With summer upon us, it’s a great time to be taking pictures. Whether you prefer color or black & white, there’s no better subject than Mother Nature’s beautiful exploding greenery.
To capture the best possible stills, I have been employing a tripod this year, the first time in my five year photography craze. And I love it. Not knowing what to expect, I decided to purchase a fairly inexpensive tripod from Amazon.com (http://catalog.amazon.com/abis/detailPage.amzn?asin=B000N4X6AO). The Digital Concepts TR-62N cost me about $25, and it has so far been a great investment.
Upon opening the box, I found the tripod contained in a compact black vinyl case measuring about 23 inches long. The vinyl case had a handy adjustable strap, and can easily be carried over your shoulder. The entire unit weighs less than 3 pounds.
The Digital Concepts TR-62N is an attractively styled tripod, with aluminum telescopic legs capped with swiveled rubber feet. Each leg has two telescoping segments, easily locked and unlocked by flipping a lever. Action is smooth and easy.
The tripod head is composed mostly of black plastic, except for the rubber foam grips at the top of the legs.
A really neat feature which I was surprised to find on a tripod of this price, are two leveling bubble indicators. The first bubble indicator is located at the top of one of the legs, while the second level indicator is located at the base of the camera mount.
The legs extend to a length of 60 inches, and the unit is very stable at maximum height. I used the tripod with my trusty old Canon Digital Rebel, and they worked together splendidly.
For about $25, the Digital Concepts TR-62N is a professional quality tripod all novice and intermediate photographers should consider.
