Camera Tripod

I just recently purchased a Promaster 7400 Tripod. I didn't want to break the bank on a tripod, I also didn't want my camera flopping over and smashing on the ground. The 7400 tripod from promaster has a sturdy feel to it yet not to heavy. I can take this tripod for a walk and not feel like I,m lugging around a hefty elephant of a tripod. The legs are 27 mm and the height maxes out at 70". The feet on the legs have spikes on them and can be exposed by twisting clockwise and can be retracted twisting counter-clockwise. There is a 3-way metal pan head with a quick release platform. Its very smooth and easy to operate. There are also a couple levels, one mounted to the tripod and one on the head to make sure your shots are positioned correctly. Overall this is a great quality starter tripod! hit me up with any questions you may have.

Here are some specs:

Maximum working Height: 70"

Minimum Working Height: 26 1/2"

Maximum Load: 11 lbs. / 5kg

Folded Height: 27 7/8"

Leg Diameter: 27mm

Weight: 3lbs. 15 oz.

Retail is $130.00

Promasters HGX CPL Filter

I just recently purchased a Promaster HGX circular polarized filter. The reason for my purchase.....I wanted to get that awesome blue sky I see in every professionals landscape photo!!! The circular polarized filter only allows certain light rays through and cuts down on reflection of light rays on surfaces such as water and glass. This filter makes blue skies look bluer and provides better contrast for colors in general. Here is an example of a photo that I took using the CPL Filter. This is a picture of Kim at Kezar Lake Maine.
