  • Excellent budget alternative to Manfrotto
Style: AD-01S
We use Manfrotto tripods where I work, which have an excellent and well-deserved reputation. I wanted to get one for my personal kit for the odd job here and there, and this is a terrific “champagne on a beer budget” option for a BMPCC or similarly sized camera. It is tooled to support a second stick handle which is NOT included, but I found a replacement Manfrotto handle that is compatible with the screw thread and tooth pattern. Would definitely recommend. ... show more

  • Frustrating Design. Just spend the extra $150 on a AD-80s.
Style: AD-01S
I got this for a b-cam, with my a-cam mounted on a Smallrig AD-80s carbon fiber tripod. The AD-80s mops the floor with this tripod in every possible way. The pan/tilt adjustment knobs are awkwardly placed on the AD-01S, the fluid head is ok for the price (AD-80s is way better), the height adjustment locking system is so much more work than the AD-80s, the quick release plate is so incredibly frustrating to deal with, and it's noticeably heavier. I let the return window slip by me, otherwise I would've returned the AD-01S and just shelled out the extra $150 or whatever for another AD-80s with significantly better design and build quality. ... show more

  • Nice tripod but I don't like the counterbalance
Style: AD-01S
I purchased the AD-01S but I didn't like the fixed counterbalance. It felt springy and less predictable. I also tried the more expensive AD-80, but I wasn't a fan of the speed clamp design. The upper sections clamped well, but I could still move the lower section while supposedly clamped. In the end, I kept the AD-01S and replaced the head with a Manfrotto 500X. The 500X solved my need for both portrait and landscape shots, and it also has a counterbalance that can be turned off. I'm happy with the result, but obviously paid too much considering I didn't use the AD-01S head. ... show more

  • Fantastic and has one unexpectedly awesome feature
Style: AD-01S
I really like SmallRig gear. I feel like they always give a lot of features and quality on a budget. This tripod is really well thought out. Also, it came packed very well with foam wrapped around the tripod in its case. Everything slides or turns really smoothly. The fluid head springs back to center if you move it vertically. I like that the knob on the side just adjusts the tension in the tilt, but a quick lever knob secures it in place. Also, the way the plate locks into the receiver is really clever. It allows you to pop the plate in without having to tighten anything. It will slide a bit if it is not tightened down, but it will not pop back out or fall off the end because of the pins. Then it is just a couple twists of the top knob to secure it solidly. The pan is really smooth as well. The case is actually really nice. It has a really wide strap. I like getting it as short as possible so that I can wear it "quiver" style across my back. This is surprisingly comfortable. Until I got this tripod, I was using a professional Andoer tripod. It was not as tall, only 67". It had an ok bag but this one is so much nicer that I thought the whole package was significantly lighter. So I weighed them both. To my surprise, they were both exactly the same weight, 10 lbs. So that just speaks to how much more comfortable this bag is. The deployment is the best feature in my opinion. My old tripod had round twist knobs. This one just has levers. Flip it one way to free, flip it back to lock. Easy. So the unexpected feature I really like is about the height. The fact that it can go as high as 74" is pretty awesome, even though I am not sure how often I would need my camera to be way above my head. But the cool thing is that just deploying one section of the legs brings the camera up to about eye-height. So that is so much easier and faster than my old tripod, which always required me to deploy both sections of each leg. So I would say that this is a fantastic buy for anyone who wants a robust and well designed tripod for a camera or a rig that will not break the bank. There are a lot of other little features that I did not mention, like threaded spots to attach magic arms, and the retractable cable hook that can wrap around and secure the legs. Oh, and there is an alan key magnetized in its spot. Very cool. I would definitely recommend this tripod! ... show more

  • Solid and sturdy as a based for my teleprompter
Style: AD-01S
SmallRig makes some great products and this tripod is no exception. My use is to hold up my teleprompter. It is a bit large and was difficult for my previous tripod to hold securely. No issue with the SmallRig. The extra legs are no harder to use than a single leg tripod I’m coming from, just more sturdy. It is a shame I leave this set up all the time, the bag is padded and moving this around would be a breeze. I was able to get a perfectly level shot thanks to the bubble guides. This handles the size and weight of the teleprompter with ease. I am thankful to have added it to my gear. I would get it again now that I have had a chance to use it. ... show more
