How useful is Horizontal positioning on a tripod? good ، How useful is Horizontal positioning on a tripod? good
I’m researching tripods and have narrowed it down to the Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 or the Silk 634 CF.
My tripod requirements are: weights less than 3lbs, folds down to less than ~20 inches, under $300, and around 60 inches full height. Max support weight not really a concern.
The nice feature about the 190CXPRO series is that the center column can be adjusted to swivel 90 degrees and can setup horizontal shooting. This, a cool feature and all, seems more like a novelty and I don’t see my self using the feature that much. Plus, it seems like more parts capable of breaking over time.
Is the swivel feature that useful in shooting landscapes?
Or is this feature more suited towards shooting under specific circumstances that typical tripod shooting would never need? Any 190Pro or 55Pro users who absolutely love their swivel for horizontal shooting?
