A film friend asked: is not a foot frame, flat and steady on the line, what skills to speak of? If you think so, you're wrong. Photography tripod is an important tool to stabilize the camera, if not reasonable use of it can not play a full role, and at present most of the tripod instruction manual, only introduced the tripod component name and operating points, but did not see the use of skills, today teach you the use of photography tripod skills.

1 Do not touch the tripod and camera with any part of your body. This is the most basic way to use a tripod. After stabilizing the tripod, adjusting the camera, and securing the various components, you can start the shutter with the shutter cord. If there is no shutter cord, you can also try to shorten the time of touching the camera when pressing the shutter.

2 When the wind is strong or the weight of the tripod is slightly light, you can hold the lower part of the head of the tripod with your left hand and press down slightly to increase the shooting stability. However, the shutter opening time of less than 1/4 second should not be used at this time. You can also increase stability by hanging heavy objects such as a camera bag from a tripod.

3. In order to give consideration to stability and flexibility when shooting moving objects, you can loosen the gimbal handle of the tripod and use both hands to support the camera to shoot. Good results can be achieved without using the shutter line.

4 Pocket tripod is very portable. Although it is not as good as a large tripod for supporting cameras, it can be used to support relatively stable objects such as the body and walls to offset possible shaking.

5. After pulling out the leg of the tripod, combined with the selfie function of the camera or the remote control of the shutter function, while using the LCD screen of the body can rotate the view, you can shoot from many unimaginable angles. Note that at this point the tripod is no longer stabilizing the camera and only functions as a special stand.

The Law of tripod use

Tripod weight is directly proportional to stability, should try to choose a larger, heavier tripod.

The thickness of a tripod's leg tube is proportional to its stability. The upper leg tube of the same tripod near the head is thicker, while the lower leg tube pulled out is thinner. Therefore, the upper leg should be used when it is not necessary to pull out all the legs during filming.

In photography, the height of a tripod's center of gravity is inversely proportional to its stability. The lower the height of the tripod in use, the better the stability. Priority must be given to the position and Angle of the camera, and height must be reduced as much as possible, especially the central axis of the tripod.

Try to choose a hard ground support tripod. A tripod propped up in fallen leaves, soft sand, or wetlands is prone to wobble.
