Digital camera reviews of Velbon DF-40 Deluxe Lightweight Photo/Video Tripod with 3-Way Panhead and Quick Release Shoe
Digital camera Review: 1 major thing missing - portrait orientation
Summary: 2 Stars
What I Like: Great height. Seems stable. Easy to extend legs.
What I Don't Like: Cannot adjust camera to be in portrait orientation. There is no locking mechanism to keep the camera in this position. You can have the camera in landscape orientation and have about 5-10 degrees of rotation in either direction. More than that and the camera falls over BEYOND what would be a portrait orientation. Your only option is to turn the camera as far as it will go and have a very crooked portrait orientation or to use a few twist ties to hold the camera in a level portrait orientation. Also was not thrilled that there are no accompanying instructions or user manual and no carrying case. I am also not convinced it is 2 lbs. Feels closer to five which is not that bad but because it is a bit bulky even folded up, it can be combersome to carry. And lastly, I assumed the bubble level would tell me if my camera was level; instead it tells me if my tripod legs are level, which is independent of the camera positioning adjustments.
