Larry Sanbourne Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Hi, I'm doing some work that requires extreme portability and need a tripod that fits in a backpack, is super lightweight, and will lift a lightweight camera (iPhone 15, or something similarly sized but better…) to about eye level. Non-professional colleagues have success with consumer-grade tripods like Pixel Maker T3, and I'm just wondering if there's something lighter, more stable, or otherwise better. Many thanks, -L
Joerg Polzfusz Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) Hi! a) Do you want to lift the camera (like with a crane) or should it stay at eye-level (so that a simple tripod is sufficient)? b) What’s your eye-level? 1.5m or 2m? c) Do you need a video head so that you can do some smooth panning etc.? Or is a photo head sufficient? d) How do you define „stable“? Do you need a ground spreader with weights? e) How large is your backpack? f) There are special tripods for smartphones that have an integrated Bluetooth remote release so that you can start/stop the take without tapping onto the display. Do you need this? Edited January 3, 2024 by Joerg Polzfusz
Larry Sanbourne Posted May 24, 2024 Author Posted May 24, 2024 Hello, thanks for your reply and sorry I didn't see it. I'm actually still looking for this. I'm looking for a simple tripod, photo head. I'm 1.9m tall. No weights since I'm traveling with lots of other gear. I hadn't heard of the Bluetooth remote. This would actually be amazing but not required. Thank you!
