SmallRig CT210 Reviews
I love this Tripod! | Light, Sturdy, Quick Assembly
I really enjoy this tripod, this is exactly what I was looking for. I've used many tripods and this one is my favorite, I sold all my old tripods and upgraded to these. I now own four of these tripods. It comes in a nice case and is small enough for transporting but strong enough to hold every camera setup I've put on it. The fluid head is smooth and works well. I frequently get compliments from other Videographers who work with me about my tripods. I use these tripods for weddings, concerts, conferences and interviews. These are some of the features I love most about this tripod. 1) The quick release plate works amazing and just clips in and out but also has the knob as a safety to tighten and loosen. No need to spend time lining up the plate and trying to slide it on a certain way. It just snaps in and out with the push of a button. 2) One of the legs converts into a monopod and allows me to put the fluid head on the monopod. 3) The center pole is easily removable allowing the legs to spread out flat along the ground to get sturdy creative low angle shots. 4) The fluid head sits on a ball design allowing me to get perfect quick leveling without having to adjust or play with the legs. 5) super sturdy and compact, easily folds up and goes in a nice rugged soft case that came with the tripod. Everybody's needs are different, but this one is a great all around tripod that checks all the boxes for me.
I hate the sliding plate
Overall the tripod seems like great value. It is tall enough for me to shoot eye-level (I'm 6'2 and stand in front of the camera when shooting on tripod) and has nice features like convert-to-monopod, clamp locks on legs (twist locks on legs are a terrible design) and nice fluid head. So why two stars? I cannot abide by anyone who sells a sliding plate as a quick-release plate -- there is nothing quick about it. I guess I'm spoiled by the old bogen-manfrotto hexagonal QR plate that is literally two moves to remove and one move to replace. This one requires you to unscrew a knob, NOT a lever. When you unscrew the knob, THEN you're supposed to press a button. Here's the problem: when you unscrew that knob the entire camera comes sliding off the back of the plate!!! You don't even ever need to use the stupid button. It does nothing. What I expect is, I don't use that knob, press button, pull camera off to do handheld, then, with one hand, snap the camera back on. The knob is for people with giant camera and enormous lenses, to 'balance' the camera .. but why is it connected to the QR plate use? Poor design. it makes me hate this tripod. I stopped shooting until I can find a better solution. I find it enormously frustrating to use for how I use a camera.
