I wonder why the 824 was discontinued.
I’m starting to feel like I’m owed a commission!!And just got me as well…
824 on the way.
From reading through past post, all I can gather is that Slik changed the number to 834 . It’s essentially the same tripod as the 824.I wonder why the 824 was discontinued.
That's the best way to do it. If you are happy with the ST124 for your needs I don't know that you need to change though.I may pick one of these up and sell my ST124 if I like it more…
Mine was also delivered today, but it came with foam grips on two of the legs.The 824 came in today. Here are some photos. For reference it is next to a small Sirui T-004KX, also added a water bottle for scale. I’m 6’1 and it’s plenty tall enough to stand and glass. It’s Very very sturdy as well.
Mine had the foam grips as well, I cut them off. The foam creates more bulk without serving any function. Much easier to get in and out of the pack without the foam.Mine was also delivered today, but it came with foam grips on two of the legs.

What determines whether or not a Slik tripod has the foam? I ordered a 634 a while back from Amazon, no foam. The 634 shown on the GoHunt store website has foam. There are also many retailer photos of the 824 without foam.Mine had the foam grips as well, I cut them off. The foam creates more bulk without serving any function.

I cant be sure what determines the foam. Every pic of the 824 I've seen has foam, the 834 (Updated Model) does not, I think this is the only difference between 824 and 834. Either way, it is easily removed and makes for a more streamline package.What determines whether or not a Slik tripod has the foam? I ordered a 634 a while back from Amazon, no foam.

Exact same feedback from me (received today). A little heavier than expected with head on itReceived mine.
Seems solid, pleased for the $$$
Have the foam as well…
I’ve shot off my 834 just fine, and according to the specs I tracked down, the 824 is actually rated for more weight.Good for shooting?

Mine has foam. First time using carbon, does it get as cold as aluminum does? I always left the foam on because it was nice to grab when it starts getting cold outside.Mine had the foam grips as well, I cut them off. The foam creates more bulk without serving any function.

Not as cold as aluminum, but enough for me to leave the foam on. It is a noticeable difference if my gloved hand rests on a foam vs no foam leg.Mine has foam.

This is my first Carbon Tripod as well so I can’t speak yet on the difference between Aluminum. But, I never hold the Tripod long enough to have the cold effect my hands.Mine has foam.
