content with certain vertical angles, we must require tripod to assist especially during night, sunrise, sunset and in weak
light environments, or we need to shoot with long exposure, delay etc. , in which cases, one cannot hold cameras. Here
are suggestions for choosing a tripod matching Pro 2.
1. Mounting point on the tripod holder has two types: 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch. The base bottom of Pro 2 provides 3/8 nut
stad turning 1/4 inch tapped hole structure, allowing camera to fit the common tripod screw specifications of 1/4 and
3/8. Apart from the mounting point at the bottom, altogether four 1/4 mounting points are around forming a cross,
which is convenient for using some special tripods to make stronger fixation.
(Base central mounting point is 3/8 turn 1/4)
(Base central mounting point is 3/8)
2. When choosing tripod, one should first consider whether it is stable, and try to choose professional brand or have a
try personally to select the suitable one.
3. Panoramic video always simulates a first-person point of view. The distance of Pro 2 base to lens is about12 cm, so
please select tripod with a height above 160 cm.
4. Panorama video also needs bottom stitching. It’s not recommended using a tripod with direction adjusting handle.
5. Shooting of scenery theme may give priority to single unipod. Unipod occupies a much smaller area than tripod,
which is easier to erase in post editing. In panoramic videos, if we look down at our feet, we oen find that there is a
place that is unnatural or covered with LOGO of the producer, which actually hides the unipod position.
6. if the subject is mainly recording activity or there are many uncontrollable people on the scene, a tripod which is
more stable should be chosen to avoid person collision and camera damage.
