Review on πŸ“Έ Versatile Aluminum Mini Tripod for Zhiyum Crane V2, Zhiyun Crane-M, Smooth Q, Smooth 3 III II, Moza Air, Mini-C, Mini-G, Feiyu G4 Pro, Godox A1 Phone Flash – PERGEAR by Rick Rogers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

REVISED - CATASTROPHIC FAILURE (was: a great buy for any Zhiyun Crane owner)

REVISED TO 1 STAR - (WHAT 5 STARS) My previous enthusiasm for this product is completely misplaced due to the poor quality of materials. In particular, the 1/2-20 tripod screw broke. WARNING: Many people and many online reviewers recommend using this tripod as a Zhiyun Crane Extension. This results in significant propeller torque, which eventually failed in my case. Luckily for me, the gimbal and camera didn't fall off. However, this error could easily lead to the loss of the camera, lens and/or stabilizer. I personally don't think a 1/4-20 should be trusted to connect the gimbal and camera to the boom style camera post. This product is suitable for desktop gimbal balancing, but no more. In view of the low price of this tripod, I will probably get another one for this use. However, I would like to warn everyone: DO NOT USE THE PERGEAR MIMNI ALUMINUM TRIPOD as an extension arm for your Zhiyun Crane. The PERGEAR table tripod for Zhiyun Crane V2 is well made and made of high quality materials. Amazing value indeed - almost didn't order as the price seemed too low. Super glad I did. The legs fold perfectly into the long handle of the Zhiyun faucet. You can find many videos online showing creative ways to use the crane with this extended handle. Great product at a more than fair price!
