Steadfast, loyal and true!! Advantages: Reasonably priced, portable but very sturdy! Disadvantages: could do with reaching just a few more inches at full height. ...photography too, starting with the Sony VCT-R640 tripod. Although this tripod is nowhere near top of the range it does pretty much everything you would expect of it and at a great price. Sony products are always of high quality and this tripod is no different. It can be used for still imaging cameras or video cameras as long as they do not exceed 3Kg in weight which unless you are using top end professional cameras with huge lenses they will not. ... ...what you are filming. The Sony VCT-R640 tripod comes with a quick release mounting shoe which means the camera can be removed and replaced on the tripod very quickly without it having to be unscrewed each time, simply screw the camera to the fitting shoe then attach the shoe to the tripod with one click and remove when needed and replace with simple one click motions. At its lowest height this tripod stands around 21 inches stretching to a massive ... thebigc1690 22.01.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony VCT R640 Tripod
Verry good tripod ... without the original ballhead Advantages: light, stable, good construction Disadvantages: ball head not usable this tripod is a good choice for hiking or on travel. Its just its head too light and impractical. I have an adapter that allows you to mount any photo ballhead on this tripod : http://pouypouy.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-adapt-photo-ballhead-on.html # the locking legs system is simple, safe and quick # the mounting / down / locking system of the central column is simple, good stop, without crank # the low-angle leg setting can autorize to put the ... ...is stable with a load of 2 or 3kg, without risk of camera fall down The bad side of this choice is its video ballhead: polycarbonate, the locking system does not take the load of 2 kg (it's normal : tripod is sold for a maximum load of 1 kg ), especially in vertical position (portrait). ... dahu73 28.06.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Manfrotto Modo 785B Tripod
Good quality video light Advantages: Sony reliability, strong light Disadvantages: Power hungry A video light that delivers either 10w or 20w, as you would expect it's a little power hungry but if like me you use NP-F950 batteries in your cameras, this takes the same size and so is not a problem. It also takes NP-F330/530/550/750 but if you want to use it in 20w mode i would recommend the NP-750 or higher. It fits onto any accessory shoe on any camera and throws a good light. I use it at weddings where its not practical to set up studio lights ... ...tend to use 10w and for wider shots the 20w. Both can be a little harsh on faces and can cause people to squint, even though the light is diffused. You can diffuse it further with some tissue paper which gives a nice soft light. A good well made light that has it's place for the amateur or semi pro. Recommended. ...

It's a tripod Jim, but not as we know it.. Advantages: Lightweight (325g), compact, extremely flexible, rugged, inexpensive, attaches to almost anything! Disadvantages: Only works with genuinely compact cameras The Joby Gorillapod - goes where no other tripod dares to tread Introduction When you say the word 'tripod' it conjures up a certain image, those three-legged extendable pole accessories which Grandad always insisted on getting down from the loft religiously every Christmas to take the obligatory 'group family photo' (in which no one would ever all smile at the same time, ever). Rusty, wobbly, stiff, rigid and rarely a better solution than ... ...This is where the Joby Gorillapod comes in, and what an entrance it makes! Design Genuine innovation doesn't just take an old idea and refine it or improve on it, genuine innovation goes right back to the drawing board and totally rethinks the original problem and comes up with a totally new way to solve it. And that's exactly what the good people at Joby did with this unasuming, yet intensely practical gadget. Yes, it's a tripod in the technical ...

Gorillapod in the mist! Advantages: Small, easy to use Disadvantages: None Like many other people there are 2 situations that really annoy me when I'm taking photos. The first is when you want a photo of yourself or you and a friend / partner, and there's no one else there to take the photo. How do we usually get round this? Either hold the camera at arms length, usually ending up with half a face and no scenery or balance the camera somewhere on timer and hope for the best!! The second is that of night time (scenery) photos. ... ...hand, but if my night time photography is anything to go by, I shake like I've gone cold turkey!!! Forever am I left with bleary streaks of light and there never seems to be anything to balance the camera on at the time or it is not flat enough if there is! So with these annoyances in mind I decided to buy a mini tripod to finally add another string to my photographic bow. After looking at a few normal ridged tripods I came across the Gorillapod ... puddingmancan 14.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Joby Gorillapod Tripod
