Sony Tripods and Monopods

Benefits and features of Sony tripods and monopods

Sony tripods, such as the VCT-R100, are designed to provide strength, durability and stability to firmly hold up your mounted camera. Sony tripods are typically constructed from aluminium, which provides long term durability to support your Sony camera . This material is also able to withstand a variety of environmental conditions, which makes it ideal for year round outdoor use, whether exposed to strong sunlight, wind, rain or other conditions.

Sony tripods typically feature a 3-way pan head. This pan capability gives you great flexibility in the camera angles available to you and enables you to manoeuvre your digital camera with great precision. It also has a secure fastening mechanism for securing the camera in a particular position. These panning options include tilting the camera up and down, tilting sideways, as well as side to side panning. This flexibility also allows you to effectively capture objects that move quickly across the camera's field of view.

Sony tripods and monopods are ideal for storing and transporting. They are lightweight pieces of equipment with many tripods and monopods weighing under 700 grams. This makes the tripod easy to pick up and carry. Both types of camera stands are able to collapse down by the leg extensions folding inside themselves, which makes their carrying size as minimal as possible. For example, many Sony tripods feature a maximum working height of less than 40 inches and a folded height of less than 15 inches.

However, the lightweight nature of Sony's camera stands doesn't negate their strength as they are able to support camera weights of up to 1.2kg, making it ideal for both compact cameras and much larger digital SLRs.
