How does the tripod fold up?

The way to fold the tripod is to open all the buttons of one leg tube, then compress each leg tube backwards, and then close the buttons.

This operation applies to tripods with plate buckles. You just need to find the plate buckle, follow the order of the plate buckle, and you can fold it successfully.

If the tripod is twisted, loosen the knob of one leg tube of the tripod, and be careful not to loosen it too loosely. Some of them can be unlocked by turning the knob 1/4 turns. Then compress each leg tube and tighten the knob, just like the other two leg tubes. Then raise the central axis, press the angle selector above the foot tube, and fold the foot tube in the direction of the tripod head. This folding method is reverse folding, but not every tripod can. This function is to shorten the storage length.

If it can't be folded back, it will be folded directly in the direction of closing the three foot tubes, and the other two foot tubes will be operated as well.

Selection method of tripod

Budget: Tripods with different prices have different materials and functions, and their practicability and stability vary greatly. The price gap between professional photography tripod and ordinary civil tripod is also very large. So just like buying a camera, the budget is very important, and choosing the right product according to the price range you can afford is the first.

Tripod usage scenarios: Tripod usage scenarios are also very different. For example, some landscape photographers will carry tripods with them to find the scenery they are shooting, while some studios use tripods in a fixed position, mainly for commercial or still life shooting.

The tripod should be matched with the equipment: the choice of tripod should also be considered according to the commonly used photographic equipment. If you use micro-cameras, portable cameras or mobile phones in your daily life, then choose a small portable tripod.
