Well, if someone needs a small tripod, that will hold 100 pounds, this would indeed be the ” GO TO” gadget for sure.
I would not buy this, UNLESS i had a specific use for it. And i have not had a specific use for something like this, yet.

EH, not super impressed…i mean, yeah it’s cool, but seriously, $100 for the tripod and $170 for the ballhead?? that’s nuts..i dont care if it holds 1,000 lbs….my buddy has one of these, we’ve used it before for some long exposures with a 1DmkIII and a 16-35L…worked like a charm….and it’s $25 WITH a ball head….

Hey Jaron,
Think you could get Really Right Stuff to do a video on the PG-02 Pro Omni-Pivot Package? I have the 34L/B55 combo with leveling base and I absolutley love it. I am looking at the PG-02 but cant seem to find any reviews/videos on it.

Thanks
Dave

Hm. It only is able to support 3 pounds. And it’s made of plastic. Don’t get me wrong, I see the value. It’s cheap and it’s light weight. However, it’s also no where near as strong as the Pocket Pod and it can’t get as close to the ground. It’s also not as modular.

Of course there is going to be a massive gap in price points when you look at metal vs plastic. When looking at all metal pods, not only is this one pretty much the lightest, but it’s also one of the cheapest.

$98? Wow !!! I use a pedco ultrapod for my dslr. @ $20 it can’t be beat for a travel tripod.
