YC Onion Pineta Tripod
At the IBC 2022 the mentioned Al tripod was revealed. The carbon fiber version will be released later. Read and watch below

Some features
- The tripod and the bowl head each comes with a level bubble
- The tripod has 2x mounting holes for accessories. Too bad they don't have anti-rotation Arri holes
- The bowl head has anti-rotation screws
- Tightening/loosening of the bowl head is done using a lever on the top side so no need of a short handle below the bowl head like the iFootage Gazelle Fastbowl TC9 Tripod
- Will need a quick release system to release any item attached to the bowl head. From the video I believe the bowl head is non-removable from the tripod. YC Onion has its own quick release system.
- Lowest level it can reach is 150mm
- The most interesting feature is that all the 3 legs can be adjusted up/down simultaneously and locked with a clamp on the top side of each leg. It's similar in design to the Sachtler Tripod Flowtech 75 series but much cheaper
Understand there's also a new fluid head FH60..................hmmmmm
SmallRig External Battery
SmallRig has released V-Mount external batteries of 50/99/150 Wh capacities with digital display indicating balanced capacity
6700mAh(99Wh/14.8V) with OLED Screen, 65W PD USB-C Fast Charging, D-TAP & USB-A and Dual DC Ports
One note. If you drop the battery with the large OLED screen on a hard floor I believe it'll crack
FI, I dropped my FXLION Nano Two 99 Wh battery on the tiled floor twice and the casing came a bit loose. I used superglue and glued it back.
Luckily the battery came with a slightly slanted small LCD display screen. This prevents its direct contact with the hard floor. See below picture
