Tripods & Supports; The
Hama 4035 DigiPod compact folding camera tripod is appropriate for all
compact cameras up to 500g. This tripod folds flat for carrying in your
purse or pocket. The Hama tripod features a tilting platform for the
camera and rubber feet so there is no slipping once you position the
tripod. A Manfrotto 055 Pro Tripod and 322RC2 head is an excellent
tripod for 35mm SRL cameras. These are great for using outdoors. The
Manfrotto has a center column that can be re-fit as a horizontal
lateral arm. This is one of the simplest ways of shooting your photos
from overhead. With four leg angle settings, a low angle adapter built
in the center column, and a rapid action lever leg locks you can shoot
your photos from every angle - ground level to overhead. The 322RC2
head has taken the versatility of a ball head, added ergonomic control
and you have a photographic head that will allow you to unblock, move,
and lock your camera all with one hand. This head has a friction
control wheel that allows you to regulate the blocking mechanism to
match the weight of your camera. Made from magnesium for the
lightweight qualities, this allows the weight of the camera to be as
close as it can to the tripods center of gravity. The 200PL quick
release assembly can be repositioned for left handed use. This tripod
comes with a built-in bubble spirit level and is suitable for using
with 35mm cameras or medium format cameras.
