How to choose a camera tripod

1, brand:

The number one camera tripod brand in the mainstream market is undoubtedly Gitzo. While enjoying high quality, we should also accept his high price. In some niche markets, such as large format field, wooden camera tripod is more popular, and the substitute brands are BERLEBACH Barry Baker in Germany, WOLF Wolf brand in Germany and RIES in the United States. If it is a heavy metal camera tripod, Manfutu has more varieties and better quality than Gitzo. American RRS is also a top camera tripod, and its price is higher than Gitzo's. Friends who are not poor in money can pay attention to it.

Except for the complaint brand, other brands are basically in the second level, mainly including a large number of China brands and several Japanese brands. Need to remind beginners that the so-called "Nikon brand camera tripod", "Sony brand camera tripod" and "Lulai brand camera tripod" are basically made by low-end factories in China.

2, material:

Camera tripod is made of carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, volcanic stone, stainless steel, wood, plastic and other materials. Mainly choose carbon fiber and aluminum alloy. These two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the main difference is that the specific gravity of carbon fiber is light; However, due to the complex differences in materials, it is impossible to simply evaluate which is more stable and durable, carbon fiber or aluminum alloy. In the brand, the same material is called "carbon fiber", and its internal composition and material characteristics are also very different.

3. Indicators and parameters:

Among the indicators of camera tripod, only the diameter, height, length and self-weight are "objective indicators", while the "maximum load" is "subjective", because there is no unified, objective and universal testing process and standard for the maximum load of camera tripod in the industry. Simply put, brand A is nominally 8KG and brand B is nominally 65438+, because their testing standards are completely different. Therefore, when buying a camera tripod, it is best to pay more attention to objective indicators and ignore those subjective indicators.
