Tripod mount ring
Useful at t' IT' s I ke thes I
Perhaps you shoot a horizontal composition then feel like taking a similar photo in a
vertical frammg. With a regular tripod, the subject position through the vtewfinder
inevitably shihs and the photographer has to refocus from the start . With a tripod mounl
ring, however, you can maintain the position of the subject in the viewfinder- for an
easy, instant frame change to a vertical, horizontal, or even an angled composition.

Wha t rs o lrrpod mount rirg2
Tripods ore normally attached directly to the camera body. Lenses equipped with a tripod mount ring however ,
allow the tripod to be attached to the lens rather than the camera body . Accordrngly, the camera rotates with the
lens ot the axis, and after the macro lens is attached , the hont/back weight distnbution is improved . The result s
steady, blur-free photography.
