Lmao I thought the same thing when I was looking at them online . When you get them it ' s the biggest surprise . The legs are huge and very sturdy . I would definitely recommend it if weight isn ' t an issue . This combo definitely isn ' t light but it ' s not like it takes two people to lift it . Basically no backpack cinematography . The head has a few small quirks but no deal breakers . The lock to hold the plate is plastic and stiff so I took some wax to it and that helped a lot . is the tripod . I ' m 6 ' 5 and I have very big hands . <| sep |> I ' ve spent like way too much time on Istereanydeal today . I just want crossreference where the best deal is XD <| sep |> IMO , relying on a telemetry stream to a laptop for data logging is a bad idea . Even if you have a bulletproof system and let ' s face it , nothing in this competition is bulletproof except perhaps absurdly overbuilt steel spaceframed you are going to have headaches when it comes to things like bandwidth and different logging rates . Sure , it will work for so please things like monitoring coolant temp but if you ever need to do anything more intensive like transient loading damper position sensors or strain gauges at high frequency you are going to have a nightmare dealing with packet loss , or even just packet assembly and handling . Our team is developing a standalone loggertelemetry handling unit which is a Raspberry Pi with a handful of peripberals . I think this is the future for data logging , especially FSAE . Our whole setup is going to end up costing less than $ 100 and should outperform an off the shelf logger in everything except perhaps reliability again not bulletproof and waterproofing .
