Revainrating 5 out of 5

A bit pricey if you're not into photography, but easy to use, easy to carry, and functional.

My parents planned a family trip to Quebec, Canada in 1968. It was one of the most eventful family outings ever and I received a 35mm camera and flash as a birthday gift. . I was interested in the threaded hole on the bottom of the camera and read that it was for a tripod. Although I've never been into photography, I've used this camera a lot over the years for travel and the like. I would have wished for a tripod like that back then. While some of the photos I took in Canada didn't need a tripod for framing, some of them would probably give me better shots. The pavilions and rides were still intact when we took a day trip to Montreal from Quebec. Most of the time I had to leave it in the car but the faire had some very special looking rides and attractions which I would appreciate if I could get a good picture. I rode the attraction, which was a pyramid on the outside with metal supports and a tall caterpillar that came out of the top and entered another structure. I have an old fuzzy photo on the outside and some good photos on the inside. I couldn't use a tripod inside, but today I'd like one that's light and functional on the outside to hold the structure. Reputed to be the most expensive attraction of its time, it featured a spiraling track inside that caused things to appear as you got to each level. Space capsules and people in space suits walking etc. My camera had a flash so I was able to capture some of that. After exiting the pyramid's spiral, you stepped outside over 100 feet to a structure designed to simulate immersion in an active volcano. Inside, some prehistoric creatures leaped at you as you quickly descended. It wasn't the funnest trip, but it was interesting. Back in Quebec, I remember feeling a little jealous as we climbed the ramparts of the old fort to see some photographers who had set up their tripods to photograph the harbor to the north. and the city to the west. There is an inn that looks like a castle to get a good shot from. This was long before fuzzy logic or cameras, so my shot was shaky and blurry. My memories stuck because I kept thinking about that threaded hole in the bottom of my camera, oddly enough I've never had a tripod until now. I guess I don't take photos that much, but if I did this would be the tripod for me. Height adjustable, lightweight and with tilt and angle adjustment, ideal for indoor and outdoor photography. I have a decent low light digital camera today and they will be filming a fireworks show at a nearby location later this year. I will be using a tripod to shoot fireworks and it will get the perfect angle as I can remotely trigger the camera after the caption. highlighted.

If you don’t know Tripods, then don’t count on any instructions....
