Please help me choose a tripod How to choose a tripod

The weight of 40D+XXB is not small, my advice is either not to buy it, if you want to buy it, it is a budget of 800-1K. When I bought a shelf, I ran all over Xi'an, and in the end I was sure that I had to grit my teeth and buy 1k or so.

This is the entry shelf, but it ensures the professional quality it has, stable, sturdy, suitable for wide-angle, mid-focus range use, if you want to be light, then change the cf shelf, lighter, **almost doubled, if you often shoot ecology, then this gimbal can definitely not meet your use, very simple, there is a small displacement in the locked state and the free state, this displacement is terrible when shooting in telephoto.

If you don't plan to continue burning on the road of photography, that is, 40d+xxb has been playing, then buy a cheap shelf, anyway, the requirements are not high.

According to the experience of many people, the shelf is a very important piece of equipment, which should occupy about 1 10 of the total value of all your photographic equipment, if you are a birdman, an ecological master, then the shelf is probably much more expensive than my fuselage.

The shelf body, the first domestic Bainuo, Weifeng's shelf is expensive and feels a bit bulky. Also, if you're particularly concerned about stability, use the three-stage form, and if you care about compactness, use the four-stage form. If you have a good budget, buy CF materials, or you will be a little tired.

Gimbal ......If you have money and have high requirements for tripods, you can buy Kailash's, which is very expensive, but it is worth it, otherwise it is just a random platform.

If you're a fan of eco-photography, you're probably going to have to choose something like Acre.

Now my A227+KB1 seems to be much cheaper, and you can take it all within 800. The last time a friend met to do an activity, 600 rounds, very good, very cost-effective.

Your camera is not a small investment.

If the tripod investment is too low, the money you spend on the camera will be greatly discounted on the actual use.

And once there is a problem with the tripod and the camera is broken, it is also a huge loss.

So the tripod must be bought well. It is better to be imported, ** is relatively high. There will be no reliable tripod to choose from within 500, and a slightly better gimbal will cost 400 yuan.

The most important thing is to buy an erection tripod, the minimum requirements, the domestic tripod can be within a year, and it is basically garbage after a year.

First of all, I would like to recommend you a cheaper Weifeng 6662A with a shipping fee of 170-180 yuan.

A tripod at the price of 500 is a lot, but it usually has to be equipped with a gimbal, which is definitely beyond your budget.

Choose Benro's A-350EX tripod with KB-0A gimbal, which should be the most "simple" configuration of Benro, with a shipping fee of about 580.

I won't give you a link.,Find a good credit to buy it.,But it seems that Bainuo's is almost the same in the physical purchase**.。

There are several ways to choose a tripod:

1. In terms of stability, the fewer the number of sections, the more stable, the heavier the shelf, the more stable, the central axis will be stable if there is no or no rise, and it will be more stable when nailed to the mud search ground.

2. From the perspective of storage, the more sections, the easier it is to store, the better the reverse folding, and the better the central shaft can be lifted.

3. In terms of portability, carbon fiber is lighter than iron pipes and steel pipes, the more sections there are, the better the portability, and the more convenient it is to detect disturbances with its own shelf straps.

4. In terms of durability, rotary switches are more durable than snap switches, and iron pipes and steel pipes are more durable than carbon fibers.

5. From the point of view of practicality, the snap switch is more practical than the rotation of the opening and leakage, the practical one that can be folded back is more practical than the one that cannot be folded, the one that can be disassembled into a monopod is more practical than the one that cannot be disassembled, and the one that can install a separate PTZ is more practical than the fixed PTZ.

When choosing a tripod, the main thing to look at is whether the tightness of each moving part and connection is smooth, and whether there are scratches on the appearance. A good tripod will be very tight after screwing and connecting everywhere, and the whole body will not loosen at all, and become a whole.

A tripod is a kind of support used to stabilize the camera to achieve certain photographic effects, and the positioning of the tripod is very important. According to the classification of materials, tripods can be divided into wood, high-strength plastic materials, alloy materials, steel materials, volcanic stones, carbon fibers and other materials.

Generally, people often ignore the importance of a tripod when using a digital camera to take pictures, in fact, the best shooting is often inseparable from the help of a tripod, such as star track shooting, flowing water shooting, night scene shooting, macro shooting and other aspects of shooting. The role of a tripod cannot be ignored for both amateur and professional users, its main function is to stabilize the camera to achieve a certain photographic effect. The most common is to use a tripod for a long time, if the user wants to shoot a night scene or a surging track, it will take a longer time, at this time, if you want the camera not to shake, you need the help of a tripod.

So, the first factor in choosing a tripod is stability.

1. Height: Determine the height and low degree of the ground, you need your tripod to achieve the type of look you want. Also, consider your height – if you're tall, you'll need a tripod that's tall enough for you to use comfortably without cringing.

Many tripods also come with a **leg that allows you to increase your height.

2. Weight: If you're going to do a lot of walking with a tripod, you may want to consider a lightweight material like carbon fiber or aluminum. Keep in mind, though, that carbon fiber tripods tend to be on the more expensive side. Aluminum** is much cheaper and slightly heavier.

