As a landscape photographer, choosing the right tripod can make a big difference in capturing stunning images. With so many options available, it can be difficult to determine which tripod is best suited for your needs. I recently made a switch to the Winston Pro 2 from Three-Legged Thing, a British company, and I'm here to share my experience and insights about this tripod.

The main goal for me when purchasing this tripod was to save weight in my camera gear while also keeping the cost economical. The Winston Pro two with the L bracket from Three Legged Thing comes in just over two kilogrammes, which is a whole kilo lighter than the Manfrotto tripod I was using previously. This may not sound like a lot, but when you're walking a reasonable distance with your gear, every kilo saved makes a big difference. The tripod is also very stable, offering a good balance between maximum height and portability in terms of weight.

However, I do have a few reservations about the Winston Pro 2, though they are small and may not turn out to be a problem. I might need to change the way I work slightly and get used to the switch from my previous tripod. Nonetheless, after using the Winston Pro 2 for several months, I can say that it has worked out well for me and I plan on using it more and more for my still photography. It ticks all the boxes for me in terms of weight, stability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.

In conclusion, I highly recommend the Winston Pro 2 from Three-Legged Thing for landscape photographers looking for a lightweight, stable, and user-friendly tripod. The £400 price tag is reasonable for the quality and performance that you get in return. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just starting, the Winston Pro 2 is a great investment that will enhance your photography and help you capture stunning images.
