Now, if one comes to the idea of a 2kg camera with zoom lens 1200mm zigfach to anchor daily in the ground and precisely why we need this tripod can one easily write his review here in a trance. One could also come up with the idea to mount a roof rack and trailer hitch to a Lamborghini.
I am much by mountain bike on the road and Scan happy. To more distant things to photograph, I use a zoom camera which is already difficult logically. Here my small tripod is very useful because it is mounted to be able to quickly take a snapshot. It should be said that the camera must stand still to a good image with max. Zoom to achieve (this is only for the Lambo fans here). For this purpose I verklemme it were the tripod to the saddle. With the thumbscrew of the photo is fixed mitsammt tripod at lightning speed. Sure there are a lot of other ways to moor a photo / camera on a bicycle - it's now talk about precisely this.
The idea to write a review for the little tripod I arrived than I use for about 2 years actually wanted to throw away because the ball head is no longer well determine went. I have it to me a closer look and see there a small screw (below) protects the entire mechanism. The ball head is by "unequal roll" fixed which ends at the Mother flights. A screw-wheel in turn fixes the roll from below. Screw type - ie after adjustable and thus everything was with very little effort the old - just good.
4 + 1 because it keeps my Lumix properly with retracting the lens. Is "so" is not used, but still possible.
(But more on that minimal knowledge of physics of gravity required) ;-)
