The original innovator carbon fiber camera tripod cost-effective choice: Fotopro Futuobao C-4C unpacking experience

Carbon fiber is a dual-purpose high-tech material for both military and civilian use. The advantage is not to mention. What needs to be specifically mentioned is that such Western materials that were embargoed against China in the 1960s and 1970s have been led by the national military and have matured in China. The industrialization, especially civil-grade T800 carbon fiber materials can be comparable to even Japanese products of the same type. The cost of manufacturing can also be greatly reduced. After breaking the foreign monopoly, it benefits all walks of life. The biggest impact on the field of video equipment is the tripod. At the same time, the price of carbon fiber tripods has been continuously reduced, and it has begun to harden its resistance to traditional aluminum alloys.

Reasons to purchase

Has always been very amateur, I feel that the tripod is a professional player's equipment, but also lazy, go out with a SLR are too tired, but recently due to work reasons often have to shoot still life, hit the idea of ​​buying a foot, budget 500 ~1000, did not intend to buy foreign brands, there are a few good friends with a large number of Gitzo or Manfrotto, I said quite understandable, because I think this stuff is not technical content, ah, the actual play Thanks to Jiayou's excellent materials, reasonable design, and good damping, it is almost impossible to find any points. What is the point of a penny and goods? However, I still feel that the premium is too high. This may be a loss of life. I would like to err on the side of it. So I'm going to choose one of them between Si Rui E1005A and Banno it15. In the entanglement, I seem to have finally chosen Benro, and then I fell asleep with my dear cell phone... The next morning I remembered forgetting to place an order. I lit my cell phone and opened Jingdong again. Because the day was a New Year's Eve promotion, there was an event page that was pushed. Futuobao's carbon fiber leg stands for a half-price promotion. Half-price carbon fiber, my heart shivered, so the order was placed after 5 minutes, and I got this tripod in the afternoon of the same day, once again interpreting impulse consumption as What's happening.

Appearance Gallery

On the packaging, a box with a similar size to the tripod is used. The attachment is mainly a portable bag. The tripod is actually a purely mechanical product and has no electronic components. Therefore, it is normal that the accessories are not abundant.

The instruction manual and the warranty card certificate are all contained in a snap-on matte bag and two hexagonal wrenches of different sizes to facilitate the user's own dismantling and maintenance.

The main body of the tripod can be folded back 180 degrees to control the size of the smallest form, the length is 39.5cm, can be considered a relatively good size, the weight is controlled by the 1.12KG carbon fiber material is also very ideal.

According to official data, the maximum weight of the tripod is 8KG. Although it is not too much, considering the weight of 1.12KG, it can be said to be quite good. The leg pipe has a four-section structure, and if it contains a head, the maximum height is 1.46 meters. This is enough for most people. Of course, if you are taller than 190cm, you may need to bend over a bit more. You may have a better experience if you choose a higher foot stand.

In PTZ, the model FPH-53P, fool type single-knob locking operation, the convenience of the three-way level instrument is good, in some uneven road conditions, you can quickly adjust the shooting angle, improve shooting efficiency, reduce the trouble of late correction, In general, the pantograph has a good sense of damping, and it is also very convenient to disassemble the quick release plate. Moreover, the non-slip screws on the quick-fit plate can prevent the camera from falling after unlocking the quick release plate.

There is also a level meter on the quick-release plate locking knob. This level meter is used to calibrate the horizontality when shooting vertically, and the dial below the pan-tilt is to control the rotation angle when shooting panoramic mosaic pictures. Yes, horizontal rotation without a separate locking knob is inconvenient.

Although the foot tube is made of carbon fiber, but the connector locking device is still used in the traditional aluminum alloy material, the advantage is that the deformation coefficient is small, and the solidity and corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance are more convenient mechanical performance is excellent, the tripod and PTZ are After anodized surface treatment process.

The 3 card design fixtures provide 3 different opening and closing angles, and the opening and closing damping is very good, and the operation of the quick adjustment button is also very good. The black knob can be used to further lock the center axis and prevent accidental slippage on the basis of quick locking of the middle shaft.

When the tripod is shot outdoors, in order to capture some scenes or moving objects that will disappear soon, you often need to open the tripod or quickly adjust the height of the tripod. When the adjustment range of the shaft cannot be satisfied, the adjustment rod is the only one. The efficiency of unlocking one by one and then adjusting and then locking is very low. In order to improve efficiency, this kind of fixing device that can quickly unlock the locking by only rotating 1/4 is very practical, and the actual experience is indeed satisfactory. And the stability after locking is also good.

In order to ensure that there will be no catastrophic consequences of locking down the tripped tripod during use, the tripod's leg locking device uses a "triple locking system". When locked, the three locking pads act simultaneously, Provide better bearing capacity and stability. This kind of locking system comes from Futubao's own patented design.

experience feelings

This is the end of the boxing experience, as an entry-level carbon fiber tripod, this tripod is designed to be more portable, regardless of the size of the refraction less than 40 cm, or 1.12kg The ultra-light weight makes the carrying experience a better experience. Even female users can easily carry it. In addition to the portable advantages of carbon fiber, it also has good performance in terms of load-bearing capacity and stability. It has a 1/4-turn locking lock. The device not only guarantees the deployment efficiency but also does not compromise on the bearing and stability, and improves the "movement" of outdoor shooting. In addition, the inversion of the center axis is also a bright spot, and the carbon fiber leg of the 8-layer cross structure greatly improves torsional rigidity and shock absorption, and the colorful design also provides more personalized options. Judging from the development trend, the price of carbon fiber tripods has come to a very attractive and mature state. Whether or not it will replace aluminum alloys will not be known in the future. However, such trends should intensify.

to sum up

advantage:

Light, very light.

Small size, easy to put into the bag.

The quarter-turn quick-locking device has a good performance in the deployment speed and the storage speed.

The stability is good, and the accuracy and shock resistance of the tripod are all very good.

When looking at the price of the event, the price/performance ratio is still very high.

PTZ's 3-way spirit level is practical.


Disadvantages:

Without a separate horizontal rotation lock knob, it is inconvenient to take panoramic stitching shots.

The lock of the middle shaft always feels that the lock is not secure enough. Although there is a secondary tightening of the hand screw, it is believed that the manufacturer can further optimize the stability of the quick lock.

The two-stage design of the shaft can be easily removed when the center shaft is inverted. However, I don't know if the factory is using a special tool to tighten it too tightly. I just can't screw it off. It's only rarely used. This feature.

Many rubber feet at the end of the tripod can be removed and turned into spikes. This does not seem to have this function.

It seems to be gone. The overall situation is still very satisfactory.
