Que faire si votre trépied est trop lourd pour les prises de vue en extérieur ?

Carbon fiber is a wonderful material that allows for heavy duty but light weight tripods. If you need a tripod with more weight because you're shooting timelapse sequences or long lens footage, I'd recommend aluminum or an older wood tripod, and carry it in a padded bag with a shoulder strap.

If your tripod is too heavy for outdoor shoots, there are several steps you can take to address the issue: Invest in a Lightweight Tripod: Consider purchasing a lighter tripod specifically designed for outdoor use. There are many lightweight tripod options available on the market that still offer stability and durability. Use a Monopod: If carrying a tripod is too cumbersome, a monopod can be a lighter alternative. While not as stable as a tripod, a monopod can still provide support for your camera and help reduce camera shake during outdoor shoots.

Opt for a tripod made from lightweight materials such as carbon fiber or aluminum. These materials offer durability without adding unnecessary weight, making them ideal for outdoor shoots where mobility is key.

Explore alternative camera support options like a monopod or stabilizer. Monopods provide stability while offering greater flexibility and portability compared to tripods. Similarly, stabilizers, such as gimbals or steadicams, can help stabilize your shots while allowing for more dynamic movements.

Look for natural elements or improvised supports in your outdoor environment that can serve as stable platforms for your camera. This could include rocks, tree branches, or walls that offer sturdy surfaces for mounting your equipment and capturing steady shots.

Firstly, the fastest way to shed weight in video production is to use a small camera. A small camera requires lighter stabilisers (eg, tripods, gimbals, clamps) Secondly, do not conflate camera size with sensor size. A full frame sigma FP is much smaller than a micro43 GH5. You often can have your cake and eat it too. A larger sensor often means better light sensitivity and hence requiring less heavy lights, lightstands. Third, unless you are shooting timelapse or long locked down shots on a long focal length. a combination of a gimbal, IBIS, lens IS, post-stabilisation can often deliver tripod-like results.
