Child Lock For Front Load Washer

Dear Uri, you're using it backwards. The thumb screw goes on the device end, not the camera end. And there is a lock washer for the camera end. Works great under heavy stress.

Someone please tell me any other film washer better than this.

Steady Tripod with great lock and load feel. It makes you confident in your stance and delivers great rotational ability that makes your production really flexible. Total Asset!

I absolutely love this tripod. As heavy as it is though, call me crazy, I find myself wanting a hook on the bottom of the center column in the same manner as the rapid column. Searching and searching I've yet to find one. However for $12 I believe I've found a better solution. I found everything between the hardware and lock aisles at my local Lowe's home improvement store. The thread on the bottom is the usual 3/8 inch so you need a 3/8-16 coupling nut, 3/8 etc Specialty Bolts drawer. Then I can attached a 3/8 inch Eye Bolt (load capacity of 160 lbs). Over in the lock aisle they have heavy duty carabiners. I got the 5/8 x 4+3/4 Interlocking Spring Snap, which wide enough to accommodate the handle of about any bag. Its load capacity is 738 lbs. Hope this helps

I no longer have to miss photo opportunities because of a heavy load of gear. The GT1532 is a breeze to carry around and set up, particularly compared to my aluminum tripod. I shot some landscape examples with my walking-around lens and with Canons 11-24mm monster. Not a hint of vibration with either. So far Im delighted with the results. I think the flip lock for leg extension is easier to use on my old model than Gitzos twist lock, but that may simply be a factor of getting used to it. In any event, its a minor irritation compared to the advantages of using a great, lightweight tripod. Definitely recommend it to friends.

Build, insert, and lock top notch. Even room to load load controller with control levers in place. Don't hesitate

Rugged material and easy to load pockets. Nice double zipper system. I filled a gallon size zip lock bag with sand and double bagged it in a second zip lock, then just slid it into the pocket. No mess. Works well, but probably is not the full 27lb capacity. Use shot if you want a heavier bag. The bags are long and touch the ground when draped over the high leg on a C-stand. They can drape over two legs at a time if you want to do that.

This is a large and stable video head. I use it for a camera/spotting scope rig weighing around 11lbs on an older Gitzo (metal) tripod. With this load it performs great, and is seemingly not anywhere near its max load capability. My only complaint is the positioning of the horizontal lock knob, around at the front of the head forcing you to reach around to tighten. (The vertical lock is conveniently on the right side). That aside this a fine head and an exceptional value.

I have cases from a boat load of manufacturers. Asus is the best. BUT whatever you do, do NOT forget to lock this thing up to something that so you wont lose it. Its a slick drive and I have already lost one, with the 980pro 2tb in it and that hurt. Otherwise, this is what you need to get if you want a case that brings value to the table.

It's sturdy, with smooth action: both pan & tilt knobs lock securely, and when unlocked there's no significat resistance. The vertical adjustment isn't hard to use. The level & compass are useless, but don't get in the way either. There's a tiny bit of play in the altitude lock knob, so there's a 0.7 tilt when I lock or unlock it. I added a 2D bubble level on top of the pan portion of the head, which makes it easy to see that the tripod is level. About $5 level & some epoxy. There are a few lighter gimbals (9 as of this writing at 2022-08-07), though all are substantially more expensive. This one weighs 887 g (for mine, with the added bubble level but removed the compass & existing bubble). I don't need more than 5kg load capacity (Sony a7rIV + 200-600G + 1.4x TC = 2947g, the heaviest current reasonable Sony package is Sony a1 + 600 GM + 2x TC = 4kg) so a heavier mount is just a waste. I backpack & hike & kayak for bird photography, so weight is a substantial concern. The Zenelli CARBON ZS + Oben MBH-11 ball head has a 5kg load capacity, weighs 602g (68% of this), and costs $680. That's $2.25 per gram saved. The Induro GHBA with the same ball head costs $240, and weighs 652g (74% of this). That's $0.85 per gram saved. All other options cost more for less weight reduction. They've usually got unnecessarily large load capacities, but I'm using a carbon fiber tripod with an 8kg capacity so a 25kg+ capacity gimball is useless waste.
