Hello, this is accountant Sajin. Today, I would like to review the new model of the Photoclam tripod, the 24i P model. This tripod is similar to the one I reviewed before, the Yogo 2441 P model. I have been using this tripod for about 3 and a half years daily, and I really think it's fantastic. I use it very roughly, throwing it around here and there, so some parts where the plates connect are quite broken. Despite using it so roughly, the feel of using it has not changed at all in the 3 and a half years. The durability is really great, to the point where I feel satisfied to the extent of thinking it's a product that can last a lifetime. If you consider it as an upgraded version of that product, it should be good. It is made of a 40-ton high-strength carbon material provided by Doree Isar.

In the case of the 1645 Meister lineup that I reviewed before, now they use 60-ton carbon material, but in fact, even if it's 40-ton, it is quite high elasticity. And now, since the Meister lineup is in a high price range, the models are now in the professional lineup, so the price range is half of that, making it a product with higher price accessibility for both professional artists and high amateurs. By the way, speaking of the 40-ton, to be precise, it means that 40 tons of force is needed to extend 1mm of carbon material. For example, if you need 10kg of force to extend something like a spring by 1mm, then the elasticity coefficient would be 10kg/mm. As for the fabric, since it is made up of an area, when you extend 1mm of fabric to 2mm, it will require approximately

If you need 40 tons of force, then it becomes 40 tons per square millimeter. By the way, I made a mistake with the numbers when I reviewed Meister last time, but this is correct. I'm sorry for the confusion. Anyway, when you need a stronger force to extend the spring, the spring that tries to resist the force will be stronger. Similarly, if the elasticity coefficient of the material is high, it means that the resilience and restorative power are strong. The stiffness is also excellent, and it is said to be able to handle vibrations well. In the case of Fotoclam, they say that all carbon materials that go into their products are treated with 40-ton high elastic carbon. Whether it's fishing rods or golf products, they are marketing that they use carbon. However, unlike Fotoclam, most other reputable companies do not properly disclose the elasticity coefficient of carbon. In fact, now we are heading towards luxury tripods.

Famous foreign companies known for their high-priced tripods use a material called high elastic carbon at the very bottom of the legs that touch the ground, which is why they are called high elastic carbon. In many cases, only the very bottom closest to the ground is made of high elastic carbon, while the rest is made of regular carbon material. However, Photoclam manufactures all materials with high elastic carbon, and even during this renewal, they made the very bottom of the legs that meet the ground thicker than before. Although there is no visible difference in the outer diameter, the inner thickness has increased. The material finish is very neat without any burrs. Especially, there is a QS locking system, where you release the leg and tighten it with a knob. This makes the operation feel really great. It is very easy to release and tighten, and once it is connected, the bond is very strong.

It seems fixed. I think it might be a bit difficult for me to explain in the video, but if you try using this once, it's really nice. As I mentioned, I've been using this for 3 and a half years, and the handling of the QS locking system hasn't changed at all. Since this product has been used for three and a half years, it's been a long time. Although this is a fairly new product that I received not long ago, the handling doesn't differ much. It only has a slight decrease in friction when inserting the legs. If it has only changed this much, I believe this product really excels in durability. So, I think it's a product that is reliable in terms of both handling and durability. With the renewal this time, the bottom of the legs has become thicker, but the most important change is right at the hub. The hub has become significantly thicker. It feels like it has almost doubled in thickness.

However, the existing one is thin and gradually thickens as it meets the legs, with thick stitching from the beginning to the end. Also, in the case of a 144-inch screw, the material near the screw hole has been reinforced. The design of the part where the hub meets the legs has also been changed to look more modern. The angle adjustment lever has a much larger indentation where the thumb goes, and I found that the feel of use has significantly improved. Still, the center column locking device looks quite unique in aluminum material, but the design has been changed to be more triangular, with this part being more concave than before. This makes the center column locking device not look like a robe used on the legs, and it appears somewhat flatter above and below, making the bolt head...

As it can be adhered to the tripod hub as much as possible, it can be considered a bit more stable, and the usability is also excellent. It is very smooth when adjusting the height or loosening it. Previously, when removing the center column, the ring part at the bottom used to protrude, so it was a bit of a hassle to rotate it around and disassemble it. Now, you can simply turn it to unlock it, so you can remove the center column in reverse without necessarily disassembling the ring and install it in the opposite direction. Also, now one leg has a detachable foam piece, which helps prevent your hands from feeling cold on chilly days and allows for a better grip on the tripod. The foam doesn't provide much cushioning, so it feels a bit hard, but thanks to that, it gives a very luxurious feeling. It doesn't feel too flimsy or cheap. And still, the tolerance management.

