Tripod Carrying

Tripod Carrying

How To Choose Tripod ?

A friend of mine has a rule of thumb when selecting tripods: “Buy the heaviest, sturdiest you can carry”. He has a point there, a tripod is used for support. A small weak one might be easy to carry around, but isn’t much help if it isn’t really stable.

Personally I have a Benro C-2691M8 I like it because the long legs. With the legs extended I do not have to raise the center column and still have the viewfinder eye-level. I wouldn’t recommend a tripod that you have to raise the center column on to be able to use. That will just cancel out some of the stability provided by a tripod.

Another nice feature of a tripod might be that you have different angles for the legs. Sometimes I have used this to raise one leg horizontally and placing it upon a ledge when I wanted to get closer to the ledge.

Also the head is important. I like a regular ball head. Some like the 3 way heads, it’s a matter of taste. Some think the ball heads are harder to get level with the horizon. I always have the grid enabled in the viewfinder on my F80 so I don’t find this to be a problem.

Either way, I find a head with quick release plates to be very handy. I always have the plate on my camera and just snap it into the head when I want to shoot. I also have an extra plate for my other camera or when I am with a friend and want to share the tripod.

But no matter what brand you select. I would go for a Benro tripod that is large enough to work with without having to bend to much to look through the viewfinder, and is heavy enough to support my camera/lens-

combination. If I bought a small, light tripod I would just have it in my closet since it wouldn’t do the work for me. On the other hand, sometimes I curse myself when carrying that big, heavy thing, but in the end it is worth it
