The bracket is a kind of equipment that every photographer needs to touch, next I will give you a brief introduction to the types of brackets and tips for buying.
? Tripod:
Often tripods are used as auxiliary devices, which can make it easier for us to shoot different effects from handheld cameras, such as silky smooth running water and rotating star lights in the sky. Tripod is divided into many kinds of materials, common iron, aluminum, carbon fiber material. Fixing method is also divided into Break type and Knob type. The advantage of buckle is fast opening, but durability and stability are relatively poor. Knob type has the advantage of durability and stability than the former good, the disadvantage of open slower, recommended to use the knob type because stability, because stable, hard, hard, hard, hard. strong>stability is the first element of the stand.
l?Iron bracket, the advantage is cost-effective, and because of its own material density than the other two, so the use of more less prone to vibration. But its disadvantages are also obvious, relatively larger weight, and improperly preserved, the iron tripod is also prone to rust.
l?Aluminum bracket, the advantage is that compared to iron bracket has lighter weight and stronger resistance. Suitable for outdoor shooting and long-distance trekking and other use scenarios.
l?Carbon fiber bracket, which is the best choice among the three materials, it has lighter quality, stronger toughness, more stable material structure, and a certain degree of impact resistance and shock absorption . The only downside is that the price/performance ratio is too low.
2.? Head
As part of the stand, a good choice of head is actually crucial. Composition of the head generally consists of Quick Release Plate and Leveling Gauge, there are three common types of heads. They are spherical head, three-dimensional head and hydraulic head. Among them, spherical head and three-dimensional head are generally used for photo shooting, hydraulic head because of higher stability, so it is generally used for video shootinglarge shots.
Three-dimensional heads are more complicated and time-consuming to operate and larger than spherical heads, but have better stability than spherical heads. , suitable for still life shooting, traffic and other photography scenes not in a hurry. The ball head is the worst load-bearing head of the three, but is generally smaller and more portable, and adjustable very quickly. Because of its structure, its stability and precision are less than the previous two, and it's ideal for shooting wildlife or sports that require quick adjustments.
3. Stand:
The market is flooded with a large number of tripod brands at all price points, and common brands are Shirui, Ma Xiaolu, Benro, and so on, which are all excellent tripod brands. There are suitable products at all price points. You can buy according to their own psychological price, here I take Si Rui as an example to recommend.
l?Aluminum alloy bracket
This material I recommend Shirui's A1005 tripod + Y10 head set, which has a comparatively small folding volume and a stable head structure, the weight of the head included is 1.41 The weight of the head is 1.41kg, and the safe load capacity is 10kg, which can meet the needs of a large part of the use.
l?Carbon Fiber Bracket
I recommend Sirui's AM284+A10r gimbal kit, which can have a 15kg load capacity at 1.5kg.
