How to Choose a Tripod Mount Ring
Whether you are out at the lake mountain, or in the forest taking gorgeous nature photos, it is important to ensure your tripod is well supported when shooting from the ground. Here are some tripod mount ring options for you to choose from.
Tripod mounts come in several shapes and sizes. The most common shape for the tripod mounts is the tripod ring. This is just a simple basic fitting, with a ¼-inch threaded, similar to that used by many makers of tripod accessories. There are also tripod rings that have a threaded end as well as a threaded center. You can even find a tripod ring that has a threaded bottom piece, but this is not a common shape.
The tripod ring is usually made of stainless steel, but they can also be found in titanium. You may find them at an outdoor store, as well as online, where you can select from many different sizes and colors. There are some manufacturers that make custom designed tripod mounts, so you may need to ask your retailer if this option is available to you.
When buying a tripod ring, it is important to consider which part of the ring will attach to the tripod. Usually the center of the ring is used for most tripod accessories, as it is usually the thickest and most resilient part of the ring. However, other manufacturers make ring that have different attachment points on the sides or the bottom, so these are typically considered optional accessories.
For those who want a little more added security when using their tripod, a tripod mount ring is also available with a locking device. These locking rings lock the ring in place, so you don't have to worry about the ring coming loose while your camera is in your hand. However, this type of ring is often more expensive than standard rings.
Whatever shape or size you choose, a tripod mount ring is a great way to securely secure your tripod to a sturdy surface. No matter which type of tripod mount ring you choose, you will feel confident that your tripod is well supported while in use. It will also protect your camera from any possible damage, such as a fall or impact from another object.
There are several places you can find a tripod mount ring. One way to find a tripod ring is through the Internet. Many stores that sell cameras and accessories also have a wide range of tripod accessories, including mounting rings.
Another way to find a tripod mount ring is through a dealer who sells digital SLR cameras. Digital SLR dealers have a good selection of tripod mounts, including those that have locking devices to prevent the ring from moving while you're carrying your camera. Some dealers even have special rings designed specifically for certain types of camera models.
