[Green] Outstanding addition to the Ronin Family

[Unisex XXL] I used this little unit to clamp to my sticks and attach an extension arm for my PortKeys monitor while shooting a surf contest in Huntington Beach all week. Similar items tend to succumb to rust from the salty air, but the Andycine Vlogger held up rather well. The grip material on the inside clamp area held up as well, while a different brand clamp I was using to hold a v-mount battery had rubber grip ends that fell apart. I'll be looking into other items from Andycine hoping for the same quality build.

[Green] I am a multi media video producer/creator. I needed a tripod that was sturdy enough to hold my DSLR/ATMOS ninja rig while be versatile enough to go underslung, lateral, etc. I wasn't finding much I liked until a came upon this used at B&H. The price was right and I have a boom from the same brand which has worked out really well so I decided to order. I figured it would at least be find in the traditional and underslung positions but wasn't expecting it to me rock solid in the lateral. Since my current lateral rig is a magic arm, though, anything would probably be better. Well, I was again really surprised by the quality of this brand. It is heavy! Al but one articulation is cast alloy. The red top articulation seems to be ABC but is beefy so I'm not worried at all. Legs open and lock rock solid. The pan is very smooth and I would bet fluid regulated. It's smooth enough to use loose for nice pan shots. The ball joint is equally smooth and locks up solid when you want it to. The biggest and best surprise was the lateral position. There are click detents on the adjustment which locks them solid once the knob is tightened. There is no need for a counterweight on the boom, although you could put one under the legs (there is a metal loop attachment if needed). In the boom position, that previously mentions smooth pan can make some really amazing on a budget trolly-like shots. All in all I am very satisfied and only wish they had another available used to buy. Even not, it's very well worth the new price!

[Unisex XXL] This is my 3rd teleprompter and by far the best in every way; quality, design and functionality. The value is really remarkable. The most surprising element is the glass itself. The reflected image from my iPad is dramatically brighter, sharper and clearer than other teleprompters I've seen and own. It was instantly noticeable. This clarity comes at the expense of about 2 stops of light to the camera; but without any obvious colour cast.

The rod mounted design was the primary reason I changed to this teleprompter and it is everything I hoped, and possibly more. My old, far more expensive teleprompter, came with its own mounting platform attached and required a partial rebuild of my rig to use. The Smallrig just slides onto the front of the rails. The silicon sleeve is not even necessary. I have the 95mm thread adapter from the Smallrig mini matte box on the front of my lens and this teleprompter slides right up on it with zero light leakage.  

The front of the teleprompter lifts off easily to change filters. It looks like the new Smallrig matte box shares the teleprompter's base plate, so it should be possible to leave in place permanently and just swap between the matte box and teleprompter with a flip of a lever.

The iPad clamp is surprisingly sturdy and anyone concerned that it is plastic need not be. The fit and grip is very solid and an 11 iPad is not going anywhere.

This teleprompter really is extraordinarily good. I have a much more expensive teleprompter and was worried that this would be cheap junk. It absolutely is not. It blows away my other teleprompter in every way at a fraction of the price.

[Unisex XXL] This is a very robust ball head with more options than you normally find. I hope it lasts long, because this is a welcome update to an old paradigm. Well done!

[0.74 lb] I was looking for a clip to attach to my phone for a square light and this was perfect! The one that shipped came broken they sent me a new one that came so quick. thank you

[Unisex XXL] Used size chart - perfect fit. Good sturdy fabric and lots of pockets of various sizes. My only complaint is that it took so long to get. Ordered in Jan for trip in early March. I was home before it arrived. Problem was supplier. B&H responded to my queries and kept me informed.

[Unisex XXL] Durable multi pocket vest comes in handy

[0.74 lb] The build is very solid. Took a little bit to get used to but once I got the hang, it works wonders. Especially, when you're working 10 hour wedding days. Just don't forget to buy back up rubber caps for the screws on the inside of the vest. Otherwise, you'll have a closet full of shirts that are all frayed.

[Unisex XXL] This thing is phenomenal. Just finished my first camera scanning session. I scan images in all formats, 35mm to 4x5, and documents. Every part of this is solidly built. Extremely versatile design. Locks tight; no slippage. Easy to mount. The threaded 3/16 hole on the side accepts a 1/4 reducer bushing, so it can be mounted 90° to the tripod head.
One clarification: the NATO rail mount pictured in one of the photos and the coldshoe adapter pictured in another are *NOT* included. I didn't expect them, but the text wasn't clear.
