Probably the most important lesson is to read online reviews of your target product(s): the good AND the bad. And then realize what your SPECIFIC needs are (including your budget).
One of the key benefits of units like the Element, is the removable leg. A carbon leg is incredibly light. And when you attach the included leg peg, it double as a hiking pole. Every product has its limits…and doing some simple homework will ensure there are no surprises ahead.
Thanks for this input! Tripods are a science on its own. And not a cheap one.
For traveling I used to have a Peak Design one, but recently upgraded to a more sturdy Rollei Lion Rock Traveller L during a sale. The legs can just be turned so far up that I can take pictures head-over easily. Of course it's bigger, but it's worth it in my opinion.
Now I can decide to either just hike with a small camera, or go on a dedicated photo trip with bigger equipment.
Thanks for the comment!
The Rollei Tripod looks like a very solid option!
I had same situation with crappy cheep tripod . I had it at Beginning with my First camera but when I upgrade camera and weigh was hard to manage I got myself Sirui regular tripod which I still using and loving it. Works well, no problem with legs extension still living it and holds steadying. Not extremely heavy so it goes with me in long mountain hikes 😉
Its sooo much more fun when you have a reliable tripod!
Wow, great content again, under different angle! I've bought my first tripod during winter and it is Leofoto LS-324C. Didn't tried it yet but waiting for my first try. It gonna be decent tripod 😊
It does look like a proper tripod indeed! Hope you enjoy using it and get some cool shots with it!
Tack!
Thank you sooo much for all your support!
Great video! Oddly, Slik tripods are not known, at least in Europe. Cheaper than Manfrotto, but same or better quality.
Thanks for the comment! I have to admit I never heard of Slik
I see you use the RC2 style plates. I used to use them because of the quick release mechanism but L-bracket use was problematical. What do you do for an L-bracket (or do you not use one)? I found the Manfrotto bracket cumbersome to use and really can't be left on the camera all the time.
Hey, thanks for the comment! I actually dont use an L-Bracket, so far I was able to handle all situations well with those manfrotto heads :-)
Nice video. I need one light back up tripod
Thanks a lot! I can recommened the K+F Concept one
Unfortunately the most viewers will still buy cheap noname tripods )))). The fact is: even a cheap tripod will help a lot, and the most amateur photographers are quite satisfied with that.
For the Manfrotto element traveller the leg sections come apart quite easily so that you can clean the lock components if they get dirty. You are giving Manfrotto a bad name for no reason and probably threw away a great light tripod.
I had a very bad experience with the traveller tripod from the very start, I think its fair to say it deserves some critisism. Besides that, I love my other, heavy manfrotto tripod for the time-lapse related work and I only use manfrotto tripod heads because they are so good, so I would not say I'm giving Manfrotto a bad name here. Just pointing out a product I personally dont like using :-)
I've had 2 manfrottos element which were all crap. Especially for astrophotography. My K&F has been with me for years, is cheaper lighter and more stable.
