TRIPOD STAND

 In this article, I will show you the best tripod stands. A tripod is a three-legged frame or stand, used as a platform for maintaining the stability of your mobile and camera. A tripod provides stability against downward and horizontal forces and movements about horizontal axes. The positioning of the three legs away from the vertical centre allows the tripod better leverage for resisting lateral forces.

PARTS OF TRIPOD STAND:

Tripod contain a lot of parts. In the diagram below, we have labelled the different parts of the tripod. All parts of the tripod are divided into different shapes, sizes, and materials. All the parts perform the same job, and the overall goal of the tripod is stability for your camera.


 


PROS OF TRIPOD STAND:

1. Stable your camera:

Tripod has three legs which are more stable than two legs. We if we take pictures then mostly our hands shake but if we use a tripod our picture result is good.


2. Slows down your workflow

 Having to set up a tripod stops you from being trigger happy and just shooting random, pointless scenes. A tripod forces you to slow down and think about the scene, light, and settings.

3. Best for double exposure, HDR and long exposure:

High quality and best tripod always ensure stability. Plus, you can always hang something heavy from the bottom to weigh it down even more. Enable mirror lockup and use a remote to further guarantee zero measurements.

4.  Best for shooting videos:

 You always need a tripod for video shooting, unless you’re going for a perfect look or shooting documentary or reality TV-style. But, for smooth panning and time-lapses, for example, you need a tripod stand.

CONS OF TRIPOD STAND:

1. Don't buy a tripod  if you can’t get a good one :

If you can’t afford a good, quality tripod, then don’t bother. Cheap tripods are likely to wobble. There’s no point in wasting your money; wait until you can afford a good one.

2. Waste your time:

If it takes too long to set up the tripod, you’re more likely to miss a good shot.

3. Tripod police. 

Tripods are strictly prohibited in some places, so having one on you will just create a hassle. Smuggling a tripod in is not easy and if you get caught, you’re just going to get kicked out or even fined. Even if it’s not prohibited, using a tripod in a crowded place is not always appropriate—it just makes you in the way more.

4. Could be an expensive accident

Sometimes you are in crowded places. There is a lot of chances of accidents. You might slip or somebody can push your tripod. This cause loss of your mobile, camera and your tripod stand. 


TOP BEST TRIPOD STAND:

1.  Benro go plus travel:

  • Main material: Carbon fibre or aluminium 
  •  Folded height (leg inversion): 49cm (yes) Weight: 2.05kg 
  • Max operating height: 179cm 
  • Max load (legs, head): 14kg, 14kg 
  • Sections per leg: 4 sections 
  • Locking leg angles: 3 angles














Benro B1 Double Action Ballhead


 The swing-up legs enable a carrying length of just 49cm, yet the maximum operating height is a lofty 179cm, partly thanks to each leg containing four sections. One leg can easily be unscrewed and used as a monopod, in conjunction with the removable centre column. Like the Vanguard tripod in this roundup, the pivoting centre column can be rotated vertically through a full 180-degree arc, with multiple locking angles along the way. The pivot system is elegant and every feature of the overall design is immaculately implemented. It's available in carbon fibre, or as a cheaper aluminium version.


2. Three Legged Thing PUNKS Travis Tripod:


This rugged, general-use tripod is good for all weathers. It is solid and dependable. It packed down well.

  • Main material: Magnesium alloy 
  • Folded height (leg inversion): 45cm (yes) Weight: 1.6kg 
  • Max operating height: 165cm 
  • Max load: 18kg 
  • Sections per leg: 4 sections 
  •  Locking leg angles: 3


3 Legged Thing PUNKS TRAVIS MAGNESIUM ALLOY TRIPOD SYSTEM WITH AIRHEAD NEO


It is the best thing from the folks at three-legged things. It can handle payloads up to a whopping 18 kg. This can also support the heaviest of pro setup.

03. Manfrotto 055CXPRO:


This Manfrotto is the best sturdy, tall tripod.

  • Main material: Carbon fibre 
  •  Folded height (leg inversion): 72cm (no)
  •  Weight: 2.54kg  
  • Max operating height: 182cm 
  • Max load (legs, head): 9kg, 10kg 
  • Sections per leg: 3 sections 
  • Locking leg angles: 4


Manfrotto XPRO ball head with 200PL Plate

It is quick and easy to set up, as the legs don’t swing up for stowage, and the 90-degree pivot facility for the centre column is also brilliantly simple to use. Unusually, these days, the leg section locks have a flip action rather than a twist mechanism, but they’re very effective. The XPRO Ball head is among the very best that we’ve ever come across. 


4. MeFOTO GlobeTrotter:





A small but strong, and reasonably tall tripod. It has a small case to carry it. It has only two alternative leg angles.

  • Main material: Aluminium 
  • Folded height (leg inversion): 41cm (yes) Weight: 2.10kg 
  • Max operating height: 165cm 
  • Max load (legs, head): 12kg, 12kg 
  • Sections per leg: 5 sections 
  •  Locking leg angles: 2


MeFoto GlobeTrotter aluminium A2350Q2

Interchangeable rubber pads and metal spikes are supplied with the kit, along with a smart padded bag. All that’s lacking is a pivot facility for the centre column, and there are only two lockable leg angles instead of the more usual three. A pricier carbon fibre edition of the kit is also available, which reduces the overall weight by 400g.


Conclusion:

The primary purposes of the tripod head are to provide a way to attach your camera to the tripod, allow repositioning of the camera to frame the image you wish to capture, and then hold the camera steady while the photograph is taken.
