Camera Tripod Stand
Description
A tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other photographic equipment. All photographic tripods have three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera. The mounting head usually includes a thumbscrew that mates to a female threaded receptacle on the camera, as well as a mechanism to be able to rotate and tilt the camera when it is mounted on the tripod. Tripod legs are usually made to telescope, in order to save space when not in use. Tripods are usually made from aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, wood or plastic.
Gravity Hook
The rapid center column allows quick and easy Gravity Hook, located at the bottom of the center-column, allows you to hang additional weight from the tripod's centre of gravity for increased stability. Separate head and pan lock, individual head tension and lock knob as well as pan lock help make the right adjustment.
Rapid Adjustment Center Column
The rapid center column allows quick and easy camera height adjustment. 3-section leg with quick release flip-locks, allows you to place the tripod for an appropriate height in seconds. With height adjustment buckle, height varies from 50 centimeters to 141 centimeters with an extended center column to meet your different shooting needs.
Tripods are used for both still and motion photography to prevent camera movement. They are necessary when slow-speed exposures are being made, or when lenses of extreme focal length are used, as any camera movement while the shutter is open will produce a blurred image. In the same vein, they reduce camera shake, and thus are instrumental in achieving maximum sharpness. A tripod is also helpful in achieving precise framing of the image, or when more than one image is being made of the same scene, for example when bracketing the exposure. Use of a tripod may also allow for a more thoughtful approach to photography. For all of these reasons, a tripod of some sort is often necessary for professional photography as well as certain video uses. Tripods are also used as an alternative to C-Stands to photographic accessories.
