The interactive tool - how it works.

choosing User Needs or Tech Needs modesThe configurator can be used in two different modes:
1. User Needs Mode
or
2. Tech Needs Mode:

1. User Needs Mode

In the user needs mode, the systems suggests what should be a good product choice according to some parameters that the user is required to provide: Camera Weight, Camera Use and Camera Type. This mode is suggested for unexperienced users and photogrphers who have never approached the world of tripods and heads.

Camera Weight

A fundamental parameter when it comes to choosing the right camera support equipment. Tripods and heads, according to the materials and technology they are built with, have specific payloads which must be tuned to the weight of the equipment one uses to take pictures.



Camera Use

Heads are very interesting pieces of equipment, that according to their nature (three ways, center ball...) can work very well in specific situations. Some of them can be very fast to set up or very precise. The Camera Use parameter allows the system to give the user a selection of head types as best fitting its needs.


Camera Type

The camera type very often is a sign of the type of photographer one is. The system uses this parameter to discretely suggest the tripod family that Manfrotto has designed specifically for that kind of camera and photographer. For a popup window with a list of example camera types, click here.
