Video - and photo tripod for backpackers
It is not easy to find a usable video tripod to which relatively small and easy to transport is still to easy. Such a tripod for hiking, especially for mountain tours, a prerequisite for successful recordings. Especially in the mountains, a steady hand is not always assume that, because the exertion of climbing the film hand car uneasy. Moreover, such a tripod should be able to be stowed in a backpack yet.
Normal video tripods, Manfrotto, or whether of another company, usually too big - big-and can not be transported in a backpack. They are also relatively heavy, so carrying in his hand synonymous not eligible. Anyone who has run with mountain hikes of 5 to 8 hours, a camera equipment, know where of I speak. So my thoughts were, find a feasible path.
For some years I use for mountain tours or hikes a so-called big camera tripod, Manfrotto 190B, Professional Tripad, with the center column. This brings Tripod 1700 grams on the scales. Stability is given to this tripod for a medium-sized video camera, as long as the center column is extracted. In this drawn-out tripod center column becomes unstable pans can be driven only shaky therefore useless for me.
In the mountains I film in years with a deep position. The images just work better because sometimes loosen up grass or other objects to the fore. With a fully extended tripod I only work in situations that leave me no other choice.
A Stillimage-Tripod for video recordings, but less suitable. Here, quite simply lack the possibility of a precise leveling "to bring into the water", ie horizontal orientation of the camera. Skewed images are not ugly and subsequently resolve with most editing programs. Here, the company with the leveler Manfrotto MA 438 a very good possibility. Using this leveler, it is possible to transform almost any suitable camera tripod into a usable video tripod. This leveler weighs about 450 grams So, tripod and leveler 2150 g. The combined weight of any Professor - Video Tripod undercut.
Another very important aspect is the so-called Cinema Eiger. There are a myriad of models. Most are not useful, since it does not smooth pans can be driven. Excellent has proven to me the video Neiger VELBON PH-268 Vel-flo-10th I personally find this better than the Manfrotto 503rd Neiger The pans take place here really buttery. When starting an horizontal swivel tilt head does not stick to the short but markedly down, as usual with the 503rd This fluid Eiger has been created for smaller camcorder and has delivered real value. A Sony2100 can still be properly driven. Neiger This is a purchase for life.
The items listed above - Tripod, leveler and Fluid Eiger - make for a universal tripod combination. Size, weight and stability are perfectly adequate for serious filmmakers. The most important thing s.der whole thing is, the recordings are excellent. No jerk tremble or be detrimental to the recordings. Because if I can not stand one s.der filmmaking, then this is bad shots. Handheld or Tripod, it was cheap. In both cases, the recordings, at least for me, not usable, and belong in the trash. Clarity is thereby deteriorated quite considerably. Also, the autofocus is no real point of rest and always wants to refocus.
Those who already undergo the trouble of making unique images in the mountains that is synonymous ready to use on a suitable tripod. I know what I mean. Also I have already tried with a handheld camera roam the Dolomites. The motives were first class, my shots, but less. Horizon and jittery

Hi together,
I opted for the following composition:
Tripod: Cullmann 4405 (1.9 KG)
Nivellierkugel: Manfrotto 438 (0.65 KG)
Video Head: Manfrotto 701HDV (0.83 KG)
TOTAL 3.38 KG
Costs about 240th - Euro. I opted for the Cullmannstativ, because it has a permanently-mid-level spreader. The Manfrotto Tripods have made of me too shaky impression.
Unfortunately, Dixons has given me so far delivered only the tripod. On the head with the Nivellierkugel I am still waiting. I would be interested in your thoughts once the combination! Would you rather the VELBON PH-268
guess?
