Many novice photographers don't know how to use the camera tripod, which is prone to wrong operation. How to use the camera tripod? Here are some tips for using the camera tripod. Let's have a look.
1. Make up the picture before putting the foot rest
Setting up the scaffold sometimes takes more time than composition, so first check the surrounding environment, and then choose "foothold" after careful composition.
2. Take a picture with one of the legs facing the object
This point is easy to ignore by many new friends. A leg pointing to the shooting object means that you can have enough space to stand on the back of the fuselage, which is not only convenient for view taking and operation, not easy to trip, but also to prevent the accident of forward tipping.
3. Keep the central axis vertical to the ground
Stability is the primary task of tripod. The easiest way to make sure the camera weight is evenly distributed on the tripod legs is to keep the center axis perpendicular to the ground. Of course, many of the legs have been equipped with a level, which is very practical.
4. Try to avoid extending the center shaft
Extending the middle axis can extend the height of the foot stand, but unless it is necessary, it is better to keep the middle axis in a state of contraction, which will reduce the stability.
5. Use L-bracket
Maybe a lot of people haven't heard of the L-bracket. The figure below shows the difference between the L-bracket and the ordinary racket. Obviously, the L-bracket can keep the camera's center of gravity consistent with the tripod.
6. Using the lens stand ring
Due to the large weight of the telephoto lens, the center of gravity of the whole set of equipment will move forward after being installed on the fuselage. Some telephoto lenses are equipped with a tripod ring, which is installed close to the center of gravity of the equipment. Using it can not only enhance the overall stability of the camera and tripod, but also facilitate the conversion between the horizontal and vertical shots.
7. Heavy hook
