I'm currently embarking on a very amateur journey with wildlife/nature videography.
I have a decent fluid head (e-image), My carbon fibre photography tripod is generally ok but I'd like a dedicated video tripod for better support when I don't have to hike huge distances.
I'm a YouTube Premium subscriber, so have spent the last few days watching various reviewers/advertisers/shills lauding some tripods. Smallrig for example. Clearly (openly) gifting tripods to people for reviews. I'm fine with this, but it leaves too many questions about the integrity of the reviews and reviewers. Video tripod reviews seem in short supply on the internet. Go on Reddit, everyone seems to recommend £5000 tripods or they want £50 tripods.
What do I do? Spend £1800 on a Sachtler? Take a chance on a £300 Smallrig?
Puzzled.
