How to use a tripod

How to use a tripod:

1. Don't touch the tripod and camera with any part of your body. This is the most basic use of tripod. After stabilizing the tripod, adjusting the camera and fastening all components, you can use the cable release to start the shutter. If there is no cable release, you can also try to shorten the time to touch the camera when pressing the shutter.

2. When the wind is strong or the tripod is slightly lighter, you can hold the lower part of the tripod head with your left hand and press it down slightly to increase the shooting stability, but at this time, it is not appropriate to use the shutter opening time below 1/4 seconds.

3. When shooting a moving target, in order to give consideration to stability and flexibility, you can loosen the fastening handle of the tripod head and support the camera with both hands to shoot, and you can get good results without using cable release.

The pocket tripod is very portable. Although it is not as good as a large tripod to support the camera, it is used to support relatively stable objects such as the body and walls to offset possible shaking.

5. Because most digital cameras have a rotatable night screen, they can take photos from different angles, but after pulling out the legs of the tripod and combining the camera's self-timer function or the remote control to start the shutter function, they can take photos from many previously unimaginable angles.
