Tips on how to choose the best tripod

With the development of the times, tripods are not only the work tools of professional photographers, but also more and more common in our daily life. Once you start using a tripod, you will find that you have more clear pictures and the freedom to free your hands. So for those of us who are new to tripods, how to choose a tripod that suits you has become the first issue we face. Today I will introduce to you if you choose a tripod that suits you!

 

First question, what is your equipment?

 

1.Phone

 

Now that the mobile phone's camera functions are getting more and more powerful, and the convenient features determine that you can take photos anytime, anywhere, so many people now choose to use mobile phones to take pictures.

If you choose a mobile phone as your shooting tool, then you may need a tripod that is mainly lightweight and portable.

On the one hand, the weight of the mobile phone is limited, and it does not require an overly heavy tripod to ensure the safe use of mobile phone photography;

On the other hand, if you choose a heavier tripod, it will cause some inconvenience in carrying, and it will be contrary to your original intention of taking pictures with your mobile phone;

The most important aspect! !! !! When choosing a mobile phone tripod, you must pay attention to whether a mobile phone adapter is included, otherwise you may need to buy it again!

The following recommends some tripods suitable for mobile phones!

 2.Camera

 

When your device is a camera, you need to consider more issues. Such as the weight of your camera, whether you need a monopod function, whether you need a removable ball head and so on.

Based on various considerations, I will recommend several excellent camera tripods for you.

NO.1

The VICTIV T72 72inch tripod also has a monopod function.

If you have multiple cameras, this will be very convenient. The included tripod bag will make it easier for you to carry!

The tripod can be set to a minimum height of 7.8 "to a maximum height of 78". The leg tube is 26mm, the ball head diameter is 38MM, so the carrying capacity is stronger.
