Nice tripod

Nice tripod. Stable and adjustable, good quality. The quick mount takes a little bit of fussing, then I learned how to make it work. This is worth bringing along in order to get the smooth pan and stable shots it enables.

Amazing Tripod and Value for the Money

This is an amazing light duty tripod. I'm using it in the field for my Sony Z280 because it's lighter than my Benro. Great fluid head and a great value

Smallrig AD-01

I received my Smallrig AD-01 in two weeks here in Zambia. It's more than what I expected, it is very sturdy and well constructed.

Amazing!

Even better than I was expecting! The first thing I noticed was how well-made it was. Solid materials and craftsmanship. Works great and keeps my camera stable. The fluid head is great for angling mg camera in different positions

I received my Smallrig AD-01 in two weeks here in Zambia. It's more than what I expected, it is very sturdy and well constructed.

SmallRig Heavy-Duty Fluid Head Tripod AD-01 3751 is designed for videoing. It features a new generation of head design, an updated quick release plate with a built-in spanner to allow the camera to be placed quickly. Thanks to fluid head featuring quick disassembly and oblique installation, placing the camera is less than 1 second and fixed after the front and rear adjustments.

The head plate slot has built-in screw holes; the bowl base comes with hidden 1/4''-20 threaded holes for accessory attachment. Built-in damping and balancing system enable 360 Degree horizontal and +90 Degree /-75 Degree vertical movements and hold equipment of up to 8KG. 3/8"-16 threaded holes in the head base support most tripods, arms, slides, and other accessories with 3/8"-16 screws.

This tripod, featuring a built-in bubble level, works with a 75mm bowl base for leveling and easy management of frame level. It includes a 3-section extender to meet different height demands in indoor and outdoor scenarios; and a user-friendly quick-release flip-lock. A dedicated bag protects the tripod and makes it easy to carry around for whatever you want to create.
