Video tripods for heavy lenses? I am very curious if the standard video tripod, with legs made up of several carbon tubes would work just as well for stills. I can believe it would be more heavy, but would it be more stable and stronger? If I’m buying a carbon tripod used, is there any reason to not consider these? submitted by /u/Seeking_Sooth

I waste so much time with this “setup.” How can it be better but efficient? I take a photo on my phone, adjust the hell out of the white balance to get as perfect of a solid white background as possible using the phone’s camera app, upload it to my site to usually find it’s not perfectly solid white. Repeat usually 4+ times until I get it right. Ideally I would like to turn this into a 1 photo affair with quick uploadi…

Good first cameras, that are prefferably portable? Hi, I have absolutely no idea what to look for when choosing a camera. I’ve always liked taking photos of anything, any chance I can, but the capabilities of my iPhone 12 are just not doing it for me anymore.
