Universal Clamp Mount for Tripods (from DealExtreme)

Universal Clamp Mount for Tripods (from DealExtreme) Tube. Duration : 1.57 Mins.


Universal Clamp Mount for Tripods (Holds up to 3.8cm Thick Objects) ,90 www.dealextreme.com Free shipping! Use this for things like lasers, flashlights, or whatever you want. The tripod i used is a .49 flexible metal 4 inch one. You can buy it from DX too, here: www.dealextreme.com That tripod would be suitable for things like lasers and flashlights, but if you want to use heavier objects, get a better tripod. To prevent misunderstandings: No, the green laser doesnt stay on when you press the button ONCE, you have to HOLD the button. Why it stays on in the video? Well, i just positioned the laser in the clamp, so that the button would be pressed by the clamp. Works like a charm.

Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod

Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod Video Clips. Duration : 1.30 Mins.


Newly redesigned, the 190XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. Now, by extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved.
