    Perfect! I didn’t know that there were tripods with ball rotation devices.
    I’m using a rather old one of my grandfathers, and while it’s still pretty
    modern, I’m never really sure what I’m all missing.

    I enjoyed watching and listening to you! Thank you.Currently I only have a
    point and shoot and a “bridge” camera (Nikon p510) however, I am currently
    looking to upgrade my camera. In the meantime both of my Nikons take great
    photos and I have been using the a Dolica tripod with no problem. I will
    remember your advice though when I become more advanced in my photo taking
    skills!

    replacement anywhere, so i decided to buy a new tripod 🙁

    Surly the first thing to consider is how much you have to spend before you
    look at any tripods

  8. rp says:

    hey can u suggest me where i can go look for heavier tripods for my film
    making? thanks

  9. Srinath Muralidharan says:

    Also to add… if you are shooting macro.. you would consider the ability
    to flat on ground and also the tilting ability of the center column.. just
    adding 🙂 Anyways nice video. Very informative

    Hey Brent how much is the tripod you favor ? Do all the pieces come
    together or do I have to buy separately ? Love your videos! Very Iinspiring

  11. Luke Nycz says:

    which tripod do you think would be better for a simple bridge camera like
    fujifilm hs30exr:
    Targus-Red-Pro-Series-60-3-Way-Panhead-and-Bubble-Level-Tripod or
    Manfrotto-Compact-Tripod

  12. H Ellis says:

    What a disaster……….continuous rambling without any valid points using
    rusty, sand packed discontinued gear. No pros/cons between various leg
    locks, ball heads vs 3-way pan/tilt heads or benefits of carbon fiber over
    aluminum.

    nice video d

    what is the squeeze trigger head you used on that old tripod?

  15. Bauss says:

    i have a fluid head , can you recomend me a good sturdy but inexpensive
    tripod legs??

  16. Brent Mail says:

    It’s really old – Bogen make I think, but a Manfrotto tripod is really good
    too. You get what you pay for. Hope this helps. Brent

  17. jobywankinoby says:

    I disagree. I would much rather spend a bit more than necessary, especially
    since higher end tripods appear to be higher priced due to lower weight
    while still stable enough to comfortably hold my camera and lense. The
    consequence is doing without a tripod until I can afford what’s best for me
    needs. Price is to a certain extent irrelevant.

  18. oasisbeyond says:

    You forgot how height and low the tripod can get.

  19. OnlyBARKMATTER says:

    very informative! thanks!

  20. reservednick says:

    Hello Brent, what model is this aluminium tripod at the beginin?

  21. daniel dimitriou says:

    Hey, im a starter, 15 y/o kid, and i love photography. Is a nikon65 tripod
    good for start? i cant afford much…

  22. ally buggi says:

    thanks for the information! 🙂 i currently use a canon t3i & a 50mm f/.4
    which is also canon. two weeks ago i was taking some self portraits using
    my wired remote when my tripod (which had already been broken before, but i
    continued to use it like an idiot) collapsed. i was wondering if you have
    any recommendations for a new one? i don’t want anything expensive, i’m a
    teen on a budget after all. 😉

  23. sch3ffs says:

    Hey, I was wondering what kind of tripod is the one you use the most. The
    one “that has been everywhere with me” What is the brand? Ive been looking
    up tripods online but dont know what one to buy.
