Tripod setup on Mai 2019

7/6/2019

Maybe it's time to describe my tripod setup after years of modifications and trials. 

My first good tripod is a MTO55CXPRO4 Carbon tripod from Manfrotto. Is't a tripod with many useful features:
Max. Load: 9 kg,
90° Comum system for macro.   
Weight: 2100 Gr.
Max. Center heigh with center column down: 140 Cm.
Max. heigh with column up: 170 Cm.
​Carbon  

​Price: 429 Euro

On the Tripod I have fixed an Neewer Pro Video Tilt Head. This has been introduced as my Video Head was bought without that feature. 

​Price:  44 Euro

On this Video Tilt Head I mounted my MHV500AH. This Fluid Video head has many advantages beside the excellent filming functions. When I do panorama stitching it is a very stable unit and together with the Video Tilt Head it takes no time to install a perfect horizon over the 360 °.  Maybe a tip could be: Buy the Video Head with the Tilt function already in the head.

On the MHV500AH I installed an adapter towards ARCA-SWISS type equipment. It's a Neewer 55mm Universal Screw Knop Clamp. (14 Euro)
Picture
The final piece of the setup is an Arca-Swiss quick release L plate. This allows me to switch between landscape and portrait mode in no time. It was a Neewer but is not followed anymore by Neewer. 
An equivalent is available from Ayex on amazon. 
Price:  18 Euro.

There is one accessory that I purchased to move the focal point of the camera with lens right above the rotating point of the tripod: 200 mm Rail slide Metal quick release Clamp from Neewer. 
It is not installed when not used for panorama photography. 

Price: 19 Euro.

You may ask yourself why I buy the Arca-swiss accessories always from Neewer. It is known that there are variations on the tolerance of the Arca-Swiss plates. To avoid this I only would buy it from the same supplier.
