Triopo GX-1328 Carbon Fiber Classic Tripod Review

Triopo GX-1328 Carbon Fiber Classic Tripod overview
For the past six months, I have been engaged in the process of preparing and testing the structure of a new Heavy Duty Panorama Head.
Among other findings, I reached the conclusion that the tripod used as a support up to now would not be capable of holding the excess offset load. The bending in the center column hub, under full load, indicated that it had reached its limits.
Off we go again for the quest of a new tripod.

Benro A-298 EX (A2980F) Versatile Transformer Tripod Review

Benro A-298 EX center column in horizontal position
Choosing a tripod is quite a hard task. I have read numerous posts and discussions with advice for the best selection. Somehow everyone seems to suggest his/her choice is the best, while others try to show off of their expensive equipment.

Well, there is no tripod good enough for all tasks, so you cannot have a combination of a studio tripod sturdiness, a traveler tripod transportability, a versatile tripod functionality, plus longevity and just spend a few dollars or euros.

Weifeng WF-533H 2Way Pan-Tilt Video Head

Weifeng WF-533H Pan-Tilt Head Overview

As I mentioned in the Weifeng WF-595T Traveller Alu-Mg Tripod Review the Weifeng WF-533H 2way Pan-Tilt Video Head is mainly coming as a kit with the WF-533T Flip Lock classic tripod.
However since it stands out as a fairly cheap solution for shooting video it can be found sold separately.

Weifeng WF-595T Alu-Mg Traveller Tripod with WF-595H Ball Head Review

Weifeng WF-595T Tripod + WF-595H Ball Head set overview

This review of the Weifeng WF-595T tripod kit is a tribute to my first traveller tripod following the reverse leg folding concept in a very economical price.
After a long time with quite heavy Manfrotto  tripods, I was tempted to give a chance to a product from a manufacturer coming from China.
