Want to boost your online presence with some videos and stories from your kitchen? The secret is not only the right recipes, but also the right gear to shoot smooth content. One of the most popular food shots is the 90° top-down point of view shot, which is very easy to achieve by using a tripod with the vertical column that also goes horizontal. The best companion for this type of content could be a tripod form the Manfrotto 055 series and, of course, the right background for the perfect lighting.
