welcome to my unboxing and first look at my new tripod so this is a Manfrotto something-or-other can't remember what it is but we'll open it up got really good reviews on the on the online store that I bought it from so I'm hoping that it's that it's awesome it's also rated for the for the weight of my new camera which is a Sony fs700 which is right over there so this will be part of the whole new setup for line of tech tips I'm extremely excited to bring to you now if you guys have been following my channel for a long time then you'll probably remember back when I unboxed my Canon x8n camera when we when we first upgraded from our ancient Sony like tape camera that we were using before that and then what you'll probably also remember is that I don't really know anything about about AV equipment at all so me unboxing these puts me a little bit out of my element but it's okay because guys like Diesel and cameraman wolf will help me and actually better yet it won't help me at all they'll just not make it so I don't have to deal with it because I can handle like SSDs and computer hardware but when I get into this kind of stuff I just get confused alright so it comes with a carrying stack which is nice okay it's like a kid in a candy store but they're like diabetic so they can't eat the candy but it's like still exciting because you know it's a candy store and there's lights and sound and you know exciting stuff going on okay so there's that so this is a kit it comes with blue it comes with a fluid head as well as the tripod unit it's all thing it's rated for like 12 pounds or something like that our cameras only about eight pounds maybe I'm thinking kilograms I don't know man okay it's just yeah it's probably some kind of feet on the bottom here that are making it hard for me to get it in and out of the bag there we go all right so there's our there's our baller new tripod so let's start with unlocking it which is done like this it's got little locks on here to make it so it doesn't just randomly come apart so pin in that one for some reason okay it's got little rubber feet on here see that see that texture and then you can okay these are something I don't know what these are for go ahead try to take this apart somehow whoa and then everything's coming apart now awesome this seems to be some kind of like stabilization doodad that involves this being actually quite heavy and difficult to maneuver when I hold it up like this all right there we go okay so the stance is pretty wide go ahead and put it right there and then once we've oh yeah we're good we're filming ah see you tomorrow okay again click these and then I guess it will extend for us oh there we go there we go that's better once we unclip those we can get a better idea what kind of height we're going to see with this thing because I thought tripods are rated right to rated like in terms of height more height is better actually I don't know cameramen bring me a look right now like I said I don't know anything about this stuff I just know it at the what the video folks say we need in order to make like more better videos and then I try and try and make that happen okay so there's more extension here oh okay wow this thing is gonna get pretty big indeed before we're done with it here I'm gonna have to get this box out of our way look it's like growing it's like a transformer or something actually it's tripod but okay so it's going to go to six foot stance on the thing and it's uh yeah about five that must be about five feet tall so it comes with as I mentioned I've got a kit so it comes with the fluid head I forget what the part number is but it's probably something fun part number or other yeah I can find out for you guys imagine more something something something something yeah it doesn't doesn't doesn't say anything oh yeah mvh 502 a and then the yeah so that's the pro video head cool and then the tripod itself is the 545 or the 546 B or something like that so basically to mount it on here all we got to do is slide this bad boy in so we already took the the mounting piece out and put it on the camera so you can hear it clip into place there and then you lock it in place using this guy right here and then in theory doesn't go anywhere also comes with one other accessory and that's this piece right here so we're just gonna you can mount it on either side if you're a lefty then I'm sorry and you can but you can still use this product I'm just kidding I have nothing against left-handed people they're wonderful you know most of the ones like that so there we go this uh this probably has two no no looks like this just freely moves oh maybe it just isn't quite tight enough yet now there we go so once you've tightened it in place to tightened it locked it in place this way then you keep going a little bit further and the handle itself locks into place you can adjust the fluidity the drag system here as well as here so you can either set lots of resistance or very little resistance and then there's a level right here to help you make sure that well your camera tripod mount system is level so there we have it we now have our new camera mounted to our new tripod
