16 MAGICAL USES OF TRIPODS (PART 2)

  •  Let me share with you the last eight magical uses of the Portable Tripod Selfie Stick!

      09. Shooting brilliant starry sky/star trails

      To capture a bright starry sky or star trails, we need to make 30 seconds or even hours of exposure, so the camera must be mounted on a tripod to get a clear and complete image!

      10. Photograph the tracks

      It often takes tens of seconds or even minutes to shoot the track, and tools such as black cards are also used. Without a tripod, it will bring great difficulties to shooting!

      11. Light Painting

      Light graffiti photography is the same as car tracks. The camera must be stable and the shutter is open to shoot successfully. Therefore, a tripod is one of the necessary tools for shooting light and shadow graffiti.

      12. Take Night Portraits

      It is not necessary to use a tripod for night portraits, but with a tripod, we can use a slower shutter speed and lower ISO to improve the brightness and quality of the background.

      13. Shoot Time-lapse Movies

      To shoot a time-lapse movie, a tripod is necessary, because we have to fix the camera and shoot continuously, and then use software or the camera to combine these series of photos into a time-lapse movie.

      14. Bird Shooting

      Shooting birds with high-speed cameras and telephoto lenses has higher requirements on the tripod. To capture the feathers of birds very clearly, the tripod is required to be rock-solid! There can be no slight shaking, otherwise the long wait will be in vain.

      15. Reduce body/lens weight

      For example, when using 70-200mm small black and white or 800mm Big Mac lens, mounting the camera lens on a tripod can provide a stable platform for shooting, and it can also reduce a lot of weight, making shooting easier.

      16. As a light stand, stand

      The tripod is not necessarily only used to mount the camera, you can put an external flash on it, coupled with the wireless remote controller, you can take more professional and more dramatic light photos; you can also put the camera, microphone rack up. At last year's World Photographic Equipment Exhibition in Cologne, Germany, "Superman" exhibited monopods with a height of 2 meters, 3 meters and 5 meters that can be quickly connected to a tripod, which won a lot of attention and praise.
