No
one, and I mean no one, likes to carry a tripod, but at the same time,
there’s no single tool that can improve your images as much as using a
tripod regularly. No matter how fast a shutter speed you use, your
pictures will be sharper, crisper and clearer if you put the camera on
a tripod. Period. The whole package is compact. Instead of struggling to carry an ungainly tripod over a shoulder, you can slip the Novoflex kit into your camera bag so it’s always with you. For travel, in particular, this is a welcome feature. The next time you plan to take your camera on an airplane, you won’t have to leave something else at home in favor of bringing the tripod. The Novoflex kit exudes high build quality. The parts are a combination of machined aluminum and durable plastics. The basic configurations you can set up with the system include a mini tripod, a clamp with a 1¾-inch opening that can be affixed to just about anything, a mini-ballhead, a suction-type clamp for adhering to smooth surfaces, a plastic clamp for holding objects other than a camera, a six-inch extension post that can extend any part of the kit and the storage case. The kit can support camera weights of up to about 6½ pounds.  |
