You get what you pay for

By Emmanuel

The leveling bubble lost its oil and bubble within three shoots and one of the leg lock levers snapped off shortly afterwards. Every DP who uses it politely indicates to me that it is not good. Serves me right for seeking a bargain I guess. Trying to see if CAME-TV will ship me a replacement lever so I can sell it used for way less than I paid.

Amazing deal

To me it looks and feels just like a Sachtler 18 S2 ENG 2 CF Video 18 S2 Fluid Head with ENG 2 CF Tripod and Ground Spreader except for the handle looks a little different and the Cam-TV logo, which I covered with my contact info (white text on black label stickers, which looks clean). Clients probably think it's a Sachtler. But more importantly it is buttery smooth, fully adjustable, and sturdy. There's only a few potential cons in my view. There's only the floor spreader available, but you can take it off if you're ever on rough terrain. In that case I might use something like the Oben Tripod Hammock to add stability in that rare situation. For me 95% of the time I'm on a fairly smooth flat surface. Another unknown is how it would be to have this brand serviced, but in my case I take good care of equipment and it's not getting used like a rental house. I'm ok with those downsides for the benefit of saving 5K or more.

question

Does this package contains Mid-Level Spreader, if not what Mid-Level Spreader is recommended?
Asked by: Shiva Gopal Rao
This Tripod comes with a Floor Spreader. At this time we are not aware of any Mid-Level Spreaders that are compatible with this unit. If you need help finding a tripod that will work with a Mid-Level Spreader instead feel free to email us at [email protected] for additional assistance.
