It's built solid, button feels tactile and not rattly, holds camera and battery firmly. Grip feels good and the strap is great, I've walked around Portugal for almost a week with it round my neck... See more

Received item broken

Took almost 2 weeks to receive my order. When I received it, the tripod head was completely broken off. When I reached out to customer support on the same day with pictures through email, it took them 4 days to authorize a new one to be shipped. I still haven’t received my replacement and it’s been a total of 3.5 weeks since I originally ordered the tripod. Horrible service! Very unhappy!

Shocking

I have already sent images showing the problem with the product and had no reply. Not happy at all. One part fell apart causing the led to land on the floor.

Order never arrived

Well I placed 2 orders with smallrig. One arrived as expected, but the second one has been seating in “processing” for almost 3 weeks. I looked into and found out it’s being sent to a random address I never lived at (despite me placing another order that got to my place without issue). I raised a case to ask for a refund and haven’t heard anything from them since.

Excellent product

Excellent product. I would suggest you to make a better user manual. In particular, there is no description of how to change the battery and the user may be confused if they do not move the bottom part and release the battery door. I am talking about the L bracket for Canon R5 mark2 and Canon R6 mark2.

Thank you so much for your recognition of our product and for your valuable feedback! 🙏

We take your concern about the lack of battery replacement instructions in the user manual very seriously.

We have recorded your suggestion and forwarded it to the product documentation team. This section will be added to a future version of the user manual to make the operation guide clearer and easier to understand.

Thank you again for your support and thoughtful feedback! If you have any further suggestions or encounter any problems, please feel free to let us know.

I needed some parts for my lights

I needed some parts for my lights. I was quoted a price and specifically asked the parts be delivered from Canada. However, they came from China and I had to pay import duties on top of the price quoted.
I should have been informed of this before hand.
By the the parts are great and so are the lights.

Almost perfect

Looks and works great! Except for one small concern, the X-Clutch hydraulic handle has a small wobble/nudge when used. I fear this will lead to its earlier degradation compared to the tribex's other components over time.

I would put 0 stars if I could!

I would put 0 stars if I could!! Ordered a cage that says it fits the Sony A7V, initially it seems to but it DOESNT! Cage fell apart seems to be made with very cheap material. I got that cage within 2 days of ordering. Well since it doesn’t fit and I need a cage I ordered another one. I ordered it a week ago and the order is STILL processing. Extremely unprofessional on behalf of this company 5 business days have gone by and my order still isn’t processed. This will be my last purchase from this company. A huge fail on both ends. Poor customer service and extremely poor actual service. The cage itself did not fit my camera that it said it would, took it to multiple camera stores they said the same. I thought this was game changer but it has been a complete waste of time and money do not shop with small rig!!!

Doesn't respond to emails or PayPal…

Doesn't respond to emails or PayPal messages for requesting a return. Now I'm stuck with the item. I have so many of their products and love them - disappointed. Just don't buy directly from the manufacturer’s website.

Quality gear, excellent support

I ordered several items and most of them turned out to be excellent, with great build quality that exceeded my expectations. Their customer service went above and beyond when I reached out with a concern, resolving it quickly and fairly. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again.
