holds the hand of time and walks along the road of life. For a photography enthusiast who likes to use a camera to record a beautiful life all the time, every picture is a beautiful memory.
Some people may think that taking pictures is a very high-level thing. Holding the camera and taking pictures, the pictures that appear are very beautiful. But as you become interested in photography, you will find that it is not what you imagined. Every photo that looks very good requires the assistance of a lot of equipment and post-production color correction and trimming before it can be presented to everyone. .
Do you think that every time you take a photo, you can take a very beautiful photo by holding the camera? No, the truth of the matter is that every time before traveling, you need to carry various photographic equipment. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like moving. Not only do you need to bring SLRs, lenses, drones, stabilizers, tripods, but also various stands and outdoor power supplies.
Even for short-distance shooting, you need to carry a camera, tripod, or drone, and stabilizer depending on the type of shooting. Speaking of which, I have to talk about the Jiaxinyue PX-428C carbon fiber tripod that I recently purchased. It is not only light, stable, silky smooth in operation, but also very cost-effective. Let’s take a look at it below!
Jiaxinyue was founded in 2008. Its main products focus on professional-grade photography tripods , light stands, optical equipment, pan-tilts and other photography accessories. The technical foundation of more than ten years is quite profound.
From the packaging, everyone knows that this is a tripod without a central axis. Because I have used several models with a central axis before, it is not very smooth. Especially after stretching the central axis, it is very unstable, which makes me depressed.
tripod is equipped with storage bag , which is slightly waterproof and wear-resistant. It can be carried by hand or carried on the shoulder. The overall feeling is good, and there are pockets inside the storage bag to bring some accessories. Because it is isolated, it will not scratch Damage the tripod itself.
This tripod without a central axis is mainly black and red in color and is made of carbon fiber material. The tripod has a conventional folding design. The folded diameter of the three leg tubes is 48.5cm, and the number of tripod sections is 4. , the weight is 1.75KG, the load-bearing capacity is 5KG, the maximum height is 148cm, and it can be carried with one hand. The advantages of this tripod are its light weight, high strength, good stability, and the ability to maintain stability under long-term working conditions while ensuring the safety of the camera on the stand. The horn can also be removed and used with a pan/tilt as a monopod, which is very convenient to use in certain situations.
The tripod has some common tools built into it. Three foot nails, three hex screws, one double-head screw and a hex wrench. For daily use, it is still completely sufficient.
Let’s take a look at the matching PH-40 professional gimbal. There are multiple knobs on both sides of the gimbal and . The left plate base knob is used to fix the quick release plate. The right main knob can control the pitch adjustment of the gimbal. Adjust the angle of the handle, and the horizontal knob below can lock the horizontal rotation of the gimbal.
The quick release plate is firmly fixed and very convenient to install and disassemble. The quick release plate supports two specifications of camera screws, 1/4 and 3/8. When the 1/4 screw is not in use, it can be tightened and fixed in the threaded hole on the other side of the handle. Storing the screws at ordinary times can effectively prevent the screws from scratching the tripod.
The handle is fixed with a metal sawtooth structure. As long as it is tightened, the handle can be fixed very firmly. The handle can also be extended. After being extended, it will be easier to adjust the gimbal.
The legs are made of carbon fiber. Although they are more expensive than iron tripods, the benefits are obvious. For example, it is extremely lightweight and does not freeze your hands when used in winter.
The entire leg is made of 11 layers of carbon fiber. In terms of hardness, it is quite guaranteed. Unless it is deliberately violently damaged, it will never be damaged.
provides two screw holes of different sizes on the side of the base. Using the magic hand can provide more expansion capabilities, such as monitors, microphones, lighting accessories, etc., can be expanded here.
legs support height adjustment at three angles. The adjustment process requires pulling the red lock outward. During actual adjustment, in addition to pulling outward with two fingers, you can also push forward from behind with one finger. When pushed to the end, it will automatically Locked.
The height of this leg can be adjusted by rotating the leg lock. Turn it about 1/4 counterclockwise to unlock it, and turn it 1/4 clockwise to lock it. The leg adjustment is also very convenient. Every time you use it, Can be adjusted to suit individual needs. Conventional foot pads have very good anti-slip properties and are very stable on smooth ground. The
foot nails are more suitable for land use scenarios. They are not too stable when embedded in the ground.
Although there is no central axis, the hooks are still matched. It can be said to be useless at ordinary times, but on windy days you can hang something heavy at the bottom to prevent it from tipping over and damaging the camera.
Because there is no central axis, it is very simple to lower the posture. As long as it is extended to the maximum opening and closing angle, it can reach a very low posture. It is extremely convenient to shoot low-angle pictures.
is still very stable at the highest altitude.
Since installing this professional pan/tilt, the images captured by the camera on a tripod will not see any shaking in the video. The biggest advantage of the hydraulic pan/tilt is the smoothness when the angle changes, and the images captured when panning. , it can be seen that it is very stable without any jitter.
The length of the handle can be adjusted by slightly rotating it, which can save a lot of time in daily life.
When shooting video, you need to move the camera, and adjustment of various angles is also very necessary.
Since the pitch adjustment is equipped with hydraulic damping, the difficulty of pitching can be achieved by adjusting the damping size during adjustment.
The pictures moving in the vertical direction are also very smooth. The hydraulic pan/tilt has its own 360° panoramic function. When shooting, by checking the dial on the pan/tilt, you can accurately grasp the angle of each rotation.
To a large extent, after using this tripod, the frequency of using the stabilizer has been greatly reduced. Because it is simple, small push, pull and pan movements can be completed on a tripod. So "burden reduction" is definitely not just talk.
After using it for a period of time, this tripod has a very wide range of adjustment. Due to the no-center axis design, the tripod can be almost lying on the ground. The maximum height of the tripod can be 148cm. The tripod can meet most uses. Scenes, such as overpasses, rooftops, outdoors, etc., place the camera on them to feel safer. As a companion in the photography career, having such a tripod really meets the needs of many photographers.
Okay, that’s it for today’s sharing. If you are also choosing a tripod, you might as well try this Jiaxinyue PX-428C. I hope my sharing can be helpful to you.
