Hello William, Blimey! It’s such a relief to get these messages from viewers of my videos. I’m glad you’re happy with the tripod, I do get regular emails from the manbily office, and they’re already in the process of a colour change of the kit. They have sent me a photo of a new colour last week, but I’ve kind of rejected it, as it’s still a bit glossy and an odd shade of 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ Well I don’t know really 🤔 I’ve sent them a picture of my bike that is Matt black, sort of Stealth fighter black, so I think their paint team are now on the job 👍👍 Thanks very much for your message, I hope a lot of folks actually read these comments and understand that even though the kit is a lot cheaper than others, it’s still worth having 😉

@@predatorprotectionuk To be perfectly honest David the colour does not matter, abroad they wear blazing orange from head to toe and still have a lot of succes I personally am not bothered about its colour I'm sure I will have as much success in the roe rut as anyone else. But I have practised with the rifle every day for 46 years 8 months 3 days it said on my retirement card. Lol Waiting for my long service civil servant medal coming lol.

I've just received mine today after watching your video, I thought it was worth a "punt". I was not disappointed! The quality is absolutely fantastic, yes the colour is a bit naf but that can be fixed and would it really matter when foxing at night like I do? I'm so pleased I didn't buy one of the other expensive alternatives, many thanks for bringing this to my attention.

That’s wonderful feedback Nicholas 👍👍 I guess it’s always a gamble when you’re watching a review. “Is this bloke getting paid for this?” And saying what the manufacturer wants to hear? Not in my case chap, if it’s crap, it goes in the bin✋️ And a few have , believe me ! If if wouldn’t buy it, why should I expect you viewers to ? Have a great day 🫵👍

Hi David, thanks for your review, I got mine today but was disappointed that the tripod won’t go in the bag with the clamp fitted. I’ve emailed Manbily and they said they would make a separate bag for the clamp. I think they would be better just supplying a longer bag for the complete set up.

Hi Rob, Have you tried it with the end extension open? To be brutally honest, mine never goes in the bag now it’s set up with the new ball head, back of the car and ready to go. I’m glad you’re happy with it chap, I’m sure they will listen to your feedback and act on it, after all, it’s not an expensive modification is it 🤷🏼♂️👍👍

Hi David, is there any reason shooters seem to prefer a ball head as opposed to a pan and tilt? I would have thought the pan and tilt would prevent any cant of the rifle but still alllow movement in the required axes. I will admit to using a pan and tilt as I already had one on a Manfrotto (good quality) video tripod.

@@predatorprotectionuk Hi David, thanks for the quick reply. The pan and tilt allows you to do both movements you need to aim the gun but it doesn't allow the gun to flop over to the side when you loosen the ball clamp, so I thought it is preferable to the ball head. Hope that makes sense.
