Should I Choose Carbon Fiber or Aluminum?
Choosing a Tripod Material is all dependent on your level of comfort and what you're looking for during a shoot. We've listed the benefits of each below in hopes that this helps point you in the right direction.
Carbon Fiber: Lighter, easier to transport, and reduces fatigue during long production days.
Aluminum: More affordable, extremely durable, and excellent for studio or fixed-location productions.
What Bowl Size Do I Need?
Bowl Size depends on your setup and camera usage. We've gone ahead and listed the different bowl sizes and what they're usually supporting.
75mm Bowl: Mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, compact cinema cameras
