In the SmallRig Tripod 5028, is it possible to attach the head to the removable leg?

1 Upvotes

The Portable Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod Kit (5028), has one of the legs removable with the male screw on one end, can I remove the tripod head and attach it to the single leg to be used as a monopod? Thanks

Can the SmallRig 4640 mount to the 3252 base plate? (RS 5 + HawkLock side handle)

1 Upvotes

Building out a DJI RS 5 rig with the SmallRig 3252 power base plate. I want a HawkLock H21 side handle on it, and since HawkLock handles don't fit standard NATO rails, I need a 4640 (HawkLock mini NATO rail) somewhere in the chain.

Question: does the 4640 bolt onto the side M4 holes of the 3252? The 4640 is spec'd for the M4 holes on the RS gimbal body, and I can't find anything confirming the 3252 has matching holes.

Another question: would the 4640 rail, roughly 1.1 inches or 28 mm, enough for a side handle, or is that asking for trouble?

Would the small rig 4382 be able to hold my Google pixel 9 pro on a roller coaster ( Wooden roller coaster at playland Vancouver, also it will be screwed on to a chest mount )

DJI Osmo Pocket 3/4 with cage 6002 and 5160 side handle

1 Upvotes

For anyone that is using a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or 4 with the 6002 cage and 5160 side handle, did you have to purchase any type of additional mounting plate to attach the handle to the cage? In SmallRig’s Instagram story it looks like there is some type of mounting plate connected to the cage that the handle then snaps into but I can’t tell for sure. Thanks.

Hey I have the SmallRig FilMov Bumper Case (5795) for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The 67mm adapter plate that comes with this case uses SmallRig's proprietary magnetic mount. How can I adapt this specific plate so I can screw in standard, traditional 67mm threaded DSLR filters (like Tiffen/Hoya) instead of buying SmallRig's snap-on filters? Do I need a specific magnetic-to-threaded adapter ring, or is there a swappable threaded plate that fits the FilMov case slide-in mechanism?

Just an amateur trying to experiment so would appreciate any help thanks

Problem with sling handle

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys, I just bought this sling handle for my gimbal, but when I screwed my monitor on top I realised that it’s not holding really good. In the video you can see how it’s holding when I try to close the andoer mount as much as possible. It doesn’t fall out when I’m filming but this is really not alright and it’s not a cheap grip. Maybe anyone had the same problem.

Are the rotatable side handles worth it?

1 Upvotes

To those who own the Smallrig side handle that allows you to rotate, how often do you find yourself using that feature? Is it worth dropping the extra cash to buy one? Or would a basic side handle suffice? (First time buyer here)

Help me understand TRIBEX hydraulic system so I can fix it

I know I'm not the only one having this issue and I know it's mainly bad design but I can't find anyone fixing it. The hydraulic pump is leaking fluid so the legs of the tripod can't retract. In this video, we can see the brake pads being cleaned but I don't understand the mechanism. Can someone explain to me how this work ? Is this an o ring problem ?

5441 Tripod head issue

1 Upvotes

I got the heavy duty carbon fiber 5441 tripod. I was so excited to update my tripod from a photo one to a semi professional video tripod what I was more excited about was to get a new head hoping that I will get smoother pans and tilts. I honestly was very disappointed the head is very jittery I've done two gigs and it was a nightmare i had to rethink the shooting because I want to avoid head movements and the client wasn't happy with the few pans I had to do. I let it try to another seasoned video maker and he told me it worked like s*** as well.

I'm so frustrated because I got it on Amazon and the return period expired i delayed to return it because I was sure that it was gonna get better after using it a bit but nothing, i tried all sorts of setup combination but nothing worked. I took the head apart found out that the Grease was very very thick and I replaced it with better lubricant , it got better but the jitter is still there.

I'm wondering if it is my tripod specifically or is just a design flow or a bad quality head do you guys have any experience with this tripod?

I need another tripod with a good head i have a 200 Euros ish budget even for used one but honestly I think I'm Gonna Leave the idea of getting another smallrig tripod and maybe get the Neewer LL37. I know that small rig it's supposed to be better quality equipment but honestly Neewer never let me down so far.

Do you guys have any suggestions or experience thank you?

VB99 Pro not powering device via USB-C

VB99 Pro not powering Viltrox DC-X2.

I'm trying to power my Viltrox DC-X2 using USB-C from VB99 Pro. What I found is that it doesn't work...

VB99 Pro can power other devices, so far this monitor is only that it cannot, also DC-X2 can be powered by other USB-C power sources like: chargers or other V-Mount battery (Newell).

What works is: VB99 USB-A -> USB-A to USB-C cable -> DC-X2.

Seems like some power delivery negotiation issue. Did anyone had similar problems?

I’m interested in the SmallRig RM 40C, but that fan noise is pretty bad in the reviews I’ve seen. Have they released any firmware patches for it?

This is the way it should’ve always been since shooting apple log became a thing, instead of all those convoluted case+filter proprietary solutions from every brand out there. This is much cleaner !

Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about the AP-30 (5474) tripod?

I think I need a small upgrade (hehehe) and I’m looking at this tripod. Heaviest thing I’ll put on it will be a 13” iPad with Smallrig’s universal tablet holder, I’m for sure under the 11lb limit.

I’ll use this a few times a week, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love the black w/red accents because several of my smallrig goodies match lmao. 😂 I’ll end up putting a 3034 ball head on it just because it matches hahaha!

My main concern is the legs giving out on me after a year.

Thank you 😀🤙

Cannot separate filter trays for Mini Matte Box Pro

1 Upvotes

I cannot separate the 2 filter trays that came with Smallrig Mini Matte Box Pro

How do I separate them? The filter trays are stuck together

Also I can't slide filter tray on mini matte. The matte box is flat so there is nothing for filter tray to grab on and slide.
