Unboxing: Fancier Weifeng WF-717H Fluid Head Tripod

Unboxing: Fancier Weifeng WF-717H Fluid Head Tripod Tube. Duration : 4.67 Mins.


Thanks to cheesycam.com I learned about the Weifeng WF-717H fluid head. His blog pointed me to an ebay seller who supposedly sells this head for . They were sold out, and others were selling them for . Still a good deal. i did my usual searching and found the 75mm ball mount version with a tripod and carring case on Amazon for only 9! Free shipping and no tax. With the glowing recommendations I had to try it. I have a new Panasonic GH-1 (hacked) and my only tripod is an old Bogen I used with a 5x7 camera back in the day. It came in today, and I thought I'd share my first unboxing video with you guys. Shot with my GH-1 and 14-45mm. Edited in Sony Vegas 9. Song is Groove Armada - I See You Baby. I haven't shot with this yet, but at first inspection, it is well made. Some plastic parts, but for any DSLR shooter, the weight is not an issue. The head is smooth in both directions. Perhaps a nicer quick release mount would be nice. Calapsed, the carrying bag is small with a padded shoulder. Its not the lightest tripod. I will be getting and will review a very nice light tripod next the Vanguard Alta 263AP 9 (I just got one for !!!) That is for light weight street shooting. i tried the head and it was VERY smooth. Thanks for watching!!!!
