Manfrotto Tripod Review

Saturday, 25 February 2012

On Slickdeals i saw this tripod (Manfrotto 7322YB M-Y Tripod with Ball Head) being sold for 50% off and free shipping from Costco. It normally sells for $70 on Amazon.

I like how compact it is and the adjustable swivel head attachment. But i'll have to eyeball the camera being level, especially on shots outside with the horizon.


It's small, light, strong enough.
And it comes with it's own bag which is nice.

Mini Tripods

Tuesday, 11 October 2011

About a year ago, while checking either Slickdeals or Fatwallet i saw this mini tripod for $1. So i bought it. I didn't really use it much at first, but now that i'm doing more with the CHDK software, i use it all the time.
It turned out to be one of the best things i ever ordered for a buck. I use it a ton because it is so easy to carry around in your pocket. It's not perfect, but for time lapse photos or long exposures at night it a necessity.
Amazon has it for sale all the time for $2 with free shipping. It's definitely worth buying.
Then recently i bought the Joby Gorillapod.
It was $13 and it works a little better. It's definitely a lot more flexible for gripping.
They are perfect because of their small size.
