Nevertheless, an ambitious photographer or filmmaker cannot do without a high-quality tripod. It ensures that optimal image quality can be achieved even in low light and also enables blur-free long exposures and videos. In this category you will find high-quality Rollei tripods. But which tripod is the right one for you? This question cannot be answered in a general way. Depending on the intended use, different camera tripods come into question. Basically, the following types can be distinguished:
If you are unsure which Rollei tripod is ideal for you and what you should look out for when buying, it is best to read on in the lower section of this category. There we have compiled many useful tips on buying a tripod to make your choice easier. In addition, we present the most popular tripods from Rollei in more detail.
A tripod ensures maximum freedom when selecting aperture and exposure time. You can choose the optimal frame at your leisure and then fix the camera while, for example, changing the subject composition once again. Tripods are particularly useful when long exposure times are required - for example at night, at twilight or for depicting flowing movements.
The manufacturer Rollei offers you many different tripods - ranging from the popular tripod to special tripods for special purposes. Videographers will also find a suitable tripod from this manufacturer. Accordingly, the intended use is a decisive criterion when buying a photo tripod. In principle, the following points should be taken into account in your purchase decision:
Do you often want to travel with all your equipment? Then a lightweight, yet robust tripod is all the more recommended. The tripod head should also be chosen carefully.
Most Rollei tripod heads have a quick-release plate. With this, the camera is quickly attached to the tripod head. The connection between the tripod and the tripod head is made using the tripod thread. Common cameras are equipped with an internal thread that is 1/4 inch. However, there are also models that work with 3/8 inch threads. Tripod heads from Rollei are usually equipped with a 3/8 inch internal thread. They also have an adapter for 1/4 inch. Accordingly, the tripod heads can be mounted on different tripods, which is important for a high degree of flexibility.
But the tripod head is not only important for attaching the camera to the tripod, it also serves to control the camera. It is particularly easy to attach cameras to tripod heads with the help of quick-release plates. For this reason, quick-release plates are always included with Rollei tripod heads. It is important that the tripod head fits the purpose for which you mainly need the tripod. The tripod head is not always included with the tripod. You may have to buy it separately.
In this context, you should know that ball heads allow flexible alignment and fixing of the camera. For this, only one screw has to be operated. The three-way panhead, on the other hand, lets you align the camera much more precisely. This is often important for landscape, architecture and macro photography. For videographers, there are special tripod heads that are damped. This enables jerk-free panning. Some tripod heads are equipped with a spirit level so that you can check whether you have really aligned the camera exactly straight. We have summarised all the important tripod heads offered by the manufacturer Rollei and their areas of application in the following list:
The following three Rollei tripods are particularly sought-after:
A tripod from Rollei that is very popular is the "Rock Solid Alpha XL Carbon". It is a tripod that is equipped with spikes to ensure a secure hold on any surface. It is ideal for terrain shots or photos from a bird's eye view because of the high working height. It convinces with its high stability and the very good vibration damping. It is also robust against salt water and sand.
The "Rock Solid Beta Carbon" is also well received by our customers. This tripod can also be used as a monopod. The advantage is that the tripod legs can be swivelled by 180 degrees. The spikes give the tripod the necessary grip. This model has a separate centre column. Another highlight is the low weight, although this tripod is very stable. Especially for the use of lenses with long focal lengths, the Rollei tripod proves to be the perfect companion.
Ideal for travelling is the "Compact Traveler Mini M-1" by Rollei. This is a compact, lightweight and flexible mini tripod. It has an additional centre column. The tripod legs can be swivelled by 180 degrees. The foam grip on the tripod legs protects against the cold and at the same time ensures a secure grip.
