tripod is my GOOD friend … I always say this and for my last trip, most of my friend look at me and ask why you bring your tripod any where … my answer is “I do not want to miss anything”
a good tripod for me should serve me few objective
1. sturdy
2. lowest possible angle
3. highest possible angle
4. the leg connection design, I had few experience with other brand tripod all failed on the leg which sand went into the connection cause the failure
5. size
6. weight
7. cost
we invest thousands of dollar on our equipment and I don’t think it is good idea to put it on a tripod that risk your equipment …..
I need my tripod to be stable because I do not want it to fall
I need my tripod have lower angle, because I know I need it
I need my tripod to have light weight because I bring it any where
I need my tripod to be durable to sand attack as most of us go beaches know it kill our tripod
I wish the price is cheaper, everyone wish too
I wish it can be multi tasking … yes mine can use as monopod
….
some sample places I use for my tripod and it never failed me like previous tripods (which cost me RM300-2000)… it still serve me GREAT after 1.5 year heavy utilise (only clean once) …
Fotopro PGC-78c – Bigger for wildlife, bird .. taller
Fotopro M-5mini PRO – easy to carry …
FLM Fiction Ball head – stability, fiction control … firm angle without fall down after lock ball head
and I trust my TRIPOD … view the movie how I trust him 😀 click HERE see HOW I trust him …
e.g.
i. all the leg still work great
2. for the same size price is good
3. it can go as low as
I am using both
&
do let me know if you interest to have a try or look … or contact me for the price of fotopro tripods brought by leephoto
