Announcement of New Sunwayfoto Carbon Fiber Tripod Lines and Models

We can call this a major event for Sunwayfoto since after many delays and postponements, Sunwayfoto finally announced on April 15, the release of not one but seven (7) new tripod models in four (4) different series.

It has been 6 years since the release of their first two full sized carbon fiber models the T1C40T Carbon Fiber Traveller and the T2C40C Carbon Fiber Classic. 
In the meantime, about the end of 2019 there were a couple of attempts to introduce improved models like the T2C42C Carbon Fiber Classic, and a new series T2C40N Carbon Fiber without Column, but Covid restrictions had set back production and transports all over the world.

Introduction

Starting I want to mention that Sunwayfoto has sent me a sample of their brand new tripod, model T2C42C Classic carbon fiber, which replaces Sunwayfoto T2C40C Carbon Fiber Classic.
To get an idea of what improvements the new model has, although I did not have the previous one for testing,  is from what I can see from Sunwayfoto’s website and internal information;

SUNWAYFOTO T1A20D Aluminum Tripod and XB-28 Low Profile ball head video

An artistic approach in the usually common presentations of camera gear surely makes a difference.
The Sunwayfoto T1A20D Aluminum tabletop tripod is shown in this video combined with the mighty little XB-28 Low Profile ball head.

Sunwayfoto T1A11 II Mini Aluminium Tabletop Tripod Preview

Superseding the Sunwayfoto T1A11 Aluminum Table Top Tripod released only a few months ago, Sunwayfoto introduced an updated Mk II version of the T1A11 aluminum tabletop mini tripod adding some very interesting and versatile features after public demand.

Announcement of Hejnar Photo Video Rover - Preview

For sure Chris Hejnar was restless during August as he was playing with small carts beside his other new products. This small cart, however is Hejnar Photo's answer for an inexpensive video Rover with adjustable wheel angles.

Sunwayfoto T1A20D 2 Section Aluminium Tabletop Tripod Preview

The Sunwayfoto T1A20D is now a few months with us but somehow it escaped my attention until I realized its features are very novel and innovative.
This T1A20D aluminum tabletop or more appropriately desktop according to the "D" at the end of the model name, is far smaller and lighter than the original T1A20 tripod, but shares the 2 section and aluminium features which give it the name post probably.

Another product coming out in August from Sunwayfoto to prove that summer is not a dead period. This is their T1A11 aluminum tabletop mini tripod that is smaller and lighter than an iPhone® 7 plus.

Stainless Steel Spike Feet now Available for Hejnar PHOTO Table Pod

Latest news coming from Hejnar Photo is the announcement of their set of adjustable Stainless Steel Feet for their Updated Table-Pod TP-002 Macro Ball Head Base which we have seen a couple of months ago.

Hejnar PHOTO Table Pod now Available as Set with Ball Head and Clamp

Updated Table-Pod TP-002 Macro Ball Head Base from Hejnar Photo

Hejnar Photo Table-Pod TP-001 Macro Ball Head Base introduced last year has undergone some minor but crucial improvement in order to increase its stability when using longer lenses.

New Desmond IMP Mini Tripod Kit Released

Everybody knows by now that Desmond strives for releasing best value for money products, meaning a very decent quality at a very low budget. But this time I had to ask twice to confirm that the price of their new IMP Mini tabletop tripod was correct.

New Table-Pod TP-001 Macro Ball Head Base from Hejnar Photo

It's now the turn of Hejnar Photo to touch the world of pods, the tetra-pods in particular, as they have recently introduced a small flat table-top base for ball heads, called Table-Pod.

Announcement of Restructured and Updated Desmond Website

A new breeze of change blew throughout the Desmond Photographic Distributors website recently, with quite some improvement, new features and nonetheless new products.

New Flat-Pod Idea of a Tabletop Ball Head Base from Desmond

Sometimes when heavy photographic gear are involved, small tabletop pods do not offer good enough support for low level shooting. That becomes very apparent when a heavy camera / lens combination needs to be tilted forward or backward.

A Full Series of Video Bowl Risers available from Desmond

DV Head leveling via half balls, either directly attached at the bottom of a fluid DV head or as an addendum to a flat based DV head, is common sense to videographers.

Large Video Tripods equipped with 75 or 100 mm bowls are a must to operate this heads. Nonetheless, in the recent years more and more Systematic carbon fibre tripods in circulation feature a Video Bowl as an option.

So far so good.
What if we don't have either? Or if the situation does not permit / allow for a large Video and/or Systematic tripod?

Then the use of a Hi-Hat could come in rescue.
But still if even a Hi-Hat is too much?
