A horizontal arm for a tripod.

Or, in her case, probably a flexible tripod attached to a light or ceiling fan.

Unanswered question from the previous megathread


Author /u/blobber109 - (Permalink)

I'm looking to get a travel tripod in addition to my main aluminium Manfrotto - I'm looking at a Gorilla pod (this one) but £70 seems excessive.

Could I get this without the head (and save £30) and just attach my Manfrotto one?

Or should I just avoid it altogether and get a different brand?

u/TonyDarko · 4 pointsr/photography

That was an excellent and thoughtful gift, kudos to you. Aside from the lenses, there are a few other things that help a lot when starting out in photography (I'm just figuring this out as I'm pretty new):

  • A tripod can help if he wants to take low-light pictures and set up really long shutter times (it basically makes it so that no shaking messes up his pictures) and it can help to take pictures of you guys. I'm planning on bringing one for a trip with my girlfriend and I so we can take cool pictures where there may not be other people to help out.

  • A good bag or backpack would be great, increasingly so as the amount of gear that he has goes up. It's tough to carry around all that crap, and these bags make it pretty easy to fit.

  • a strap, pretty self explanatory. carrying around a DSLR in one hand sucks.

  • Extra memory cards and possibly an external hard drive are nice because RAW camera files take up a toooon of storage and having backups is always nice in the case that a really important picture gets corrupted.

    As for lenses:

    Nikon 35mm prime (basically allows him to take pretty nice, wide open landscape pictures at great quality)

    50mm prime widely regarded as the best starting lens (another no zoom lens that is an all-around all-star that is pretty versatile. good for portraits, landscapes, etc)
u/treyethan · 3 pointsr/Vive

My experience is that the Vive's roomscale tracking is so good that even in very disadvantageous circumstances for seated play, it works great with both lighthouses turned on. You can run with just one, if you switch the one that's on to "a" mode, but I've seen no difference.

I run both lighthouses because my room layout is like this, which theoretically should be one of the worst possible ways to do the seated experience:

LH1 Monitor
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│\ Chaperone boundaries Keybd/Mouse │
│ \ │
│ LH1 points Chair │
│ here │
│ │
│ ┌────────────────┘
│ Roomscale play area │
│ │ Table and
│ │ chairs here,
│ LH2 │ but view from
│ points │ LH2 to the
│ here │ area above is
│ \ │ clear
│ \ │
│ Chaperone boundaries \│
└───────────────────────────────────────────┘
LH2


LH1 is on a GorillaPod clamped to the top corner of a bookcase and pointed downwards in roughly the recommended angle; it's also at skewed on the horizontal angle a bit because of the way the GorillaPod happened to clamp, but that doesn't seem to affect tracking at all.

LH2 is on a simple aluminum light stand and screwed directly into the threading, without even a camera mount. So it's seven feet up and pointing level, not down, and I was worried that would be a problem, but it hasn't been. (As I mentioned in a different comment thread, it doesn't wobble from the motor like you might think, even though a gust from someone slamming a door is enough to wobble the spindly pole.)

My play area basically has to be situated this way because of the placement of doors and windows. So when I'm playing seated, my back is to the closer lighthouse. (If you're wondering, in roomscale games, SteamVR is happy to display an L-shaped boundary area, but some games override that, using just the big rectangle and not the smaller square where my chair is.)

With experimentation I've found that I can run from there with either lighthouse turned off, and I had no trouble with tracking, but I had occasional problems with occlusion (if the controller is in my lap, it can't see LH2 at all; if I bring my left hand up to my face, the HMD can lose sight of LH1). With both lighthouses on, no such problems.

So while you're right that you can run with one lighthouse, I really don't see any reason to, given that you have to physically fiddle with them (to turn one off and turn the other to "a"; the Bluetooth link can't do this, it can only turn them both on and off). I guess you save a little power, but you don't get illustratively better tracking response. This may be a YMMV thing, but to the OP I'd just say you're probably prematurely optimizing for what won't be a problem in the first place.

(Obviously if you mount it to the ceiling using the bottom threading, it'll be upside-down, but that shouldn't matter either; except for the field of view, the orientation of the lighthouses is irrelevant.)

    Four Lens(18-55, 55-210, 28mm 2.8, 55mm 1.7)

    Charger, Portable battery pack

    Sharpie, Pen

    2 Extra SD Cards

    Flashlight Energizer Hardcase this is a lil beast and puts out a surprising amount of light

    Oh and a Makeup brush my buddies gave me a lot of shit buying those haha(seriously if you dont have one in the bag youre wrong, theyre cheaper than a "Camera Brush" Ive found them to be higher quality than a lot Ive come across for the price and you can get so many shapes and sizes. Ive Got a small brush it says its a concealer brush on the side and was well worth the couple bucks.)

  • Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack

    Canon T3i

    3 Lens (Kit lens, 70-300, Nifty Fifty)

    Extra batteries(3 I think because Im terrible at remembering to charge)

    Gorilla Pod(tripod)

    Extra SD

    Pen/Pencil

    The Bottle holder on this bag is perfect as a holster when I have the 70-300 on the camera




    Those are my two main bags as of right now, and if I want I can throw the A6k in with the canon or vice versa so if I want both on me I have the ability. That ability to holster the canon gives the Versipack a slight lead in capability if I want to carry both. Oh and I carry an instax printer in one or the other most the time just because its a fun item to have and be able to print from.




    I like to roadtrip and hike a lot so these bags being as small as they are, are perfect to grab throw in the car and go. Both are water resistant(versipack has an add. water protection flap) so Im not worried to much about rain and I just cut some foam to put in the bottom of the main pouches for a lil extra protection against bumps.

    When I say I hike I mean if I see a spot I think would be good for a snap and its on top of this ridge/hill Ive now become an amateur mountain climber and Im getting up there so I need something I can quickly sling over my back and start scrambling.

    I really like the sling bag style because lets say Im halfway up and realize that where Im at right then would be a cool shot I can hang on with one hand and then with one free hand i can swing the bag to my front grab the camera and have it back on my back without ever taking the bag off or any possibility of dropping the bag and watching it tumble 100ft down. Then I get home and realize all I got a picture of was a trees leaves. Plus the sling bags give you a bit of leeway when youre out and about and a place doesnt allow backpacks but if you keep it over one shoulder the places Ive been in havent batted an eye. (Hahah if a woman can carry a purse right?)

    TLDR; 5.11 Tactical MOAB 6(sony A600), and a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack(Canon T3i). I hike a lot.

Wrap the legs of a GorillaPod around the cart and mount the camera to that.

The amazon-brand remote shutter release seems to be just as good as the nikon-brand and is quite cheap. Same one I use

http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Wireless-Control-Digital-Cameras/dp/B003L1ZYZ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449114246&sr=8-1&keywords=nikon+shutter



If that is too cheap and you want something to add to the christmas gift, a gorilla-tripod would probably pair well.

http://www.amazon.com/JOBY-Gorillapod-Tripod-Bundle-Cameras/dp/B002FGTWOC/ref=pd_sim_421_6?ie=UTF8&dpID=41CJlE1xloL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0RDV13SH8ZJ6QEVMMTS6

Edit: if for some reason she feels the need for a really accurate wireless shutter release, there are also radio triggers. However I would say for the vast majority of people this is unnecessary and the basic infrared remotes are a better choice.

u/DatAperture · 2 pointsr/photography

This isn't arca style, but it's low, has a quick release plate, and can support up to 6.6 pounds. The head is detachable. And I have one, so I recommend it. Not sure if it's what you're loking for, but [here you go.]

u/thisguy9 · 2 pointsr/Cameras

I don't know if it would be your best option so I hope some others comment but here is my suggestion.

Pick up a refurbished DSLR that can shoot photos and video. I recently got a Nikon D3300 + kit lens for ~$350 from Adorama. This will take good photos and allow you to upgrade the lens down the road if your needs change. Add on a microphone and a tripod and you should be under $500.

u/Thestassinator · 2 pointsr/Filmmakers

I've been glued to this subreddit since September soaking up all the information possible as the filming process began.



So we shot this with a Lumix GH5 with a 12mm-35mm lens. We had the camera on a JOBY GorillaPod but we couldn't get any sort of tape (Gaff, Duct etc) to get it to stick to the dashboard. So for the front angle we used the legs of the pod and hung it from the rear view mirror and shot the skit upside down. We put the lens on the widest setting and put it on auto focus.



For audio we used a Zoom H4n Pro. We placed it on a little stand resting on the center console on the 120 setting. All audio was captured on the day, none of it is ADR.



The biggest challenge in the edit bay was the fact that some takes we're done when the car was at a red light while some we're in motion. We had a 6 mile loop which we drove over and over and we just ran through the skit multiple times not really paying attention to whether we were moving or stopped. It was 48 minutes of footage cut down to 2:19 of actual skit.



As far as my involvement went, I co-wrote, acted, captured audio and edited the skit. I'm the guy in the blue shirt riding shotgun (Dane) for reference.




Would love any feedback, thoughts, or advice!

u/Lunibomber · 2 pointsr/Throwers

I use one of these to attach my phone to my tripod.

Works great with both my iPhone 5s (small) and my Pixel XL (big) and it comes with adjustable length pins depending on which you need.

You can use it with a little cheap table-top tripod like this for a quick, light weight, portable and versatile rig.

