Tripod feet showing in scans - yet recommended by this site!16398

Did my first Matterport shoot with the Pro2 today (have been using a Theta Z for the last few months). On searching for the best tripods to use with the Pro2 it conveniently listed one of the many tripods I already own (Manfrotto 190) so I used it (https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/9793/three-tripods-to-pair-with-matterport-pro2-3d-camera/), bad move. The feet can be seen in most of the shots when you look down. Why is this recommended on here as a good tripod for the Pro 2 if the feet are so wide that they show in the shots?! What is the workaround for this? Sure, move the feet in closer but I'd rather have a tripod where I know I can have the legs all fully extended (width-wise) to ensure it's level and them still not be showing in the shots. |

Hi Chris, Your fellow countryman Matt Kaye makes this neat gadget so that you can secure the legs evenly, but closer, so they do not appear in shot. clickable text You will never have to blame your tools again :-) Oliver |

I use a 190x and expand one of the two leg sections and the center extension. 2 leg sections extended would put the camera up to high. Tripod feet never show in scans for me. | ||

Do you have the center extension raised at all? We have used the Manfrotto 190/290 tripods for years and I don't remember seeing the feet. |

Ah, thank you folks, I do totally take the blame for this myself( despite being a little irate in my original post!). I didn't raise the centre post but I will now! I will also look at the gadet Gladsmuir kindly recommended. Many thanks. Very happy with the resolution of the Pro2 images compared to the Theta Z although it would be nice to have a little of the HDR properties of the Theta as the darker areas of the images are a bit too dark for my liking but I guess that's the trade off. |
