look at. One photo ball head so let's see. What it can do just over a year ago. We were getting ready for Photoing 2016. We received a large number of products from Manfrotto. What if them was the X Pro Bowl head which has been around for a couple of years. We have been using it ever since. That is the product. We are going to review today the X Pro is a kind of mid-range ball head. It comes in two flavors the first is an RC 2 type base which is. What we have been using and the second is an ARCA Swiss style base which is a bit. More expensive let's start with a build quality in design of the X Pro Bowl head. Most of the head is made out of metal. And feels pretty solid. Although we have discovered. That the knobs and possibly the security lock are made out of plastic.

You would really like those to be made out of metal but. That will probably increase the price of the unit the head is about 12 centimeters tall. Or about 45 inches and weighs about 500 grams. Or 11 pounds it has a max load of 10 kilograms. Or 22 pounds although with front heavy lenses. We will not dare push. It anywhere closes to. This number however for most normal setups. It should be perfectly fine the head has angle markings on the lower part which is a nice feature for shooting panoramas. Another helpful feature. It has is dual bubble level which is really nice and a bit uncommon at. This price level the head also has three knobs a pen lock with a 1/2 wing design a larger ball lock also with a 1/2 wing design. Both of these has ratchet mechanisms and a smaller friction knob on the top. You have a base plate which comes with a single rc2 plate as we've mentioned there is also an ARCA Swiss version of.

This head which within test. We truly love our CE tune. It is the best all-round quick-release system in the industry surely for stills but. We find ourselves using it for video as well. You can check out our video comparing our C 2 to arca-swiss at the end of. This video with the extra bow head Manfrotto decided to change the original base design of the RC 2 do keep in mind. That the plate itself is the same. And NERC to plate who work with. This head try what they have done is to create a different type of security law. It seems to be made from plastic we're not 100% sure. And to be honest we really prefer the original rc2 based security lock design which is easier to use with. One hand and just feel. More secure to you can remove the base plate from the head.

And put the older rc2 base plate on but. You will lose the useful bubble levels so. We would probably suggest against. It lets's talk about actually working with the head. We use the expert ball head on countless shoots over the past year. Or so on both tripods. And mono pods even on the slider. It always worked great. You really do need to be careful not to drop. It with those plastic knobs but other. It is super easy to operate. And basically fun to use compared to. Many other balls and designs. We have tried in the past. We especially like a small friction knob. That there is nothing special about. It but sadly most ball head manufacturers go with a much. More common more annoying internal screw type friction control which. We simply hate you need to do here is turn the friction norm which moves. And clicks or less friction much. More convenient than trying to turn a tiny screw with your nail every time.

You want to change the friction on your ball. This was up to we would probably add numbers instead of dots to the knob just so. We can always go back to the same settings so let's try. And conclude this quick review despite not having any fancy high-end bells. And whistles we keep finding ourselves getting back to the X Pro bowhead. You need a quick and simple way to stabilize your camera. And have a good control over the X Pro Bowl head just does the job the knobs design is not complex but. It works we especially like the friction control. This is almost the exact design. We would like to see in every ball head. And for whatever reason almost no other manufacturers users the X pro ball head like almost.

Any other product we have tested here in the past also has. Some drawbacks as we have mentioned the knobs are made out of plastic. Although there are user replaceable. We do recommend caution. When using them a fully metal version of. This head with the same design. Even for increased price could be a year from Manfrotto. We also prefer the original rc2 based design as. We have mentioned we find it. More intuitive to use. More robust than the new. We prefer the tiny security lock of the original base over. This new push down leaver law minor drawbacks aside for 150 dollars the Manfrotto x pro bowhead is a fantastic product. Some aspects we find it to be significantly better. Than much more expensive heads especially. It comes to the simplicity of operation. And particularly for controlling the friction level which. We find to be a sore spot for a lot of ball heads including high end ones so. That was a look at the X Pro Bowl head.
