| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Gritty podcast where we talk about all things Gritty. |
| 0:07.0 | All right, folks, welcome to the Gritty Podcast. I am your host Brian Call. I am |
| 0:17.6 | your host Brian Call. I am joined by Brad Hunt and we're doing a quick little |
| 0:21.1 | podcast. This shouldn't take very long. We're going to talk about some of the tripods and tripod heads that we're using namely the tricer. |
| 0:28.0 | I have used every tripod known to man. |
| 0:32.0 | Get those to many other brands. Oh man, |
| 0:34.8 | Frotto, get so. I've used the lulopold, which is a great tripod. It's I've used a much carbon fiber. You know we backpack a lot and we have kind of figured out what works and doesn't work for us. |
| 0:51.4 | I've narrowed it down to the get so is legit. |
| 0:55.0 | Yep, because it comes down to weight and then footprint width for us because we're |

| 1:21.5 | So I've used, this is a |
| 1:23.8 | a serie pH 20 which is a stabilizing head basically yeah it's a what do you call |
| 1:30.5 | these not a stabilizing head it's a uh |
| 1:34.3 | gimble head right yeah and what that does is it it it kind of counter levers the |
| 1:41.5 | the weight of the heavy glass that you're using or the heavy optic because what |
| 1:49.0 | happens is is when you roll it back it keeps it centered and balanced the camera and so the more |
| 1:55.7 | balanced the object is like if you put it on just a fluid head and you have a |
