The ordinary users when traveling photography is probably the most reluctant to bring a tripod . However, if you want to shoot a higher high-definition landscape photos , or want to record the self-timer or remote control your own beautiful moments , no matter what type of user you are, the tripod is very important .
Camera tripod divided into two main parts: the following "feet" ( foot tube body ) and above the " frame" ( tripod head) , in addition to the central axis ,quick release plate ,head plate , stand bags, bags of stone , hooks and other small accessories. 1 , the main stand
Part of the " foot" is divided into tripod, monopod , tripod also includes large-scale professional base for a fixed tripod .

Tripod material and weight:
Tripod can be divided according to the classification of wood materials , high-strength plastic material, alloy steel , carbon fiber and other current tripod with aluminum and carbon fiber material , mostly , most low-end aluminum alloy tripod , it 's The advantage is durable, but heavier weight , portable performance in general . In recent years, the trend of gradual formation of carbon fiber material , it has a better than aluminum toughness , light weight, etc. , under the same load conditions , its aluminum tripod weighs only 2/3 , but the price is expensive, generally higher than more than twice as expensive aluminum alloy .
In addition , the shape of the foot tube diameter thickness , wall Baohou other indicators of the weight and stability of the tripod is also affected , but the producers are in the design and use their grades to match , not too important purchase factor.
Camera tripod only reach a certain weight amount , set to stabilize , but if too much load , there is not very convenient to carry , especially for long-distance travel often Waipai or user is not a small burden, which is the most headache photographer , but also to buy a tripod facing the first " dilemma ." Lock mode
?
Locking telescoping legs have many different ways , if you are not careful , sometimes pinch your fingers . The most common and easiest to use is the board button ( such as Manfrotto , Weifeng ) , but this approach requires work to be excellent, otherwise it is easy to wear and loosen , not tighten .Another one is the spiral ( If Admiralty Neo series , Gitzo ) , by rotating the leg lock , there are no outstanding lock fittings, very easy to carry and storage . Theoretically, pull the button on the operation should be more flexible than spiral . There is also a less common bolt type, as well, but the highlight of the bolt knob caught other items often inconvenient to carry .
Number of expansion joints:
Open the fastest two sections tripod , best stability , but close up the longest , most not easy to carry , the market is not very common ; three sections tripod is the most common , open the speed and stability of the center, four feet However, section five or more sections of the sorties of the tripod , lightweight and compact means manufacturers to see more emphasis on stability, high expansion rate , more than the number of telescopic design mostly used in digital tripod ( eg Admiralty digital beauty series ) .
Stand away after both short and easy to carry , but also stable during erection, which is an optional tripod second " dilemma ."
Based on the structure of the foot pipe casing used , the closer , the diameter of the finer , more unstable . Therefore, should be used as much as possible by the use of the leg , according to the height requirements, first pull out the second quarter , followed by the downward pull , pull the end of the last leg .
Open angle adjustment:
Some three tripod legs can be adjusted separately at different angles , which for low angle shooting or uneven ground , such as slopes or stairs fine to use , very convenient, generally have advanced some of this functionality tripod .
Feet Type
?
Ultra-low opening angle:
According to different types of ground erection , you can choose different pads. Ordinary tripod adopt a fixed hard bakelite pads , hard wear , suitable for most floor types. Superior -type tripod, you can choose to use the rubber feet and nails foot. Non-slip rubber feet good performance, easy to slide , mainly for indoor floor , such as carpets, wood floors, marble. Nail mat made ??of metal material , the end is very sharp, mainly suitable for outdoor ground , especially the wild or hillside .
