Comment on Feisol CT-3372 Tripod Review by John Nevill

Hi Floyd, The 4 section CT-3472 is not quite as torsionally rigid as the 3 section, although this really depends on use. I have use super teles (EF500/600) lenses with the Feisol U-Mount on both 3 and 4 section without stability concerns. The real advantage of the 4-section is its shorter folded length.

Hello,
I’ve been reading your review and comments on the CT-3372, and wondered if you can answer my two queries. 1. What is your opinion on the four sections CT-3472? and 2. Is it as stable as the CT-3372?

Kind regard

Floyd

Hi, I am now the UK distributor of Silkypix and have moved the eBook purchase to http://www.silkypixuk.com. Unfortunately, contractual arrangements with ISL do not allow the sale of SilkypixUK products in USD, since there is a US distributor for Silkypix. However, since we use Paypal as the gateway payment, this service offers universal currency conversion at checkout. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

I live in the US, and would like to purchase your Silkypix 3 E-Book, but … it’s not clear from the purchase procedure (where the cost is only listed in British Pounds currency) whether I am able to purchase your E-book in dollars. Am I missing something obvious? I also sent an inquiry to you Contact Us page for marketing inquiries.

It would be helpful if (somewhere on your site, and/or within the purchase process) this issue was addressed (and the situation and possibilities for purchase in US Dollars delineated).

Thanks!

Comment on Feisol CT-3372 Tripod Review by George Slusher

“The only negative side for me is the Feisol spikes – they’re not really spikes at all but threads with a slight point on the end.”

They have to be that way to be retractable, so that you can use them on pavement, floors, etc. Feisol does have long spikes, though they are for the smaller tripods (Standard, Tournament Class, and Travel):
http://www.feisoluk.com/Spikes-Sets/c29/p98/CT-MEDLSK—Long-Spike-Set/product_info.html

My guess is that they may expect that photographers who use tripods outdoors a lot will probably go for the lighter weight tripods. The CT-3301 Standard is 1.18kg/2.59lbs vs 1.72kg/3.79 bs for the CT-3372. The max load for the CT-3301 is 9kg/19.8lbs vs 12kg/26.5lbs for the CT-3372. The CT-3301 is also less than half the price of the CT-3372 ($215 vs $499 in the US).

I have the CT-3372, as well. I had the opportunity to examine each of the models before choosing. It came down to 3 models:
- CT-3401 ($219), which would have been a SLIGHT improvement over the Fancier CF tripod I already had (max load 9kg vs 8kg; folded 48 cm/18.8 in vs 49cm/19.3in; weight 1.18kg/2.5 lbs vs 1.27kg/2.8 bs; minimum height 17cm/6.6 in vs 36cm/14.2 in);
- CT-3371 ($319) greater max load (12kg), but 67cm/26.4in folded & 2.2kg/4.85lbs weight
- CT-3372 ($499) same max load as CT-3372, but improved base plate & hinges, lower min height (8cm/3.1in vs 17cm/6.7in) and lighter (1.72kg/3.79lbs vs 2.2kg/4.85lbs)

Speaking of the base plate, the CT-3372 base plate is quite different from that on the CT-3371. (One must be careful in ordering a leveling base, center column kit, horizontal column, etc.) It’s CNC milled, rather than cast. (The Gitzo base plates are also cast, as are many other parts.)

I got the CT-3372 as a major upgrade, rather than a minor one. I kept the Fancier tripod for carrying around (1.27 kg vs 1.72 kg) and traveling, because of its smaller folded length. (I can fit the Fancier, minus head, into a bag that meets US domestic carryon limits.) It has served me well, both with a Markins M10 ballhead and a Jobu Jr gimbal head. (My heaviest/largest lenses are the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS and 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS, both of which work well with the Jobu Jr vs getting the more expensive Black Widow.

I also got a Feisol monopod (the smaller CM-1401–like one of the CT-3401 legs). It can carry 7kg and is about 53cm/20.9in folded. I kept my inexpensive Triopo CF monopod for traveling, as it folds to 42cm/16.5in.
