What should I pay attention to when buying a tripod?

The main function of tripod is stability.

So choose the one with good stability and durable quality. Of course, famous brands are of good quality and high price.

The choice is based on the weight of the camera to determine the model. Tripod has the largest bearing capacity. If 15 kg is not selected for the camera, it will not support and be unstable.

There are also uses. The tripod has a height, and the maximum height is selected according to the requirements of frequent shooting. Then there is Yuntai, which is very important. The screw mouth of quick release plate rotates evenly up and down, left and right, and the damping is even. In fact, the shelf is mainly Yuntai.

In short, choose the shelf that suits you according to your camera, work purpose and consumption ability.

When choosing a tripod, the following points should be considered:

(1) A tripod with three legs is often more stable than a tripod with four legs;

(2) The tripod made of tubular metal will be more stable than that made of U-groove metal. Of course, with the progress of science and technology, carbon fiber and other high-hardness materials have also been applied to tripod counterweight;

(3) When shooting outdoors, there is a pointed tripod at the end of the side foot, which has a good grip on the soft ground; However, the tip must be detachable for indoor or hard use;

(4) It is best to have a button on each side foot to control the angle of the side foot, which is very useful in the case of uneven ground;

(5) The side foot lock can prevent the side foot from loosening. The easiest to use is the lock, which can be tightened and clamped. Tightening with twist lock is also relatively stable;

From the brand point of view, there are high-end products such as Gitzo, mantua and Admiralty in the photographic equipment market. Domestic products are Weifeng, Bainuo and so on.
