How to use a tripod? Skills of using camera tripod.

Camera tripod is a very important equipment. If you want to take good photos, you must adjust the tripod first. But not everyone knows how to use the camera tripod. Let Bian Xiao show you how to use a tripod. I hope it will help you who like photography.

Use of camera tripod

If you are a beginner in photography, it is recommended to use a portable tripod with a rocker in the middle shaft. This design can easily lift the tripod. Portable tripods generally have rocker lifting function, which can be easily operated at any time without any skill when adjusting the working height, and it is easier to control and master, which is very suitable for beginners.

First of all, how to use a tripod?

1, tripod positioning method

Use the lifting function of the tripod to take out the tripod before taking pictures, and then rotate the rocker to the working height. Take off the quick assembly plate on the tripod head and lock the screws on the quick assembly plate at the bottom of the camera. Then, install a quick-loading plate on the pan/tilt and adjust it according to the height of the lens. At this time, you can use the rocker to fine-tune the height. When expanding each leg tube, make sure to pull each leg tube to the limit and expand all three leg tubes. Because when operating the camera, if the foot tube is not pulled in place, the plate buckle is fixed and the joint of the foot tube is easy to loosen. Adjust one leg of the tripod directly below the lens, and point the other two legs in the direction of the photographer when shooting to avoid collision with the tripod when taking pictures.

2. Check the fixed seat

This matter is very important. Check whether the camera is locked and fixed before taking pictures, including whether the tripod head and the quick-loading plate are locked. Many photographers accidentally touched the camera and didn't lock it properly, which was really disappointing. So be sure to check one side carefully before shooting.

Step 3 find the horizontal line

There is a level beside the Yuntai. After installing the camera, see if there are any small bubbles in the level to reach the center line of the level. You can adjust the tripod if necessary. Remember to fine-tune and fix it, as long as it stays near the center of the horizontal line, there will be no problem.

Second, the role of using a tripod

The tripod can ensure that the camcorder is stably locked in one position, so it is convenient to choose the angle. It can keep the same angle for a long time to shoot or wait for the shutter, greatly reducing the camera shake range and taking more vivid photos.

Third, the use of camera tripod skills

Choosing a tripod should match the size, height, occasion, access, weight and budget of the camera used, and choose a suitable tripod according to these.

1, sports meeting

At this time, it is necessary to choose a solid tripod and fix the camera firmly, so that the picture is very mobile and can be fully competent when shooting according to the changeable terrain.

2. Festive banquets and meetings

It is easy to block the lens in crowded places, so a longer tripod is needed to improve the height.

Step 3 travel

When family and friends take photos during the trip, it is much easier to shoot with a tripod, and you can also set up an automatic shooting function. However, it is also very tiring to carry a tripod for a long time, so you can choose a tripod that is light and easy to carry when traveling abroad. At this time, you should consider buying a lightweight tripod made of carbon fiber.

4. Family reunion

In a small room, it is also difficult to find a place to lay a tripod, so I choose a small tripod on the table. Even if the space is small, it can be placed on the desktop, TV roof and furniture, which is very mobile.

How to use the tripod and the skills of using the camera tripod are all simple tips for life. I hope they can help you who love photography. More quality of life content will be continuously updated in the future, so stay tuned!
