How to fold the camera tripod?

Camera tripod is a common auxiliary equipment in photography, which can help us to stabilize the camera better and is convenient to use. However, some friends are not very clear about the use, installation and disassembly of the camera tripod, so in order to let everyone use the camera tripod better, the installation and folding methods of the camera tripod are introduced in detail. Let's have a look. First, how to build a tripod to be strong

Only by installing the tripod firmly can we bear the weight of the camera better, so what is the installation method of the tripod? Let me introduce it to you.

1, take out the tripod first, and then take out the tripod. There is a limit slot at the foot position to select the opening angle. Select the limit grooves of the same gear for the three brackets.

2. Then adjust the length and divide the tripod into several sections, so as to be stable when in use. It is better to lengthen each one one by one. In other words, each tripod chooses to open the same section.

3. Loosen the fixing screws and unfold the tripod. Then tighten the screw to fix it. Put the tripod flat, at least make sure it is stable and won't shake and fall.

4. The next step is to adjust the translation/tilt. Pan-tilt is mainly divided into three-dimensional pan-tilt and spherical pan-tilt, and three-dimensional pan-tilt is more commonly used in photography. The advantage of spherical pan-tilt is portability. Usually, the spherical pan-tilt has three adjustment knobs. One is to turn the knob horizontally.

5. The other two are ball fixing knobs, which can be rotated at any angle by loosening the ball. Then tighten and fix. If shooting horizontally, it is recommended to observe the level of the pan/tilt first, and then install the camera after adjusting the level of the pan/tilt. If you want to choose an angle shot, install the quick board first. Then keep the camera stable during the adjustment process. After adjusting the angle, tighten the fixing knob.

6. The next step is to take photos. In fact, there will be a slight shaking when the hand is placed on the tripod. Especially when using a telephoto lens, so one way is to add a cable to release it. Avoid hand shaking affecting shooting. Only in this way can we achieve the best results.

Second, how to fold the camera tripod?

Many people still don't understand the folding method of camera tripod, so how to put it away when it is used up? The folding mode of camera tripod varies according to the type of tripod. Tripods can be roughly divided into three types: knob locking structure, flat locking structure and eccentric tube locking structure. Tripods with different locking structures can be folded in different ways.

1, twist it, first loosen the knob of one leg tube of the tripod, be careful not to be too loose, and some knobs can be unlocked by turning 1/4 turn. Then compress each leg tube and tighten the knob, just like the other two leg tubes. Then raise the central axis, press the angle selector above the foot tube, and fold the foot tube in the direction of the tripod head. This folding method is reverse folding, but not every tripod can. This function is to shorten the storage length. If you can't fold it back, just fold it directly in the direction of the tripod tube. The other two foot tubes operate in the same way.

2. Plate buckle type: first open the plate buckle of one foot tube, then compress each foot tube backwards, and then close the plate buckle. The other two foot tubes operate in the same way. The folding method is the same as the knob type, as described above.

3. The unfolding and folding of the eccentric cylinder structure is simpler and faster. Just turn the foot tube counterclockwise to press it back. All three foot tubes are operated in this way and folded in the same way as others.