It's very well done, so I unlock all the locks and flip this over, no matter how much I shake it, the legs don't fold in. So, if you hold it like this, it's very stable when capturing vibrations, making it great for shooting and significantly improving durability. I've mentioned it several times, but when manufacturing, it's really not easy to control tolerances. I've done a lot of manufacturing audits, and sometimes there are tricks, especially when parts are supplied from various subcontractors. No matter how much you provide molds and parts, it's quite difficult to precisely control the tolerances. Usually, tripod companies add plastic parts between the legs, facing each other, to push them in and solve the tolerance issue. The problem is that plastic materials, like rubber, harden over time.

It means it stands up, so in the case of a cheap tripod, the feel changes when used for a long time, and in severe cases, it starts to wobble, but there is no such thing in Photoklam. Since all parts are produced in the same factory, the production cost will inevitably increase, but the tolerance can be very well controlled. And when you receive it later, you can trust it much more from a consumer's perspective. In terms of product weight, it has increased slightly compared to the previous model, from about 1.63kg to 1.7kg, and the load capacity has increased slightly from 28kg to 30kg. If you look at the size, it's about 1st stage, 2nd stage, 3rd stage, and the legs are at the 4th stage, which is about 1.4m. And if you pull out the center column completely, it's about 1.7m, and if you add the board length, it's about 1.8m. If you mount the camera on top, you can shoot at about 1.9m, so the height is.

It's quite satisfactory, and actually, in fact, the Photoclam products have a slightly more inclined leg angle compared to other companies. In the case of a 2-step leg, it leans about 25 degrees, which is definitely more than the 20 degrees of other companies. Therefore, there is a slight height loss compared to the product specifications. However, by doing this, the stability increases a bit, and the probability of tipping over decreases significantly. However, due to the nature of the material, carbon tripods are inevitably vulnerable to impacts coming from the side. As the legs spread apart, it becomes easier to generate residual vibrations. Yet, designing the legs to spread out like this is an expression of confidence in being able to handle vibrations well. The central hub and locking mechanism are also made of aluminum, and there is a hard anodizing process directly from the Pro manufacturer.

We pay attention even to small parts like making washers out of bronze. By focusing on such small details, the legs fold and open smoothly, maintaining good tension. I have been using this for over 3 years, and the tension is being maintained very well. The durability is excellent. However, besides that, I have thought a lot about how I can visually show the strength and performance of this tripod. In fact, assuming I only take one photo, there isn't a big difference between using a cheap tripod or an expensive high-end one. Of course, there is a significant difference in durability, but since I haven't used it long enough to test the durability, it is difficult for me to show. The only part where differences occur is when taking multiple photos over a long period or in very cold, hot, or windy conditions.

In astrophotography, differences occur, and it's not easy to show them visually and objectively. That's why reviewers usually hang them on tripods or shoot like I used to do, with timeless shots. With just that, it seems difficult to easily feel the performance difference. So, I challenged myself to a 10-hour timelapse. I attached a new grip-type z9 body with a 400mm lens and shot overnight. Although it was taken through the office window, it may look a bit messy, but still, I can see that it was created just as it is without any post-processing. I can confirm that there is no movement at all. The z9 camera itself weighs over 1kg, so it is quite heavy, plus with the 104mm lens.

The lens is quite heavy. When combined with this, it can be considered one of the heaviest combinations without attaching lenses like a 400mm single lens or a 600mm single lens worth millions of won. In this state, after ordering to take one shot every 10 seconds and supplying power, I went home. The next morning, I came out again, wondering if it had worked properly. Upon checking, it turned out that it was taken very well without any movement. If it lasts for over 10 hours with this level of combination, I think I have sufficiently proven its performance. For your information, the ball head used together is the Photoclam 42NS, and I would like to mention that the playback time is too long, so I am showing the timelapse at double speed currently.

I'm going to finish the review of the proud Korean-made tripod, Photoclaim PTC 24p. It's really not easy to come across domestic products in the camera and peripheral device market, especially when it comes to high-end products. It seems like the market conditions are tough. Nevertheless, continuously producing such wonderful products is truly remarkable. Each part is produced in a single factory for this domestic product, so it's great that you can easily receive after-sales service if any issues arise. Of course, I haven't had any experience of receiving defective Photoclaim products so far. So, I will end the video here today. If today's video was helpful and enjoyable as always, please like and subscribe. Thank you.
