Niwaki Tripod pro

Posted by Andrew . Perkins on October 20, 2023 at 6:27pm

Has anyone got one of these ? I am after another tripod a small one and can't make my mind up whether to go with a Hendon 6ft or Niwaki 7ft pro both fully adjustable, trying to get a sweet spot for one I'd use all the time . I don't like the ladder higher than the hedge a problem I've come across with the 10ft one I've got, which isn't quite big enough for my tallest hedges but to big for most of the others . I normally use platform but I can't keep jumping off them  even at 4-5ft heigh me knees be knacked before I hit 40 .

I can't quite understand why the niwaki fully extended only increases the height by 20cm ideally it should be bigger ? The niwaki pro a bit narrow than other brands which may make it easier to manoevuver and get in/out of van . The Hendon 6ft fully extened will probably add 35cm ish to the height ? due to futher extension on the Hendon it may come relatively close to the Niwaki which has me thinking is it worth the much bigger cost of the niwaki.

    I've got the 4ft Niwaki one and the 8ft henchman with adjustable legs. I find that standing on the top step of the niwaki gives me near enough the same height as the 'top' step on the Henchman, which could be aroud the 5ft mark, as the top step has that frame around it.  Yes you can adjust the legs on the henchman to get more height but I rarely take it out now as the Niwaki fits in the van nicely, it's incredibly lightweight and I can do most sensible hedges with that and an extension on the hedge trimmer. For bigger hedges I get the 14ft Henchman out.

    It looks like the Hendon and Henchman are quite similar in that they don't allow you to stand on the top step of the ladder, where the Niwaki does. Not that you'd want to be too high up and balancing on the top step!
