Rollei C5i

attractive combination of a lightweight aluminium tripod and a high-quality tripod head that is sturdy enough for heavy DSLR equipment, but with a compact packing size and an unladen weight of only two kilograms, it also fits in your luggage. The universal tripod C5i with the panorama ball head FPH-52Q has already been awarded several times with its wide range of functions to your all-purpose photographic weapon when it comes to quiet camera posture and precise image creation. If you do not use high ISO values for night shots, use the tripod in combination with a long exposure time. The noise, which is particularly annoying in dark parts of the image, disappears and you get high-quality images even in poor lighting conditions. With the Rollei C5i you reach a comfortable working height of up to 159 cm, which also allows longer photo sessions without back pain. For a sports event where you want to follow the action quickly and flexibly with a long telephoto focal length, simply convert the Rollei C5i into a monopod. Mount your Monopod directly to the lens using the quick coupling plate. Thus the system is optimally balanced and can be held with very little effort over a longer period of time. If required, the quick release plate can be released in one easy step, and you can photograph from your free hand if the situation requires it. For macro and repro photography, the center column of the C5i is reversible, which means your camera hangs down in the retro position. This allows you to take pictures of plants and insects directly on the ground or photograph small objects or documents without disturbing the tripod legs. The versatile usability of the C5i is complemented by many useful details such as quick clamps to adjust the leg length, non-slip foam handles that also have a cold-insulating effect, spirit levels in the tripod head and a practical tripod bag. You won't want to miss this comfort anymore. Clarissa Kues from Uslar tested the C5i in moving image use. The 360° rotating center column for smooth video recording and the quick-release plate were of particular benefit. Her conclusion: "The Rollei C5i tripod convinces by good handling, high-quality workmanship, good technical equipment and last but not least by an appealing appearance. The C5i can be used in many different situations and positions. Whether macro photography or video recording, whether on open space or in cramped surroundings - the Rollei C5i is always an ideal companion, even when travelling".
