Support & Stability

That’s right, good support and stability is everything when it comes to professional results in photography. In this video I take a look at two of my favourite tripods.

After a loyal 11 years of service I had to replace my most used tripod recently so I thought it would be a good opportunity to show you the new model of the Manfrotto 058B as well as my other favourite the Manfrotto Neotec.

There are lots of different tripods on the market but this video simply shows why I’ve chosen these models for ease of use and durability…..Although I do think it is about time Manfrotto offered me a sponsorship deal ;)

All the best,
Karl.

      Thanks Rene,
      I think he uses a ND 0.6 anyway seeing as he is using a CPL as well making it 4 stops slower.
      donno, but I already ordered a nd 0.6 ><
