Great upgrade from stock solutions
I got this Tripod to switch off of the EOS rebel T6's bundled plastic tripod that comes with any kinda "kit" version you can buy. (specifically, mine was provided alongside the camera by my college, BUT you can buy various kits with the T6 that includes the cheap and easily broken tripod.) This thing is a league ahead the stock tripod and super luxurious. I thought the orange looked nice in product pics and it -does not- disappoint. My only complaints is the lack of a locking feature so the legs don't just crumple in on themselves if bumped (and in the small space I take product images, it get's bumped a fair bit) it does lock, but only keeps itself from opening further, not closing inward.additionally, one of the side bubble levers doesn't work. it just sticks to the top of the alignment tube. Not a big deal since I don't have any reason to be shooting on perfectly level ground in my use case, something to be aware of if you want like, very fine and accurate leveling.The ball joint style pivot for the camera itself is really good. the twist knobs work great and don't require much force to keep it dialed in, and you can keep it a little loose and move the camera around, let go, and it still hold it's place while you move to lock it in further in case it gets bumped. I love this so much, the stock tripods come with a little fold-out flap you can only tilt forward for angled shots and the locking mechanism broke like day 5 so it had two technical positions, forward or straight down towards the floor.You can take angled shots, straight up or down or sideways, and it has a notch on the neck for tilting it straight down if you wanna use it for recording something on your table or taking macro pics while stabilized and it's wonderful. comes with a holder for your phone which is a nice touch and can be partially disassembled to switch the camera to the underside of the tripod for some seriously close-to-subject shots. the rubberized feet grips come off and have spikes for outdoor shoots. I think it's got excellent stability all things considered in either scenario. Was able to get some amazing pics with a step ladder for near top-down photography on large subjects so, can attest to the full height not affecting stability too much (not sure about outdoor photography in high wind, that's a ballgame I'm not pitching in.) Definitely can hold some higher weight than starter, cheaper plastic tripods.It's got so many premium feeling features and a nice metal, sturdy build to make it a serious photographers leap from stock to something nicer with the looks to match.-if you for some reason like the stock, cheaper ones, Victiv also has one in the same orange color and look and feel for a fair bit less $ wise and some similar features.Ver másVer menos
