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.

QUOTE(lai_dm @ Feb 2 2015, 10:33 AM) my current tripod is : 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. http://www.lelong.com.my/octopus-oc-tri505...5-09-Sale-P.htm 1st 3 months ok, later something loose at ball head area, i think was the camera mounting area not good 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. |

QUOTE(supersound @ Feb 5 2015, 11:33 AM) I still see my Buffalo perform better than this. Clip or screw depends on personal preference. Clip is better because you can tell when its locked. A bit hard to tell if using screws and if not screwed tightly will accidentally collapse the legs. However screws are a lot easier to expand the legs.And this is using clip type to expand/retract, not that good and also the head have to buy separately. No way. |

QUOTE(supersound @ Feb 5 2015, 12:52 PM) I started with clip type of tripod. And when it fold up, the surface area are slightly bigger. I personally own a screw tripod and i cant tell you how annoying it is when after collapsing all the legs (for fast picture capture), i keep forgetting to screw them tight, having the tripod almost flip over. Temporary solution is to mark them (like the dots on the lens and mount) on the screw for quick visual check before setting up. Buffalos clips are a joke though so dont go for that one if possible.But I agree with you that the risk behind on screw type. That's why I always press it when it is expanded just to verify the screws are tight enough. |
