'Tripod-Off' Twitter Video
Added 2019-07-06 17:29:00 +0000 UTC
My distracting tendency to chime in about things on Twitter is admittedly something I should work on, but occasionally it results in fun, creative mini-projects.
I made a short video to demonstrate the "smarter" way to extend camera tripods, which makes life easier during a long shoot day.
This is a higher-quality version of the video, without the watermark.
But...but...how do we know the fastest way to put it back down again? I feel...only 50% informed...it's like eating just half a donut with half a cup of coffee.

I don’t see adjusting in the midst of anything comes more often. Usually such scenes are on a counter balancer, but as usually that is an informative clip, that winner loop though haha.

Who extends tripod legs with them open?

My even faster way is to just fold the tripod up, drop the 3 legs, tighten the extend again. I also mainly do photography though...

so... moral of the story, bottom to top, so you don't have to lean down or be quite as off balance.
exception is 1-2 if you know you'll only need two steps.
