Because even the average IBIS on the a7c allows you to consistently take sharp handheld 0.5-1s exposures with a 50mm if your technique is anything better than sloppy and you can manage not to sway back and forth while standing, and digital cameras have such enormous ISO ranges compared to film that the only people who still need tripods are using telescopes, shooting self portraits, or doing long exposure photography.

what is this exactly supposed to do if i wanna be quick about it?

bro forgot to turn off his projector
watch out ur bulb is gonna burn out

>>4390950
Let's see it.

>>4390943
Tripods and base iso go hand in hand. Something so satisfying about going into mirror up mode, setting a shutter delay to further minimize vibration, then taking the shot at tiny aperture low iso. So cash opening up the RAWs later and enjoying the massive depth of field, dynamic range, and color depth you get. High iso is and has always been a compromise.

Lately I've been thinking about trying to simulate ultra low ISOs with frame averaging and one of these. In fact with a crop sensor you could get full frame or MF-levels of noise (and sharpness in theory?). Might be useful for landscapes or high contrast shots like sunset.

>you can just buy a 1000 dollar camera body so that you can maybe get a 1 second exposure instead of buying a tripod for 20 dollars where you can get as many seconds as you like.
???

>>4390950
>sharp handheld 1 second
The average person can easily do this with no ibis at 50mm, longer if you crouch or lean against something

>>4391003
20 dollar tripod is not holding your camera still.

>>4391005
Do you have an example?

>>4391008
OP post on /RPT/ is handheld, and its at 300mm, though I was crouched.

>20 dollar tripod is not holding your camera still.
Seeing as tripods become instantly valueless as soon as you buy them, you can easily get an ultra high end tripod for that price. They are absolutely everywhere.

>>4391009
Well, a tripod would have let you stop down to get more than 3mm of frog in focus for your selective color slop.

>>4391011
>w-w-well OKAY fine but its still bad
If it wanted to stop it down I would have, its a 300 f/2.8 and im going to shoot it wide open no matter what. I can hold a camera steady with no issues really. I thought being able to hold the camera was part of the basics but apparently not.

>>4391009
>.3s
I guess it passes because it's 300mm.

>20 dollar tripod
If your camera is under 5lbs you may be able to get something okay, but an ultra high end carbon fiber tripod is definitely not 20 smackers.

>>4391014
NTA anon but I bought a tripod for what I think would be around 90 USD that would have been around 900 USD new. Im sure you could get a 300 dollar new one for like 20.

>>4391012
>im going to shoot it wide open no matter what
Well that's dumb... composition works on all 3 axes; DoF is part of the equation.

>>4391017
Yea but that close @ 300mm, even if I went f/8 there would still be heaps of blur. Might as well commit. If I wanted more DOF I would have just used another lens.

What's a good basic tripod under $70? My current $20 is no longer staying level.

>>4391016
Nice score. What kind you get?

>>4391019
Apparently you should just buy used. You should be able to get a used carbon fiber gitzo for that price.

>>4391021
Miller air fluid head with manfrotto 475b geared legs

>>4391018
To each his own... I don't like seeing the entire focal plane as a flat line like that. I have 105, 70-200, 300, and 400 f/2.8 on FF and stopping down to f/4 would make a huge difference with all of them.

Tripods and monopods have their uses but both are both shit for my needs. I may use one every 2 or 3 years and even then I usually end up handholding for my favourite shots.

I nearly never use my tripod any more except for night photography and long exposures. It's too annoying to carry on a trail, and sensors nowadays are good enough for handheld in 95% of situations.
Plus I've noticed that using a tripod, I get much less creative because I essentially stay in the same spot for longer to avoid doing the setup all over again. I also try more unusual angles without a tripod.

>everyone on /p/ is insisting they never use or need tripods
>everyone on /p/ most posts boring snapshits
Much to consider

>>4391038
I'd gladly pit my 50 favourite shots against yours.

I was going to disagree but then i realized the anon that mogged at least one trip was actually cANON!!5d

The worse trips post photos from another device to spare their content from their trips bans

>>4391046
>more well poisoning cope
Nobody is ever going to believe you post good photos, cANON. Make up as many dumb stories as you want nobody believes them. You're a snapshitter who is too cowardly to attach his name to his work lmao.
>muhh ban
>muhh secret good photos
>muhh mog
If you put this much effort into taking a photo maybe you'd have one you felt comfortable posting instead of being a bitchboy.

Very true OP.
If anyone wants an affordable tripod rec, this is a pretty good substitute for the peak design travel tripod IMO: https://www.smallrig.com/SmallRig-Lightweight-Travel-Tripod-AP-01-3987.html

I've almost bought the AP-01 but changed it at the last minute for the AP-100.
It's been an okay tripod for the past year but I only shoot 35mm and don't want/need anything heavier in the future.

I asked for this beefy thing for christmas. currently using some shitty magnus tripod that cost me like $50. picked up an L bracket and a geared head so just gotta hope my gf delivers

>Yet, it's ignored by noobs and seasoned hobbyists somehow.

mainly because of the cost vs perceived usefulness, it really is the final boss of GAS that some people never get to (or need to depending what they shoot).

>>4390943
All it really does is starry skies and blurry water and it totally ruins your day by turning every trip into a photography trip.

IBIS completely obsoleted it otherwise

Sounds awfully gearfaggy. Just buy a camera with IBIS and leave the blob in the studio.

>>4396337
>accuses other of gearfagging
>next sentence recommends buying two cameras- one for indoors and the other for outdoors
???

>>4396349
Gearfagging isn’t about money. It’s about being in love with your gear. Don’t buy two cameras, buy one and let the blob collect dust until some hipster buys it.

An artist hates gear and wants less of it. Even if temporarily having more of it is how that’s accomplished.

>>4390950
I've managed to get really sharp photos at .5" handheld and sitting down.

>>4391005
Absolutely not

>>4390943
I ain’t walking around carrying that fucking thing. No way. If you need to stabilize a shot just grab a tree or set it on a rock, or if you’re a city person, why don’t you put some of those corners of buildings you’re all so enamored with to use? I mean jfc it’s not hard,

>>4396351
>It’s about being in love with your gear.
Wrong. It's about harbouring strong emotions towards gear. You are a gearfaggot, and a particularly obnoxious type at that. It should be a tool, nothing more and nothing less. If you're angry at "having dragged all that weight for nothing, because there was nothing worthwhile to shoot", go ahead and get a P&S or whatever suits you more. If carrying "heavy" gear "for nothing" does not bother you, good for you too.
You, however, sound like the type of retard to seethe at people for using the "wrong OS" because the one you use is obviously the correct choice and everyone else is dumb and stupid.

>>4390943
Fantastic piece of kit. Also love sturdy mini tripods.

>>4396393
no if you’re a big dweeb with a d850, a tripod, a giant zoom, and a purse full of filters to take a photo of a tree you are a gearfag. its cringe, you look autistic, and everyone despises being near you. women instantly realize you are a creep. men tell you to keep it pointed away from their children or else. your only out is to dress as a survey worker.

someone who whips out their om5 and snaps is not a gearfag even if they used to be and they’re putting their d850 on ebay tonight, and especially not if they harbor that instant sense of disgust towards d850 autists

why are all GWACs like this?

I'm thinking of buying this chinkshit tripod for my telescope and night / astro photography. Think it'll be stable enough with the centre column down? Or should I spend $40 more for a 32mm one?
