How to use a DSLR camera monopod

This is because when using a tripod, the stabilization function may cause the image quality to deteriorate.

The lens anti-shake technology of the SLR camera has brought a new world to photographers, and the latest anti-shake technology can reduce the speed by four stops. However, many lens manuals state that when the camera is using a tripod, the lens stabilization function should be turned off.

This is determined by the principle of lens stabilization.

The anti-shake mechanism of the lens detects the abnormal movement of the lens through an electronic gyroscope, and restores the normal path of the optical path by adjusting the floating lens in the lens group.

However, when the camera is fixed to the tripod, although the irregular movement of the camera is minimized, it will inevitably have some effects due to the vibration of the reflector, the shutter press and accidental touch, etc., under the constraints of the tripod, these vibrations are smaller and more frequent than the shaking amplitude and frequency of the human hand due to physiological reasons, which is difficult to be absorbed and digested by the anti-shake mechanism, and even superimposes, bringing the opposite effect.

Therefore, it is a good idea to turn off the stabilization function of the lens when shooting with a tripod to avoid possible loss of image quality.

The monopod is easy to carry, and many photographers have fallen in love with this tool, and what should be considered in the use is:

The height, with the gimbal is slightly lower than the chin, so that you don't have to lean over too much when framing, and it is fixed, not only the quick-release plate, but also the gimbal should be locked, so that the camera and monopod can be connected as one. In the end, it is necessary to choose whether to hoof feet or nail feet depending on the situation.

A tripod to stabilize the support of the camera. The average consumer often ignores the importance of a tripod when buying a digital camera, and 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, etc. The role of a tripod cannot be ignored for both amateur and professional users, and its main function is to stabilize the camera to achieve a certain photographic effect.

Some professional photographers tend to bring a tripod when taking pictures, especially when shooting outdoors. Attaching the camera to a tripod prevents camera shake from affecting the image. So why is the camera on a tripod and not on a quadpod?

Camera tripod

This?

The purpose of a tripod is to hold the camera. Because three points determine a plane, any given three points are on a definite plane. Stretch the tripod open, the three feet can fit well with the three points on the ground, at this time, the ground is uneven and it does not matter, because when placing the tripod, only care about the plane determined by the three points on the ground where the three feet are located, and no matter how uneven the other places outside the three points do not change the plane determined by the three points.

Combined with the stability of the triangle, the entire tripod stands firmly on the ground, and the camera fixed on the tripod is stable without shaking. As long as you adjust the focus and aperture, no matter how long you ** have been, the camera will not shoot blurry ** due to shaking.

If you use a quad tripod, when the three feet are placed, the placement of the fourth foot will be affected by the unevenness of the ground, and we must adjust the length of the fourth foot so that it falls exactly on the ground. Since photographers often have to shoot in different places, and the ground conditions are different in each place, it becomes a very troublesome thing to adjust the fourth foot for each shot. Three feet are enough to support the camera, and adding an extra foot doesn't do any good except add to the trouble, so naturally there is no need to use a quad tripod.

If it is on a flat ground, then it is okay to place a tripod or a quadrupod, as long as the four feet of the quad are adjusted on a flat surface. In fact, the tables and chairs in our homes are all four-legged, and some swivel chairs even have five or six legs. Generally speaking, the floor of the home is flat, and the table can be placed smoothly as long as the four feet of the table are placed on a flat surface, and the table is usually not moved freely after it is placed.

In addition, the boxy table top supported by four feet is also more practical and beautiful. However, the situation is different with tripods for holding cameras, and photographers often have to shoot outdoors, where the ground is often uneven, so we have to choose a tripod.

Start by removing the camera tripod. First, adjust the tripod. Place the tripod in a balanced position and fix the angle.

The next step is to adjust the length of the tripod, the tripod is divided into several sections, after determining the height, adjust the height of the tripod one by one, and when it is adjusted to the specified height, tighten it with the tripod fixing screws.

A tripod is a kind of support used to stabilize the camera in order to achieve certain photographic effects, and the positioning of the tripod is very important. Tripods can be divided into wood, high-strength plastic, aluminum alloy, steel, volcanic stone, carbon fiber and other types according to the material classification. Generally, people often ignore the importance of a tripod when they use 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, etc.

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