FRONT BOX for lower end Tripods


Recommended Posts

  • Premium Member

I want to make something that I can hang on the legs of my little Vinten tripod.

 

On smaller stuff, the slightly-variable weight loaded into a box would, I fear, cause issues. But I am very familiar with that desire for a place to put things.

 

I have a "set box" full of useful stuff that tends to sit under the tripod.

Personally, as an 1st AC, I've never worked on any film in which we used tripods

without the front box mount. Having said that, the fluid heads have always been

O'Connors or Sacthler 9+9s.

 

If the front box interferes with a shot, it can be removed in only a second. What

I don't keep in the front box stays on my belt or in my set bag.

As am operator, I don't like front boxes. I usually ask to remove them, as they sometimes interfere with the operation of the camera.

Just my little thought of the day...

I know more DPs who complain about front boxes until they realize they can stash their meter in it! : )
