1.1.7 Selection of tripod

Standard 1/4 inch tapped hole is at the bottom of Insta360 Pro. The camera supports the combination with a tripod, stabilized holder, drone and vehicle sucker, among which tripod is the most frequently used in many scenes. Usually, in order to avoid shooting photographer and shooting content with certain vertical angles, we must require a tripod to assist especially during the night, sunrise, sunset and in weak light environments, or we need to shoot with a long exposure, delay, etc. , in which cases, one cannot hold cameras. Here are suggestions for choosing a tripod matching Pro.

1. Mounting point on the tripod holder has two types: 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch. The tripod with 1/4 inch tapped hole can match with the Pro. Most SLR cameras and some camera tripods are of the size, so you have a wide range of choices for tripods on the market.
   
   
2. When choosing a tripod, one should first consider whether it is stable, and try to choose a professional brand or have a try personally to select a suitable one.
   
   
3. Panoramic video always simulates a first-person point of view. The distance of Pro base to lens is about12 cm, so please select tripod with a height above 160 cm.
   
   
4. Panorama video also needs bottom stitching. It’s not recommended using a tripod with direction adjusting handle.
   
   
5. When shooting scenery, a single unipod can be a best-fit. Unipod occupies a much smaller area than a tripod, which is easier to erase in post editing. In panoramic videos, if we look down at our feet, we often find that there is a place that is unnatural or covered with LOGO of the producer, which actually hides the unipod position.
   
   
6. If the subject is mainly recording activity or there are many uncontrollable people on the scene, a tripod which is more stable should be chosen to avoid person collision and camera damage.
