![]() ![]() What is my favorite tripod of them all? Well, I have more than one favorite, and we’ll get to that next, but the Slik Pro AMT 700DX is definitely one of my all-time favorite tripods. I have probably tested and/or broken at least one or two of every budget (and mid-priced) brand of DSLR tripod that is commonly recommended. Personally, I have been testing tripods (and, I’ll be honest, often breaking them) for about 15 years now. Strangely enough, despite the fact that most photographers don’t seem to care enough to invest in a high-end tripod, everybody loves to give advice whenever someone asks for recommendations in an online group, etc.Įvery single time the question “what is a good tripod?” gets asked, literally every single tripod brand on the market will get a recommendation. Ironically, most of the time it’s the tripod which has the greatest impact on the sharpness of your images – not the lens or the sensor! Unfortunately, tripods also seem to be one of those unglamorous accessories that nobody wants to spend much money on, compared to exciting gear such as lenses and bodies. One of the most important tools for landscape and nightscape photography (among many other genres) is a sturdy tripod. This Slik tripod extends to a full 74.8 inches, enabling you to get high shots and shoot over tall grasses or bushes when engaging in nature photography.This is a guest review of the Slik 700DX by landscape and nightscape photographer Matt Saville.

The upper parts of the legs have foam padding, making it comfortable to carry the tripod once it is folded. With dual alignment grooves on the legs, you will be able to quickly reset the tripod head for the perfect angle. The locks are quick release, enabling you to hurriedly move your camera and tripod, to track and center a shot or setup at a different location. The 3-way leg angle locks let you lock the Slik tripod in position, so you don’t experience accidental spin or tilt when taking a photo or video.
