Came damaged, as someone was dragging it on a floor. And a package (original, not B&H) was destroyed. Be careful. I asked on refund/change for a new one and will see what is going to happen...

Terrible experience!

So I purchased this tripod and after using it twice within a 2 month period , one of the legs stopped working. I could get it to contract anymore. So I reach out to BHPhoto and they told me it was out of their hands, and that I needed to contact SmallRig. I emailed them and sent them numerous emails and photos. Finally they sent me a new set of legs. When the package arrived I noticed they sent me the wrong set of legs. I originally purchased the Version 2 and they sent me the version 1. So when I contacted them the told me they were the exact same set of legs. So then I reached out the BHPhoto about it and they told me that the legs were actually different. Since then neither please is willing to help me with the faulty tripod I purchased. SmallRig will only reply once a day around 4am and they keep telling me something different. BHPhoto won't help me either. Then the rep for BHPhoto got smart with me in the middle of our chat. I have been doing business with them for 25 plus years. This is so upsetting to me.

The differences of the SmallRig x Potato Jet TRIBEX Carbon II Tripod with Fluid Head MFR #5755 and the SmallRig x Potato Jet TRIBEX Hydraulic Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit MFR #4259 are the following. The model 5755 has an improved central shaft cover, and the printing process for the logo and other colors on the tripod has been improved over the original model.