3. Stability: Depending on the weight of the camera and the type of terrain you will be using your tripod, stability is an important factor. The lock on the tripod leg can be a clamshell lock or a twist lock.

Personally, I prefer twist locks because I find that sometimes the flip lock doesn't lock completely, and my camera slowly sinks, which can cause long** blurry due to movement. Also, the feet of the tripod are important. I do a lot of shooting outdoors, so the feet on my tripod are rubber with metal spikes that hold it to the ground.

First of all, look at how big the tripod bracket you need, your favorite color, and then choose the load-bearing, stability and material of the bracket according to your own use.

1.Look at the material and weigh the weight. When choosing a tripod, you must first determine the material of the tripod, if you choose a carbon fiber tripod, you should see whether the carbon fiber surface is smooth, the surface of the carbon fiber tripod will have a layer of regular winding texture, and you should see whether the texture is messy and rough when buying.

Secondly, the weight of the tripod should be weighed, and the carbon fiber tripod is 30%-40% lighter than the general tripod. Take a look at the comparison to know what a carbon fiber tripod is. 2.

Looking at the diameter of the leg tube, the maximum leg diameter can be generally classified into 32mm, 28mm, 25mm, 22mm, etc., generally speaking, the thicker the leg tube, the greater the load-bearing capacity of the tripod, and the stronger the stability. 3.Looking at the number of legs, the legs are divided into 3 sections, 4 sections, 5 sections, etc., the general situation is that the fewer the number of legs, the better its stability, but its portability will be greatly reduced.

Buying a camera tripod rather than choosing a brand should consider the material of the tripod, now the mainstream tripod brands are Gitzo, Manfrot, Benro and other brands, the quality of these tripods is very good, among which the carbon fiber material is very cost-effective and the use experience is very good, the landlord can choose according to his actual situation.

Choose a tripodThe first point is practicality。It's enough, and there's no need to spend money on features you don't use. The second point is good stability

The third point is that it is easy to carry.

Anyone who plays photography will have a tripod, and a tripod is something that people love and hate. It is loved because you have to use a tripod to take pictures in many environments. There are tripods to create more effects.

It is hated because all tripods are inconvenient to carry. Stable is not cheap, cheap is not portable, portable is unstable! It's a topic that can never be unified.

In choosing a tripod, a little personal thought is provided here.

The first point: just be practical, don't pursue the brand. A tripod is a relatively tricky thing in photographic equipment, because there is a very long difference between cheap and expensive.

Unlike the lens, the new head is basically the same, and the second-hand head will not be too different, if the difference is big, there must be quality problems. But tripods are different, ranging from tens of dollars to tens of thousands of yuan. There are all kinds of materials.

So at this time, you have to be clear about what you want to use it for, and whether you need to use a good tripod for the environment you are shooting in.

Practical, from two aspects, one, how big a tripod to use for your equipment, if it is an ordinary lens or it is unlikely to use a telephoto lens in the future, then you can sell a less stable one. Second, the environment you want to use, if you generally shoot in a relatively good environment. It will not be filmed in extremely windy mountains, especially cold snow, or in high temperatures.

An ordinary one will do. If you're going to shoot in such an environment, consider buying a professional tripod.

The second point is good stabilityStability is a relative indicator, you are stable in a good environment, and unstable in a bad environment. Your device is light and stable, and your device is unstable when it is large.

Therefore, you should try to find a stable one according to your own actual situation. Stability is directly related to **, the better the stability, the more expensive **. Judging from the current usage, the stability of a shelf of about 200 yuan on a treasure is good.

The third point is portability. This is important, and if you can't feel it on flat ground, you can try to go to the top of the mountain to take pictures of the sunrise or sunset. By the time you climb to the top of the mountain with a giant tripod, you'll know how important portability is.

If conditions permit, with the same stability, try to choose a lighter and smaller tripod.

It's still the same sentence,Stable is not cheap, cheap is not portable, portable is unstable! When choosing a tripod, you'd better try it with your camera, and if you're shopping at a certain treasure, you must change it if it's not suitable. Until it fits.

The goal is to choose the most stable tripod within your acceptable range. If it's portable, it's perfect.

Choosing the right tripod depends on what kind of performance you value, such as:Stability, storage, portability, durabilityDegree. Depending on the performance, your choice will be different. If you want good stability, you have to choose the one with fewer nodes, because the fewer the number of sections, the more stable, the heavier the shelf, the more stable, the central axis will be stable without or without rising, and it will be more stable if it is nailed to the dirt ground; If you want to choose one that is easy to store, you have to choose one with a large number of sections, and the more sections the easier it is to store; If you want to choose something that is easy to carry, you have to choose a lighter material, carbon fiber is lighter than iron pipes and steel pipes, and it is more convenient if it comes with a shelf strap; If you want to be durable, you have to choose a rotary switch, the snap switch should be durable, and the iron pipe and steel pipe should be more durable than the carbon fiber.
