Clint Buhler has been photographing for over 17 years and admits to being “a fanatic about quality.” For him, a tripod is essential and he’s tried out a good number of them over the years.

When going on a trip, Clint wanted a tripod that was the perfect blend of travel-friendliness and heavy duty sturdiness. He ended up with the Induro AT214 and BHD2 and couldn’t be happier. Watch the video for more of Clint’s thoughts on the AT214, and take a look at some of his images from a variety of different locations and image making conditions. Continue reading →

We’re not the only ones in the “In My Bag” game. HDR One, an online community for HDR enthusiasts, is featuring photographer Scott Frederick with a couple of his images and a look at the gear he relies on.

Included in his bag of tricks is an Induro CT213 and BHD2 ballhead. He writes:

“ …I’m achieving better clarity in difficult shooting conditions because of this tripod.  It keeps my camera very steady, especially during a 4 minute long exposure.”

Scott has a unique way of working, so check out the post on HDR One for more details. To see more of his work, go to his portfolio. Connect with Scott on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter.

The Water’s Fine: Nature Photography with Maxis Gamez

© Maxis Gamez

Maxis Gamez is a Florida based nature photographer with a special interest in wild birds. Nature photography requires a special set of skills, patience and persistence for one thing, and specialized gear to go along with it.

Maxis’ review of the Induro CT414 on Outdoor Photo Gear is an informative take on the tripod, from his unique perspective. Maxis frequently works in and around water, both salt and fresh, to capture images of wildlife so he needs a tripod that could often get wet and still perform like the day he bought it. In addition, he’s over 6 feet tall, so stability at the tripod’s full extension was important to him.

Here, we’ll share some quotes from the review paired with images of Maxis and his tripod at work. Continue reading →

Since his first impressions post in early February, Abram of The Phoblographer has gotten a chance to take a look at the 75mm Hi-Hat in depth and is back with a full featured review.

In addition to the tripod itself, Abram also takes a look at the Kupo Vision Arm, a handy accessory that can be be attached to the Hi-Hat along the base plate and used to mount an external mic, monitor, or other small device.

He wraps up the review saying:

“I am happy to recommend this tripod to both still photographers and filmmakers looking for a way to shoot low angles or on table-tops without having to rig up some makeshift thing to get the shot. Well done, Induro. Well done.”

How did he get there? Read the full review to find out.

Winter gales on Lake Michigan encase the St. Joseph Lighthouse in thick coating of ice.

John McCormick is a landscape photographer working from his home state of Michigan, and proud of it. Michigan might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of landscape photography, but John is out to change that perception saying that, “Nowhere in the United States will you find an area that more reflects the dramatic seasonal changes, beautiful winters, colorful Autumns and springs. It’s a landscape continually changing.” Take a look at his work, and you’ll believe it.

While we love a good serene sunset-on-the-beach shot as much as the next guy, John is here to show us an entirely different side of the shore. Take a look at John’s shots of Michigan’s many lighthouses and you’ll see that a little weather won’t hold him back from getting the shot.
