The Optera 460- the snake-like tripod
Thursday, June 25th, 2009
The Optera 460 is an interesting tripod that holds up heavy lens at the same level as the camera. If you’ve ever owned a large lens, then you know that when the camera is attached to the tripod, the lens tends to ever so slightly go with the flow of gravity due to uneven weight distribution. The legs of the tripod are non-extendable and one leg is much longer than the others. This snake-like tripod will help the downward tilt problem when you bend the longer extension (at many different angles) to hold up the lens. This tripod doesn’t come very cheap pricing at around 70 bucks, but if your lens are near and dear to your heart, then this tripod will be sure to keep them protected.
