Tommy&Tiky:FAQ – Tripod ‘exclusively tailored’ to camcorders
Hello, it’s Tiky again!
I have an exclusive news for you guys. I’ve reviewed a tripod for camcorder before. Remember that? It was about 8months ago. Title with “Camcorder with an unique active angle lens tripod” , check this article again! Now I have another tips for you. The thing I’d like to tell you guys is we have a tripod exclusively tailored to camcorders like HMX-S16! Let’s find out how this wonderful tool works and helps you ulimately.
Just like a camera, camcorders come with different handy accessories. However, only a limited number of camcorders can use accessories such as microphone. Samsung recently launched a high-end camcorder called HMX-S16, to which a wide variety of accessories can be attached. On top, HMX-S16 has an accessory shoe to connect to accessories. Then, let’s take a look at accessories that will be very usefully in filming way better quality video.
Tripod ‘exclusively tailored’ to camcorders
One of the most frequently committed errors of camcorder users is to use the tripod for cameras that you already have. Or, even worse, buying a tripod for camera to use for camcorder, failing to acknowledge the difference between the two! Having totally different purposes of recording snap shot vs. movement, the tripods for the two have fundamentally different shape.
Tripod head for camcorder (video camera)
What you see here is the typical head of tripods for video cameras. At a quick glance, you might not be able to tell the difference, but how they work is totally different. With the tripod for camera, the head is fixed and remains fixed at the desired location. However, for camcorder tripod, the head holds still even if you don’t fix it strongly. You can also turn the camcorder around sideways without shaking.
Meanwhile, as cameras record stand-still images, the head is fixed at the desired location, not tolerating an inch of movement. Even if you were to place a camcorder on top and tighten it to the middle, you are bound to have blurry images if you move it up and down.
Now, let’s take a look at what this means in real life.

Camcorder (video camera) attached to a dedicated tripod and moved up/down and sideways
So, anyone thinking “That is why my image was so shaky!” rather than “I didn’t know camcorder tripods are so stable!”? If you surf the web or browse shops, you can easily find that such information is not clearly delivered to the customer. For a non-expert, it’s difficult to be aware of such information. If you have ever had trouble using a tripod, check if the tripod is fit for the purpose first. If not, I strongly recommend that you get a dedicated tripod for the best results!

Samsung NX100 Review(Conclusion)
Conclusion
The Samsung NX100 is a natural evolution of the expanding NX-series, providing a more compact and lighter overall package than the existing NX10 model which competes more clearly with the Panasonic GF, Olympus EP and Sony NEX cameras. The NX100 isn't quite as small or as well-realised as we'd have liked, but it's currently by far the cheapest way to buy into the Compact System Camera revolution.
The reduction in the size of the NX100 has come at the cost of the loss of a built-in electronic viewfinder and, more crucially for its target market of compact camera upgraders, a built-in flash. While most of the NX100's potential owners won't mind the lack of an EVF, they will miss the versatility of a pop-up flash, something that several key rivals offer. Sure, you can fit an optional flash unit to the NX100 via the Smart Shoe, but its more inconvenient and also prevents additional use of either the EVF or the intriguing GPS unit at the same time. On a more practical level we also missed having a proper grip, especially given the NX100's smooth surface, although in most other respects the user interface is commendably well-thought-out for such a new product.
The jury's out on the new i-Function button, though, with opinions divided about whether it's a genuinely useful innovation or just another way to differentiate the NX system from its competitors. Being able to change the camera's key settings via the focus ring makes sense when holding it up to eye-level, but just seems plain awkward when it's held at arm's length, something that most of this model's target audience will do by default. We think i-Function is a better fit for the NX10 with its built-in EVF, which has recently been made compatible with the two new i-Fn lenses through a firmware upgrade.
On the subject of lenses, the new 20-50mm kit lens that we reviewed the NX100 with is a lot smaller than the existing 18-55mm lens that ships with the NX10, with a couple of important caveats. Firstly its retractable design means that the startup of the camera is slowed down as you have to unlock the lens, and secondly this lens isn't stabilised, an important oversight as the NX system doesn't offer in-body stabilisation. Samsung have boosted the ISO speed up to 6400 on the NX100, but the results aren't pretty and don't make up for the lack of OIS in the lens.
As the NX100 shares exactly the same sensor as the NX10, it also offers all the advantages that a large APS-C DSLR sensor offers, namely better performance at higher ISOs than the smaller Micro Four Thirds format. I'd be happy to regularly shoot with any setting from 100-800, and even 1600 is handy at a push. The fastest settings of 3200 and 6400 are less useful though and not quite on a par with the high ISO results from the Sony NEX series. The movie mode is also not quite as sophisticated as some rivals, with no stereo sound or option to connect a microphone, no one-touch record button and no ability to change the shutter speed or take a still image during recording.
One factor that the Samsung NX100 certainly does have in its favour is price. The official RRP of £449.99 / $599.99 with the new 20-50mm kit lens is competitive enough, but we've already seen prices below £400 / $500 from reputable dealers, giving incredible value for money and the cheapest entry into the CSC market for a new product. The Samsung NX100 undercuts its main rivals by a considerable margin and also further blurs the boundaries between high-end compact cameras and Compact System Cameras. Despite our slight misgivings about the NX100's size, lack of built-in flash and the new kit lens, it's still a very good camera with a high-quality APS-C sensor and Samsung's massive financial backing behind it, making it an easy recommendation if you want to test out the Compact System Camera waters without having to invest too much money.

Winner of Advanced Compact System Camera of the Year – Samsung NX10 and Winner of Entry Compact System Camera of the Year – Samsung NX100
I am very proud of NX10 and NX100. Using NX10 was the best way for me to feel the difference among many other cameras. Both are Samsung’s mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. Especially, NX10 gave me strong first impression when I saw the reviews of NX10. NX10’s mirrorless interchangeable lens is giving me many different experiences that I am not able to experience by using other cameras. What ever objects I take, photos and videos are always made in high resolution and easy to adjust the setting by just turning focus lens. So I never lose any shots. Except that, compact body, high resolution, and rapid AF sensor delivered me high satisfaction and fulfilled my needs.
In addition, AP praised the NX series as the best value for money. ‘It’s easy to use and has a nice grip and excellent image quality compare with other competitor’s products.’
Meanwhile, Samsung EX1 has been nominated for ‘Enthusiast Compact Camera’, and the i-Function Lens has been nominated for ‘Technical Innovation’.
A full list of this year’s star performers is published here.
