Approaching The Scene 270: Tripod Maintenance Tips + Cool New Claws & Spikes
(LINKS BELOW): After running our Oregon Coast workshop this year, I realized most photographers could use a little lesson on keeping their tripods in tip top shape when working in rough conditions. This video covers that as well as providing some tips to work more efficiently with your tripod. I also announce some cool new tripod feet available in our store and explain why and how you’d want to use them.
