We had our equipment recommendation for a travel tri-pod, which we suggested the Benro Travel Angel Tri-pod. This tri-pod is amazing for hiking, traveling, and using your tri-pod “in the wild”. But, now we are turning the corner to the tri-pod of all tri-pods, the Slik AMT Pro 700DX! Sounds like a super robot in its name and maybe resembles a robot in its strong build, but it is mostly just an amazingly built, constructed, and stable tri-pod. These adjectives for a tri-pod are all ideal, especially because you are stepping away from your expensive camera and giving your trust in this tri-pod to securely hold it. Of course, we all know a tri-pod is a necessity in your photography arsenal because it creates a stable hold when your own body and arm strength are not steady enough, or when you want to get in the photo also. Tri-pods are great when using slow shutter speed and trying to capture those slow changes without the shake of your own hand. The Slik AMT Pro 700DX is that incredibly strong and stable tri-pod that you will have forever and this may be an over exaggeration, but I mean for a very very very long time.
