The winds of spring have finally picked up in my area, finally allowing for the long awaited test.  For my first serious test with the torque gauge, I brought out my largest camera and lens system, the Fuji GFX 50s and lenses.  I have chosen this camera for this test because it is in several […]

The primary measure of tripod stability used on this site is stiffness, defined precisely as the amount of torque required to to achieve a particular angular deflection.  While we have very accurate measurements of the torsional stiffness of tripods, we don’t have good data on amount of torque that ends up getting exerted onto the […]
