Tripod Material Identification
Tripod's material is the most critical factor when choosing a tripod, because the material is good or bad, directly affects the weight of the tripod. Generally divided into magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, carbon fiber tripod material, volcano and so on.
The first time to purchase, first you can pick up the tripod and see the weight difference, generally carbon fiber is very light, aluminum alloy is moderate. In general, aluminum alloy material camera tripod in the market have a large share, medium weight, prices in general, suitable for mass people, technology is mature, such as Sinno, BENRO, Weifeng, BEIKE etc in this regard are doing well, carbon fiber camera tripod is mainly for the high-end market, the price is expensive and lighter quality. Carbon fiber will be lighter than aluminum alloy of 20%-30%, such as the gt-3230x8c camera tripod. Carbon fiber materials, shrinkage height is only 30cm, equivalent to a bottle of mineral water height, very convenient to carry. Vesuvianite material price is more expensive and few people used. For the first time to buy camera tripod, not to buy those expensive and should started from aluminum alloy camera tripod. If the operation is inconvenientand and does not cause the waste. To buy other materials of the tripod after familiar with it.
The number of diameter and sections of the camera tripod to understand
Tripod classified by feet pipe diameter can be divided into 32 mm, 28 mm, 25 mm and 22 mm, etc., In general, the great feet tube, the greater load bearing of tripod, the stronger the stability. Section number: general tripod is divided into three sections, 4 sections and 5 sections; The common idea is, the more section numbers, the worse the stability; The feet wall thickness: feet wall thickness usually is 1.5 mm, 1.2 mm and 1.0 mm. In the case of same material , the thicker the wall, the stronger the stability;
The camera tripod weight-bearing understanding
Now tripod in the market, the average load weight is 4 kg, 5 kg, 8 kg, 10 kg, 13 kg, 15 kg. Such as a label bearing capacity is 4 kg of the tripod, it often refers to the maximum weight is 4 kg. If the camera is adapt to the tripod, your camera and accessories should not more than 2.8 KG. That is the camera, tripod weight ratio should be at 7:10, otherwise the photo quality is affected directly.
Understanding of the PTZ operation
High-grade camera tripod has no platform, so we must buy one. When buying the platform, you should attention to its locking ability. Some poor quality can not locked. Damping are obvious, adjust the camera feel slippery, camera tripod ball head is the ideal platform, the need to pay particular attention to lock the camera head can be relatively easy, up and down around the rotation rate, the damping operation is smoothly.
Understanding of the toe of tripod
Also consider the structure of the tripod toes, now there is a dual-purpose silicone mat and metal toe launched. Silicone mat
can prevent sliding on smooth surfaces, metal spikes can be inserted into gravel, soft surface to prevent slipping.
Understanding of after-sales service
Tripod sales are now doing well, manufacturers also give consumers a different warranty time, 3 years, 6 years, 10 years. The
choice to select those large company production, warranty long time. In order to avoid the future use of unnecessary trouble.
