1-Introduction
I had the great opportunity to be the first to get my hands onto the new tripod that PPCP (http://www.perfectpixelcameraparts.com/) just launched. Just as curious as me and you here who wondered why the tripod that seems so good but yet so affordable, i decided to write a mini review here to answer all your answers.
Firstly, why a tripod? How important is your tripod? Very important if you want to maximize depth of field and image sharpness at low speeds with any camera. Landscape photography without a tripod is pure disaster. Night shots with tripods are almost a must, plus with the upcoming fireworks display nearing our national day celebrations, a good and lightweight tripod will surely make your day a wonderful one.
2 - Detailed Look at the PPCP Professional Tripod
The PPCP Pro tripod is made of machined alloy aluminium and has 4 leg sections operated by quick release levers. It has a maximum height of 165cm and a minimum of 50cm. One first look at it gives me a very professional feel and it seems like it is well made.
Here's a picture of it at the low angle setting with a MOS burger regular milkshake:
Also, the PPCP Pro tripod comes standard with a ballhead mount and a quick release plate for your camera mounting. Operating of the mount allows the user to quickly mount and remove the camera in one swift pull of the lever. The top of the quick release plate is lined with cork, and thus protecting the base of your camera from any scratches or damage. The screw mount is made of metal, not plastic in cheaper models.
Here's some photos of the mount.
