When it comes to tripods and heads, do you really need expensive gear to create great landscape photography?
What's the actual difference between a tripod rig that costs over $3000 and one that costs under $300?
I take both rigs out into the freezing cold Canadian winter to demonstrate the pros and cons of 'Pricey Vs Affordable' camera gear.
In this video I compare a professional level combo from FLM Tripods with a much more affordable and more versatile combo from Freewell. There are differences that you might not have considered with unique features and usability scenarios that landscape photographers need to know.
Allow me to explain some of the common pitfalls that you'll experience when using tripods for landscape photography. From geared heads to ball-heads, centre columns to tripods that won't even fit in your camera bag. Learn from my mistakes before you buy a tripod.
Will these tripods collapse under the heifer test and are you willing to accept a bit of 'wobble' to get more comfort?
There's really only one way to find out.
Thanks for watching Gavin - Fototripper
