Tripods - recommendations?

[jiro]

---

Hi, i tried to search sa istorya and couldnt fine one. sa internet pud kay libug.
It's too expensive and sometimes the model cant be found here locally.

i found a good link here
How to Choose and Buy a Tripod for a DSLR Camera
His suggested tripods for budget users where:
1. Sunpak Ultra 757TM Tripod/Monopod with 3-Way Head 620-757TM B&H
2. Slik Pro 340DX Tripod (Black) with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head 613-338
3. Slik Pro 700DX Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head - 615-315 B&H

any idea where to find these items here? i just want to see it myself and compare it to other brands like benro


naa moy suggestions for
a.) less than 2k for budget users
b.) 5k budgets

how do you select one? what are the qualities of a good tripod?
unsay Pan-Tilt Head or Ball-Head, do i need both? or just one?

im a newbie sa dslr, i just wanted a good tripod. I want to hear your suggestions or frustrations in your experiences. how do i choose? my budget is around 5k. Completo na set, mount na lang dslr.

pa share sa inyo wisdom master!

First, kana imo tripod guide by Mansurov is a very good reference article na

I am not familiar with other tripods... but when I started I bought a Benro A-500ex + BH-1 ballhead for P4,000. and para nako worth it kaayo siya... bang for the buck.

as for how to choose...
1. Determine the Weight and Longest Focal length sa set up na imo ibutang sa tripod
2. Determine your height
3. Determine kung unsa use nimo sa tripod, for travel ba or shooting from a car or unsa..
4. Determine what you think is a good folded length of the tripod..
5. remember everything is a compromise... so just choose the best compromise for your budget.

as for Panhead or Ballhead... most photographers like the convenience of a Ballhead... isa ra ang imohang knob na iadjust...

here's a photo of my Benro A-500ex Aluminum tripod

and the ballhead



after 2 years of using my Benro... I decided its time to upgrade my tripod... kay ako heaviest setup karon is already 5kg, and my Benro is rated at 8kg only... as a rule they recommend na at least half lang sa rated max load ang imong setup. and also ganahan ko maka long exposure up to 400mm so kinahanglan jud kog mas stable na tripod

so I decided to buy once and cry once with this one... hehe and I'm glad I did... its very solid


and if you considering Slik, If you can stretch a bit more you can already get the Manfrotto 055xprob, its highly recommended everywhere... its quite heavy pero stable kaayo
Manfrotto 055XPROB Aluminum Tripod Legs (Black) 055XPROB B&H

and you need a ballhead to go along with it, naa mga Giottos / Benro for P2,000-P3,000 to add on top of that

please just choose your tripod wisely... don't go cheap kaayo specially if tanaw nimo nga mupursue gyud ka ug photography

Feisol ang best bang for the buck sa tanan nako na nagamit. Pareha sa gitzo ug quality but mas barato. If makaya ra gitzo sa budget ok sa pud.

wala kaayo ko kabantay ug Giottos na tripod, kasagaran Ballhead ra ako mabantayan ug lain item like blower, wipes etc...

pero so far Giottos nga brand is ok man...so I guess pili.a lang ug tarong

[jiro]

unsa model ma recommend ninyo sa
Feisol ?
Benro?
Giottos?
Manfrotto?

daghan man kaayu model per brand, unsaon pa choose nga nindot?

need tripod pang travel, i saw this benro - ganahan ko - what do you think?

https://www.istorya.net/forums/photog...d-and-bag.html

sa giottos pud - kita ko ani models - MTL9 / MTL2 / MT / MGL / MG
unsa man na? unsa may nindot ana? unsay difference?
naa may giottos within the budget na with tilthead.
Giottos Tripod MTL 9240B-5011 - 5-6k petot
Giottos Tripod MTL 925B1-5011 - 5-6k petot
or should i go for ballhead?

manfrotto kay at least 7k man... hilak ko ani.

sa benro pud kay daghan man good looking tripods, dili lang ko kabalo what to look for.

or palit na lang gaha ko minitripods then save up na lang ko for tripod gyud?


decisions, help me make my first decision right...

[wise_zech]

try this one bro nindot gajud ni dili jud ka magmahay..Manfrotto Tripod 190XPROB + HD804RC2

[monk3y]

Jiro... Benro Travel Angel and kana flat tripod are good for travel pero murag over na sa imong 7k na budget.... kani girecommend ni wise_zech na 190xprob is smaller sa ako g.ingon nga 055xprob. icheck unya...nice sad na pero if i.add nimo ang ballhead murag duol naka sa 9-10k sad

for prices on Benro tripods check this site... regular buyer ko sa ilahang mga accessories
