Thank you planet5D Xrite and Tenba for making me a winner of this wonderful giveaway!!

MeVIDEO Travel Video Tripod

Via MeFOTO:

We want MeVIDEO to be a brand that values the look and feel of a product as much as its features and functionality. From its sleek aluminum finish to all the features packed into this tripod, we’re pretty sure you’ll be happy with the way it looks just as much as the footage you shoot with it.

More info on Kickstarter page.

MeVIDEO Travel Tripods Features:

Forged, Cast and Machined Aluminum
The side panels of the video head are made with aluminum castings. These are made by pouring molten aluminum into the mold. The spider of the tripod is forged which is produced under great pressure which results in great strength. Parts of the tripod are dull polished to give them a brushed aluminum accent.

Anodized Finish
Available in both Black and Titanium, each machined aluminum part is coated with an anodized finish which provides the product with a layer of protection.

Reverse folding design
The legs reverse fold creating a compact travel friendly tripod.

Converts to Monopod
With a simple untwist and twist, you can combine the leg and center column to form a monopod.

Leveling Center Column
A leveling base is attached to the top of the center column making it easy to quickly level the head independently of the tripod.

Removable Flat Base Head
The video head can be removed and used on other flat surfaces such as certain sliders, jibs, half ball adapters and more. You can also mount another head with a 3/8″-16 thread.

2-in-1 Column
The center column can be used as a long column for additional height and short column for low to the ground shots.

I absolutely love planet5D! It’s got all the hottest gear and great writeups about new products, it’s my go to site for reading about the Canon Mark line!
The imagery on the site is stunning! Sometimes I just like looking at the images to get new ideas on how I can stay competitive in the industry.
planet5D has always been a source of timely and relevant information for me – one of my favorite industry blogs on the net.  I’m so glad I entered to win this contest as I REALLY wanted this new light meter.
I still own a Sekonic from my college days, almost 20 years ago, and it still works like new.  I’m so glad that I’ll be able to add their latest feature-rich light meter to my camera bag, and I’m sure it will be an important part of my workflow on set for capturing the highest quality images.  A great big thanks to planet5D and Sekonic – I’m a big fan of both!  You both rock!

Mike:

“What could be better than launching your email app and reading another edition of the planet5D blog? I know… you are saying “Nothing is better than that!” But you are wrong, because opening it and seeing an email from planetMitch telling you you won free stuff from planet5D and a cool sponsor is even better!  Seriously though, I’ve been enjoying the always informative and entertaining planet5D blog newsletter and website for several years.  Winning $100 in Musicbed credit is just icing on the cake. Thanks Musicbed and planetMitch!

-Mike, Harvest, Alabama”

Raymond:

My name is Raymond and i am so happy to be able to tell you about how excited i am to have win this giveaway from planet5D. Its hard to put into words what this wining Musicbed giveaway on planet5D can do for a person who sometime thinks that giveaway are just put out there to get people hopes up. I can never say a off about the great things the happen on facebook. I just love planet5D for putting this giveaway and so much more out there for people to read. The more a person knows the better the world becomes. Thank You!!

Hudson:

I am super stoked to have won one of these Music Bed gift cards! Its really great that planet5D partners with companies like Musicbed to do neat giveaways like this. It definently builds the film and music community. As a filmmaker I have used Musicbed a number of times. It is really great that they enable Filmmakers like myself to have access to professional music and soundtracks that would normally cost a couple grand to either license or otherwise have custom scored. At the same time it enables real musicians to get their work out there and make a profit off of their tracks. planet5D is a great place to also see new gear plus the blogs help filmmakers see new perspectives on filmmaking, enabling more creativity. I think more filmmakers need to know about companies like Musicbed, so I think its great that planet5D is able to both collaborate and get these names out there!

Ulises:

I’m excited to win the prize and I love planet5D because it keeps me informed of updates and news from the visual world. It’s fantastic

John:

My thanks to planet5D and MusicBed for allowing me the opportunity to win! These are my go-to sites for the latest news, cameras, equipment, reviews and music and more! They provide with up-to-date information and content whenever I need it, allowing me to expand my knowledge in the photo and video industry, giving me the power to create better content. Thanks again!

Chris:

I am thrilled to have won the Musicbed giveaway on planet5D! The licensing service that Musicbed offers is exactly what I need to give my current project a boost. Thanks planet5D, you’re awesome!

Kaustubh:

So glad to have won the Musicbed giveaway on planet5D! As a budding audio visual creator, this is just the right impetus to steer me in the right direction. Thanks a lot..!!!”


LookLabs SpeedLooks and DSC Labs – March 2016

Martí:

Hi everyone! I’m Martí, an amateur filmmaker from Barcelona, and today I realized I won the awesome Speedlooks giveaway!

I’d like to thank both planet5D and Looklabs for this giveaway, it’s people like them that have helped me (and still do) to improve my low-budget films. About a year ago i bought a Panasonic Lumix GH4 after reading some postst from planet5D (and some other sites as well), watching reviews and tests, and all that kind of stuff.

For someone like me who can’t afford a film school it’s great to be able to have websites like planet5D that teach all kind of stuff around mirrorless and DSLR filmmaking, and now this Speedlooks pack will make it much easier for me to color grade my shots.

Thanks again and I wish the best luck to everyone who participates in any other giveaway!

And Shawn:

My name is Shawn Im an actor and a film maker I cant believe i won i usually don’t win these types of things at all, That comes to show that you should enter when you have a chance to enter a giveaway. I’m literally on planet5D all the time checking out the latest news, ideas and inventions when it comes to film making they are always on their game when it comes to that. They are a big help to Indie film makers like my self. I cant wait I’m just super excited to use the give away prizes..Planet5D rocks.  Thanks.