You can hang it all kinds of places or use it just as a tripod. Not something you want to put a pan/tilt head on (like moving the camera smoothly while filming) but set and forget it's really nice.

u/Pyronious · 1 pointr/videography

Have you considered a Gorillapod?

u/Scifiname · 1 pointr/photography

I have a small budget at work for improving how we take macro photos of circuit boards. I'm looking into finding a good small tripod like a gorillapod. I have no experience with macro, so I don't know how good a choice this is given all of the joints and the ball head. Would it be worth it to add something like this platform ? Or would we be able to get away with just a small tripod to get some decent shots? I don't need to do any focus stacking or things like that. We are using a 100mm macro lens on an eos rebel.

u/gatorsss1981 · 1 pointr/photography

I am interested in getting into photography and recently ordered my first camera. I bought a Canon T5i w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens and a EF 75-300mm F/4-5.6 III Autofocus Telephoto Zoom Lens.

I am mainly interested in taking portraits, landscape and event photos. The events I work at are in everything from hotel ballrooms, private homes to convention spaces, almost always indoors with fairly dim lighting.

I've been trying to do some research on different equipment and gear that I would need, and came up with the following list. Is there anything that I don't need or a better alternative than I have listed? Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks

u/yokubari · 1 pointr/photography
  1. Thank you so much for your suggestion! question: I've seen these talked about, what are your thoughts? Also it's cheaper.

  2. Riight, the fujifilm kit lens I have goes down to 2.8f at best, and I kept finding my shots to be grainy, or just not pulling light in Perhaps I was just overcompensating with ISO, and not trusting that it would turn out okay in post production?? Also, are a lot of night sky shots people take composite images? Like one for just the sky and one for the ground/horizon?

  3. Cheers :) The photocritique subreddit just seems to be the same top comment every time 'where is your subject' 'where are the lines pointing to'

    4+5. I see. Great. Thank you so much for your answer!
u/DaMuffinPirate · 1 pointr/photography

A Gorillapod could probably fit in your bag and it's just about your budget. The one I'm looking at on Amazon costs about $50 with a ballhead. A little bit short though at ~12 in tall.

u/doggexbay · 1 pointr/Filmmakers

You might find this useful. Depending on your needs, a Gorilla Pod might cover more bases than a traditional tripod. I can't tell you anything about this model, but it seems to be well-reviewed by Amazon customers.

u/AutomatorXV · 1 pointr/photography

Buy the nicer remote, it's not that much more expensive, and you get backlight, timer, intervalometer, and a shot counter. It'll help you with those night shots, as you easily can do multiple long exposures to stack. In addition, I would recommend something like this wireless remote, they're cheap and much easier to use!

I got these in Coromandel with just single long exposures, but ended up with a ton of noise, so I would highly recommend stacking, and for stacking you need a stable tripod that you don't mind getting sandy.

The gorillapod will be good, since it's light and you can pose your camera on rocks and sand. Though, I would recommend a ball head:

GorillaPod w/ ballhead and spirit level or

GorillaPod w/ ballhead and level Red

I don't own a gorillapod, so I'm not sure what the different between these is, so I don't know why the red one is cheaper, but that's the kind of thing you want. Without the ball head, angling the camera is a pain. I had this shitty extendable travel tripod, and it fell over if I tried to point it straight up, even when I wedged it in the sand.

Your lens should be decent, while not the sharpest, you'll enjoy the long reach. The Tamron doesn't look chunky, so if you don't mind the image quality, it'll be good for climbing around.

Most importantly bring good waterproof hiking boots and a head lamp, they'll make your life significantly easier!

Where all are you planning on traveling?

u/acupofteak · 1 pointr/Surface

Cellos represent! Play bass now though. EDIT: I'm blind. Also I don't really recognize the piece, what is it?

This is also part of the reason why i got one of this tablet mount (usually around $20), for use with my Gorillapod and other tripod-based mounting solutions means I can set up shop anywhere, anytime.

Probably cheaper to get a standard clamp + flexible arm mount, but I like multipurpose modularity.

u/foamyfrog · 1 pointr/JapanTravel

The GorillaPod SLR Zoom can support a camera and lens up to 6lbs. I just recently got one on sale and it seems like it lives up to that weight rating. I'm considering leaving behind my travel tripod on my trip just to save myself the weight and hassle.

u/_soulcrusher · 1 pointr/OpTicGaming

It's just a gorillapod made by Jobi. They have a couple different models, depending on the size of your camera, how much weight you want it to hold, and what type of head you want on it. This is probably the one they use, but you could look at the graph on the page that shows the different sizes and whatnot.

Joby Gorilla Pod. There's various models but the best one will hold an 11lb camera. That one is ~$100usd but there are cheaper options.
