hi all


i existing using Octopus tripod , camera shake when long shutter


please recommend me a good/stable/affordable tripod for my dslr (Nikon D750/ Tamron 24-70)

Budget RM400- 800
prefer brand : manfrotto or any other good brand

thanks

You didn't mention anything about a light tripod? If so, then you have tons of options to choose from: Manfrotto, Sirui, Fotopro, Jusino

If you intend to take the tripod onto the beach... make sure you can strip the legs apart and clean it of all the fine sand..

i use Nikon D750 + tamron 24-70
any steady tripod ?

Maybe just go to YLcamera store and see the tripods yourself. Sirui is quite good for your price range. Manfrotto does not have much for less than RM1K.

One tip. Your d750 combined with lens are big. So get a big and sturdy one. Dont get one that looks like for compact camera. Also check the tripod weight limit.

Got a Buffalo brand from Lowyat Plaza for rm380, made from carbon, lighter and rated for 8KG load.

got website link for reference ?
thanks

I think your current tripod is the really lousy type, freebie quality (those rm50 types?).

For the tripod legs, just need something thicker and sturdy, but most importantly for your case is getting a good ballhead that's rated for the weight of the equipment.

Even a RM200 tripod will suffice. Usually you pay more for lighter weight, higher quality materials and better features..

Refer to below.

Yup, this the one. But looks like it is much more expensive now

You saw it at Lowyat Plaza? When was that?

I was eyeing it before as it was like the CHEAPEST carbon fibre tripod I've ever seen and the weight is just so light at 1.1kg? Plus, the height of 160cm is pretty good considering the weight!

But I might still get this though...Beike Q999s tripod because of the cheap price.

I currently have a Beike 471 tripod [150cm,2kg] and it's really STABLE and solid but the weight is just too much of a burden...

Anyway guy do you know how much benro tripod?

First of all, check what is causing the vibration. Is it the head or the tripod? If the tripod does not shake but the head does, then just replace the head. Or you can try weigh down the tripod by hooking/tying up your bags underneath it. It should have a hook underneath since it claim to support 14kg, though probably false advert.

If all fails, then replace the whole tripod but bear in mind, cheap, small or travel tripods probably won't do any better if your camera has one powerful mirror slap. Don't look at overall height based on column length but rather the legs height. Try looking for tripods with hook underneath that can add to better stabilization if needed.

Close to 2 years already, bought at mid 2013. Nothing to complaint much, it is doing the work it should be.
The shop is at 1st floor(center is the shop selling phones, same floor with the book store).
I bought this as it can be a monopod.

Last or not, depend to how we use it.

confirmed caused by ball head mouting area, because when camera mirror up, it created shake
the mounting is not hold my camera tight even i tighten to max. the tripod is loose

hi Supersound
the tripod u mentioned used for 2 yrs is Beike or buffalo ?
i going to buy soon

Buffalo. I only have 1.
