I’ve tried using it while shooting with live view and found that you can really take your time composing your image just like a landscape photographer does. When using this tripod underwater you can also create nice seascapes and be very precise with your composition. If you’re into landscape photography chances are you’ve spend plenty of time with your camera on a tripod.
Creating smooth horizontal or vertical movements, or panning, becomes a lot easier and even some handheld macro shooting is possible, although for the real small stuff you’ll have to put the housing down. By holding onto the arms instead of the camera housing you won’t see the quick jitters that are so common with DSLR video footage. While this tripod is certainly built for a sedentary lifestyle, it also proved great for the “on the go” pace of shooting wide-angle subjects.īy bringing two arms together (for example the back and left one) and putting one arm up (right one) you create a setup that will make your footage much smoother. The name tripod probably makes you think that the only way to use this product is by putting the housing on the bottom to create static, stable footage of either macro subjects or seascapes. This way of controlling the length of the legs makes for a very adjustable tripod underwater. Expanding the legs is as simple as loosening the knob, sliding out the segment of the leg, and then tightening the knob again. The legs come in three segments and can be further extended if needed. The twist clamp allows you to easily change the angle of the legs when you loosen it up a little bit without the hassle of a traditional ball clamp.
The ball head version attaches just like any normal strobe arm, while the twist clamp can be truly adjusted with one hand just by turning the leg to the right to tighten and left to loosen. The legs come with either a ball head or twist clamp. The tripod bracket and anti-rotate plate for a Nauticam housing
