The New, New Gear. 2025 Edition

I’m not bashing them I use some of their products… but I directly remember Cody saying they would never sell stands at the XOP price point and that they would never be in competition with each other. I wonder if stand sales are down or what changed.

The XOP and LWCG relationship went sour. They are no longer partners. They are now competitors.
 
Looking at other cast stands on the market. I am hoping for 300-$350 but wouldn’t be surprised to see $400-450
I'm betting on the $400+ option. Looks like these stands will have frame lock and some of their other features. So i doubt they'd include that and then charge the same as Novix does for the helo/echo

If I was a betting man I would say you are absolutely right.

If they wanted to stick the screws to other companies they would price it lower.
 

Limited run of all K4 packs in multicam.

They never had a partnership the only thing they have in common is xop had a brief time when Cody was designing their stands. What I’m saying is competitors at the same price point. Obviously they are competing for the same market.
 
Don’t know anything about that belay device but new from hang free
