I do pretty much all my photography with a single lens: Tamron SP 24-70mm F\/2.8 Di VC USD G2. For people unfamiliar with photography, long story short: it’s a heavy hunk of glass and metal (just shy of 1kg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a problem when using tripod. When using a tripod, center of gravity of your camera should be roughly on top of the head of the tripod. However, large and heavy lenses have the tendency to move center of gravity away from the head of the tripod \u2014 and this is very problematic: not only is it harder to aim your camera, but the tripod head is under a lot of unnecessary strain. Same goes for the lens mount on the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n
