Youtube review of the shooting tripod HT2830CS by Andrew Shaw
Andrew has been reviewing quite many Sunwayfoto tripods, and he only had improvement suggestion on the very first model, ever since after that, all the tripods proved to be his choice for either hunting or competition, saying they are best price, best design and best ingenuity!
The latest HT2830CS carbon fiber tripod for hunting as well is one affordable, lightweight and versatile tripod to go for both applications of hunting and competition.
In addition to the original very popular T2830CS, the HT2830CS features new designs of a different angle lock latch as well as very innovative tripod feet system. Users will hold the angle lock latch to adjust for different shooting angles very easily.
Two-in-one tripod feet, original rubber feet for indoor shooting or on smooth surfaces ensure stability and protect from scratches. By simply turning the rubber feet upwards for stainless steel spikes for outdoor shooting on soft ground or sand, provide better grip. This design effectively prevents the issue of losing tripod foot by accident.
This shooting tripod comes with a duo-lever clamp, offering two ways of tightening by lever-release and screw-knob provide quick locking and fine tuning.
Besides the added new features, the traditional embedded ballhead design ensures low center of gravity which provides better stability in shooting. The lever lock design also ensures swift locking and easy operation. 30mm ball diameter and 35 degrees tilting angle, effectively prevents the tripod from side tumbling due to over loaded equipment.
Light-weight and strong carbon fiber material leg tubes, the friction tube shims between leg sections are as long as 40mm, maximizing isolation and mainly rigidity of the joints of fully extended legs. Leg tube diameters of 28/25/22mm respectively ensuring stable support. Max tripod height reaches 147cm. and min height of only 11cm ground level,. This shooting tripod serves great as an excellent entry level and versatile tripod kit to begin with for your shooting tasks.
Folded length of the tripod is 68cm with a folded diameter of only 10.4mm, very easily carried on the road. With the tripod stored in the tripod bag comes in the package.
1/4-20 threaded socket reserved at the base of the tripod apex for installing counterweight hook, magic arm or other accessories when needed.
There is the TC-02 stainless steel counterweight hook recommended at the end of the video too.
This universal tripod hook with 1/4 thread is all metal material of S304 stainless steel, very strong and durable, resistant to impact and vibration.
Built-in high-strength spring automatically adjusts the hook tension when mounting items of different weights, ensuring the stability of the tripod and making it easy to mount and remove items.
The hook rotates in 360° to avoid interference with leg tubes. Uses a hex wrench to further tighten and lock the hook.
Widely compatible with tripods which have a 1/4-20 mounting socket at the base, like our T2830CS, T2830CSL and HT2830CS.
