welcome to my unboxing and first look at my new tripod so this is a manf frto
something or other can't remember what it is but we'll open it up got really
good reviews on the uh on the online store that I bought it from so I'm
hoping that it's that it's awesome it's also rated for the for the weight of my
new camera which is the Sony fs700 which is right over there so this will be part
of the whole new setup for lonus Tech
tips that I extremely excited to bring
to you now if you guys have been following my channel for a long time
then you'll probably remember back when I unboxed my Canon XA 10 camera when we
uh when we first upgraded from our ancient Sony like tape camera that we
were using before that and what you'll probably also remember is that I don't
really know anything about about you know AV Equipment at all so me unboxing
these puts me a little bit out of my element but it's okay because guys like
Diesel and cameraman will will help me and uh actually better yet they won't
help me at all they'll just not make it so I don't have to deal with it cuz I
can handle like ssds and computer hardware but when I get into this kind
of stuff I just get confused all right so it comes with a carrying sack which
is nice okay it's like a kid at a candy store
but they're like diabetic so they can eat the candy but it's like still
exciting cuz you know it's a candy store and there's lights and sound and you
know exciting stuff going on okay so there's that so this is a kit it comes
with woo it comes with a fluid head as well as the tripod unit itself I think
it's rated for like 12 lb or something like that and our camera is only about
about 8 lbs maybe I'm thinking kilograms I don't know man okay it's just kind of
there's probably some kind of feed on the bottom here that are making it hard
for me to get it in and out of the bag there we go all right so there's our
there's our baller new tripod so let's
start with unlocking it which is done
like this it's got little locks on here to make it so it doesn't just randomly
come apart pin in that one for some reason okay it's got little rubber feed
on here see that see that texture and then you can okay these are something I
don't know what these are for go ahead and sort of take this apart
somehow whoa and then everything's coming apart now
awesome this seems to be some kind of like
stabilization dad that involves this being actually
quite heavy and difficult to maneuver when I'm holding it up like
this all right there we go okay so this stance is pretty wide let's go ahead and
put it right there and then once we've oh yeah we're good we're filming uh see
you tomorrow okay so we uncp
these and then I guess it'll extend for us oh there we go there we go that's
better once we uncp those we can get a better idea what kind of height we're
going to see with this thing cuz that's how tripods are rated right they're
rated like in terms of height more height is better actually I don't know
can't remember giving me a look right now like I said I don't know anything
about this stuff I just know what the uh what the video folks say we need in
order to make like more better videos
and then I try and uh try and make that happen Okay so there's more extension
here oh okay wow this thing's going to get pretty big indeed before we're done
with it here U going to have to get this box out of our way look it's like
growing it's like a Transformer or something actually it's tripod but
uh okay so it's got about a six foot stance on the thing and it's uh yeah
about five yeah must be about 5T tall so
it comes with as I mentioned I've got a kit so it comes with the fluid
head I forget what the part number is but it's probably some some part number
or other here I can find out for you guys imagine more something
something something something yep doesn't doesn't doesn't say anything oh
yeah yeah mvh502a and then the uh so that's the
pro video head cool and then the tripod
itself is the 545 or the 546b or
something like that so basically to mount it on here all we got to do is
slide this bad boy in so we already took
the uh the mounting piece out and put it on the camera so you can hear it clip
into place there and then you lock it in place using this guy right here and then
it in theory doesn't go anywhere also comes with one other accessory and
that's uh this piece right here so we're just going to you can mount it on either
side if you're a lefty then uh I'm sorry and uh you can but you can still use
this product I'm just kidding I have nothing
against left-handed people they're wonderful you know most of the ones I
met so there we go this oh this probably
has to uh oh no it looks like this just freely moves oh maybe it just isn't
quite tight enough yet yeah there we go so once you've tightened it in place to
or tightened it locked it in place this way then you keep going a little bit
further and the handle itself locks into place you can adjust the fluidity the
drag system here as well as here so you
can either set lots of resistance or very little resistance and then there's
a level right here to help you make sure that uh well your camera tripod mount
system is level so there we have it we
now have our new camera mounted to our
new
tripod
