What makes a twist lock tripod so unique?
One possibly unique feature is that the leg locks have a secondary
locking system that prevents you from loosening the locks and
completely removing a leg section. Many photographers new to
twist-locks often have anxiety filled moments when they accidently
disassemble the tripod while trying to extend it!
The Tripod Feet
The feet probably suffer the most wear and tear of all the tripod
components. Some tripods offer replaceable feet. This way if
anything does happen to the feet you can just replace them with out
having to replace the whole tripod. There are also optional feet
covers available for indoor use. When steel tips become more of a
hazard than a help. The covers provide a good slip resistant base
for the tripod. And, as most land surveyors know, the feet need to
be strong for pushing into the ground to get a stable set-up.
>The Clamps
On a surveying tripod, the clamps hold the legs in place when they
are extended.
Quick Clamp Tripods - can be set quickly. Simply extend the legs to the desired height
and flip the lever. This will lock the legs in place. Some
surveyors prefer not to use the quick clamps because if something
accidentally catches the lever it could unintentionally unlock the
clamp. Quick clamps do feature a bolt to adjust how tight the clamp
will lock. Quick clamp tripods are great if your work requires
frequent and multiple set ups.
Screw Clamp Tripods - To use a screw clamp set the tripod to the desired height and
hand-tighten the screws to the desired tension. The screw can be
located on the center or on the side of the clamp. Screw clamps
take a little longer to set up but cannot be accidentally unlocked
easily, which helps protect heavier surveying instruments from a
collapsing tripod. We also recommend screw clamp tripods when the
user plans to use heavier instruments like robotics, total
stations, or GPS equipment since the screw clamps get tighter and
theres less chance of a clamp slipping loose and causing a tripod
to fall over damaging the instrument.
