FotoPro Eagle E7 Tripod Review (Comparison, D850, D500, Pano)

In this long video, I share my thoughts on the FotoPro Eagle E7 tripod and gimbal head combination. I also discuss some of the ways I use this in combination with my Nikon D850 and 500mm PF lens. Then I compare and contrast this tripod to the Really Right Stuff TVC-3X, as well as share some thoughts new tripod buyers might want to consider. The video wraps up with a short segment where I test this new tripod and head in making a pano, which I had printed 10' x 2'.

I put timestamps below so hopefully you can move more quickly to something that might be useful to you (again, I realize this is a crazy long video - just wanted to share as much information as I could about using this new tripod). I appreciate your comments (I'm open to learning better ways to do things, so if you have suggestions, please don't hesitate). I'm also happy to answer any related questions. Thanks for taking a look.
