Manfrotto 701HDV Unboxing & First Impressions

TWITTER - http://twitter.com/AndyBoothPhoto FLICKR - http://www.flickr.com/photos/andyboothphotography/

I had to grab a new tripod head so I had a bit more control when doing a bit more serious filming. Hopefully this one will last me most of my life, as I hope the tripod it'self will to.

Just in case your wondering, this piece of (beautifully crafted) metal cost £109 from jessops: http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/75648/show.html) Quite pricey for a one off, but I hope to do a bit more video in the future, so I hope it wil pay for it'self in the long run!

Thanks for watching.

Looks like the panning is a little hard or rough for you to do

[AndyBJ]

@nottinmatterz2day You can loosen it off more, also it becomes smoother with time, because this was brand new - but it is very smooth and controlable.

Great video, but where is your desk from? cheers.

@whit856 IKEA....not sure if they still do it, it's pretty distinctive if you had a look through their web site.

Thanks

Hi,

Wich head is better: 701HDV or 501HDV?

THANKS!!!!

[AndyBJ]

@MrPacMe I didn't look at the 501. Not sure what the differences are, sorry.

@CakesnakeFilms Great isn't it?? You can see inside yourself when you look through it, and when you zoom in the world becomes black and white and inside out! Amazing Lens! ;-)

700-300mm lens, wtf!!!!

[WWUKTV]

what is a 700-300mm lens? 70-300! not 700-300! :)

[SteU4IA]

@MrPacMe Well obviously the 501HDV is better since it's more expensive, but it all depends on your needs, budget, and future needs.

Great unboxing and great luck in your future commercials!
