How to use a tripod

The use of tripod is as follows: a tripod should always follow the camera, the cannon should "circle", the leg extension principle of tripod is "from coarse to fine", and it is not necessary to end the tripod as far as possible.

1, the tripod should always follow the camera.

Generally speaking, as long as you use a little more tripods, one tripod is facing the camera and the other two tripods are flat on both sides of your legs. This makes adjustment easy. Tripods are on both sides of your legs. Adjust the camera work when shooting, your feet will have room to move, and you won't kick the tripod, which will lead to "tragedy" such as kicking over the camera.

2. The cannon should be on the "ring"

This can effectively alleviate the forward force and improve the stability of the tripod. It should be noted that the purchase of "tripod ring" should match the lens model you have, otherwise it is either big or small and does not match your eyes.

3. The leg extension principle of tripod is "from coarse to fine", and use the end tripod as much as possible.

If the legs are stretched too long, slender steel pipes at both ends will be used, which is a great threat to stability. In some cases, when all the feet must be pulled out, you should be extra careful when using the tripod and pay attention to the uniform stress.
