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.

Three Legged Lightweight Advantages: Lightweight and stylish Disadvantages: A bit flimsy for the professional photographer The Hama 75 is constructed from lightweight aluminium and might be considered as an entry level tripod that is both stylish and durable. I really like the appearance of this tripod. It comes in a kind of metallic tarnished champagne finish with black trimmings. This makes a welcome change from the more common aluminium grey or black. It is very much on the light side weighing in at 620g. This is a great advantage if you have to carry it around al ... ...ground. The legs of the Hama 75 are slender and extend smoothly and the tripod is equipped with a 3-way head and quick release plate. The central column has a continuous and variable height adjustment that is controlled by a wind up handle - another nice feature that is well designed. I also really like the handle on the tripod stem. This is very useful as it allows you to easily carry it around without a case. The Hama Star range of tripods are ...

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
Vivitar 285 review Advantages: durable, adjustable power Disadvantages: slow recycling, heavy I got given this by a friend who knew I needed a flash gun (but couldn't afford one) and he had one to spare. Unfortunately he didn't have the manual so working out how to use it was a bit of a guessing game. Positives: Very sturdy and durable. Flash direction can be adjusted up and down (from shooting directly towards the subject to straight up for bouncing light of the ceiling). There is a switch at the back to turn it on and a light which goes ... ...of the flash is adjustable - this is where you may have problems though if you don't have the manual as some of the power settings are denoted in colours which if you don't have the manual, you don't know what they represent. There is a button to trigger the flash separately from using the camera as a trigger (this is good for tesing if it's working!) Takes AA batteries - easy to get hold of. Has a 'lock' lever which can be used to secure it to the ... Huomenna 04.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Vivitar 285 Flash Gun
