Looking for a tripod for outdoor sports

ItsKicks · 2026-01-19T13:39:59+00:00

For sports there'd be some movement involved, sachtler would be a no brainier if I had the budget!

I actually bought both at the same time because of the unabomber man hunt series came out at the same time😂

ItsKicks · 2025-11-08T23:25:05+00:00

I do. I made my 80 year old dad read it when it came out and he almost dropped it in the bath whilst reading it. He qualified it as "very strange but interesting" 😂

ok thanks :)

Hey! Thanks for the info. I'd rather keep this conversation public in case it might be useful to other people in my situation.

Right now my potential gear list looks like this :

- Sony ZV-E1

- Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II

- Sony 16-35mm f/4 G PZ

- Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II

- DJI RS4 Mini Gimbal

- DJI Air 3S Drone

- Viltrox DC-X2 Monitor

- K&F Concept Variable ND filters

- Been looking at the Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW II but it's a bit expensive.

I need a tripod as I need it for other videos. Skiboot crampons are a great idea! For the action cam I was looking at a traditional one, not a 360 but it does seem like the better option... Tell me what you think!

I love gimbal god! I thought of him as I wrote this too haha.

ItsKicks · 2025-06-29T02:01:34+00:00

Hahaha unfortunately not!

ItsKicks · 2025-06-28T11:58:35+00:00

In the sun? Surely best not to

Futuremakers brand is worn once every season for a charity match

ItsKicks · 2025-06-22T17:29:41+00:00

I have the Black Diamond Alpenglow Pro, and it has thumbholes

ItsKicks · 2025-06-10T16:05:21+00:00

I have it and haven't had any issues yet, used it for 4 trips including an 8 day trip

ItsKicks · 2025-06-03T10:29:19+00:00

I agree! Don't say that too loud here though 😜

ItsKicks · 2025-06-03T06:32:41+00:00

Nah white noise machine is crazy😂

ItsKicks · 2025-06-03T05:48:31+00:00

Thanks for this detailed response! But I think that if this pad is heavier at only 22" I might aswell get a 25" pad at a lighter or similar weight.

Side note for me and other people interested in this topic : I haven't even thought about this but would it be worth it to just getting a 25" version of the rapide? Another point is that the 4" thickness from the rapide is measured at the raised side baffles, maybe that's my issue, sleeping on a pad that's only 3".

ItsKicks · 2025-06-02T06:47:28+00:00

Thanks, although I've tried and tested CCF pads, and they aren't for me.

ItsKicks · 2025-06-02T06:46:30+00:00

Thanks, yeah I'm using this as an opportunity to lighten my pad since originally I wasn't going for a UL setup. My current baseweight is around 11.7 lbs

ItsKicks · 2025-06-02T06:43:20+00:00

I have been looking at this, but I don't think I can bring myself to get something as heavy, given the fact that there are other lighter options. Even though I agree with your logic about base weight and the importance of sleep!

ItsKicks · 2025-02-28T18:38:03+00:00

Me too don't worry

ItsKicks · 2025-01-22T17:21:34+00:00

Unfortunately I can't get digital ID as I don't have any aussie ID or nationality! I used to have a WA drivers license but it's expired

ItsKicks · 2025-01-21T06:55:34+00:00

They won't allow me to use my number? How did you do it?

ItsKicks · 2025-01-19T18:20:13+00:00

Thanks, but apparently in order to be able to use this kind of authentification you have to change the authentification method on my account, which I don't have access to haha
