  • Okay, I can figure that I really need a good tripod and a good tripod head. Would you please tell me what metal tripod that you are demonstrating and the tripod head too? I am looking to get one just like that because I plan to mount a jib camera to shoot some video. Thank you

  • @didanhtennis In this video Layne is using a gitzo carbon fiber tripod with bullhead styled gitzo head.

  • 30th!!!

  • what is the 25 year old ball head with huge square plate. I want one

  • @Justtjenna Canon T2i, T3i

  • @MrCROBosanceros Is this okay? Bogen Series 3 Carbon 6x Tripod 4 Section. It's $690. There are just so many and I don't know what to buy but I will focus on the Gitzo and Manfrotto. But I really want a tripod that can also support a camera crane too. Can you recommend one? The crane doesn't have to be really big, just a 8' crane at front end and a the other end is for counterweight.

    Thank you

  • @didanhtennis Metal tripod is most likely GITZO series 3 STUDEX PERFOMANCE and just like mine GITZO tripod it is probably from late 1980's or 1990's.  My tripod was ,other than my house,best investment, ever.Twenty-two years latter and still looks and works like first day I bought that.If you planing to buy tripod,please consider only serious brand like Gitzo and Manfroto or do not even bother.Those cheap ones are just the toys.

  • @MohaMugha It's a Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripod with a Bullhead styled gitzo head.

  • "Shim outta luck" LOL.

  • what's the model of both tripod in the video? please answer
