　　Tripod when the rails, rocker, stabilizer? Three tips to better use the tripod

　　Microfilm is a money-burning gadget! Fortunately, there are tips and tricks to help you produce professional-looking videos at a fraction of the cost. The focus of this lesson is on how to use the tripod's extension feet to further professionalize your video.

　　Let's review the following tips;

　　1,the tripod as a small camera slider

　　If you retract one leg of the tripod, you can use the remaining two legs as a fulcrum to move your camera back and forth smoothly. This practice can be added to the static shooting sports lens, so a bland lens appears to have a suspense, or you can emphasize an object. However, do not forget to move your camera forward and backward carefully when you lean on the camera. This allows you to keep the lens screen structure at the same time provide a smooth movement effect.

　　2,The tripod as a rocker

　　Like a tripod as a small slide, retract one leg and mount the camera on the remaining two legs. Because you want to try to imitate the rocker shoot, your camera will be straight forward to the ground. This effect can be enhanced by extending the length of the tripod. These types of shots typically reveal shocking shots in certain scenes or the lens is shaken from high to low emphasizing a character or an object.

　　3,The tripod as a Camera stabilizer

　　The weight of the tripod can help you stabilize your lens. As long as the three legs are opened and the tripod is clenched from below, these extra weight helps to keep the vibration to a minimum. This technique requires practice to converge, but this technique will make your shot more fluid and thus make your video better. If you are not satisfied with your material, you can drop later to add image stability parameters. We use Final Cut's Smoothcam filter.

　　4,The magic of rubber band

　　If you take a rubber band used in our daily life and place it on the handle of a tripod, you can smooth your pan. Dedicated rubber band with extra degree of stretch will help you shoot a stable lens. Be sure to hold one hand firmly in the camera and the other hand carefully draws the rubber band to control the direction of movement.
