- This Is One SIMPLE Item Every Photographer Should Consider Owning
froknowsphoto.c...
I know it sounds simple but a good step-stool really comes in handy for photographers in many situations.
First: it's something to give you some extra height when you want to get to eye-level or above a subjects eye-level
Second: it lets you sit down and a really good shooting height or to simply take a load off.
Third: If you're at an event and need to get above the crowd to get your shot you can.
There are so many more reasons and I know it sounds simple but you will thank me when you get the shot you need because you had something I mentioned in this video.

I was surprised by the click bait style title, especially because I don't think you ever use them, but watch the video anyways. I'm glad I did, as it wasn't actually click bait! Really do love this channel.
I do own one and its amazing. Whenever Im shooting sports, Im ALWAYS sitting down. The shots that you take on sports from a lower angle is so much better.
This is such a good idea. When I go out doing bird photography in the field I often take a seat to use whilst waiting for my subject. It becomes important because it keeps you there for longer which means more opportunities to get good shots.
Walkstool is absolutely the best thing I've ever bought. Slides into an old tripod bag easy, light and easy to set up and tear down in less than a minute. Great if you're hiking into somewhere to take photos and need to sit around and wait for your shot, or just for hiking in general too. Best of all, the thing supports over 300lbs of weight so even if you're wearing your gear you can sit without worry.
Simple and true video. For my part it's the opposite, I now carry a blanket with me to trow on the ground when I want a low angle. I too often wanted to take a quick picture from ground level but didn't wanted to wreak my clothes (for example: wearing a suit for an event but wanting to take a picture from ground level, the ground being humid fresh cut grass)
Just about to make the exact same video lol, but so agree. Most overlooked item out there
You're the guy with the eye, you can't overlook things :D

lol hey sometimes you just dont see some things!
I clicked the video thinking it was Slash
As someone just starting you wouldn´t think of something that SIMPLE and useful! I didn´t until this Video. Thanks Fro!
btw. This is useful you damn haters. If you don´t care because you are so pro, then make your own videos for other pro-togs. I´m sure that will work...
+1. I was watching a Jason Lernier lecture and he talked about articulating screens to get high angle shots at a wedding during the dance. Looks like this would help achieve that too.
Totally agree, i always have it with me when doing portraits just to get that little bit taller than the subject.
Great idea and a nice, quick, concise, 2 minute hit. Excellent suggestion that is "off the beaten path." Tired of everyone suggesting "lenses, tripods, etc." There are PLENTY of videos for this. This suggestion is one people may not think of and like the portable small folding stools. Easy to transport and little space. That tripod chair.... DON'T CHEAP OUT GUYS or you will be shooting from an unexpectedly low perspective .... with a little motion blur.... when the chair collapses! This title did not feel click baity either. It is truly a different piece of gear than EVERY other suggestion we see out there.
Adam, your Grandma Valentina is my mom's (Diane), Aunt. Adam my real name is Bill I just use a fake name on You tube b/c of the crazy folks. Anyways you would know me if you saw me, we see you from time to time when we are in Staunton. My wife is the one who saw your comment on this channel and recognized your picture. We are just getting into photography. We just bought the Panasonic G9 and G85. Small world to see you on You tube.
short and sweet . well said brother. thank you for sharing
Great idea! I need one of those little stools :) Knee pads are also very helpful.
you can use your walk stool as a head rest too! those are nice and light
A stool is a great item to have, you can stand on it, sit on it, or set things on it.
But I thought that you were going to say that the one thing every photographer should own is a camera. haha
I thought he was going to say you need a t-shirt as that's what he was shooting lol.
Im also amazed by stools. the unique design, the endless usabillity, the classic vibe and material. its so awesome
i want ask you what about D750 with 70-300 vr and 50mm f/1.8 for sports and portrait ?
I was just thinking something similar. Good tip.
yep. stool is a must
I agree! Stools rules!
Good tip, although your backdrop would normally be set up at ground height.
True
got all the model...you need one in Arena concert when you shoot at the sound console .... to get avoid all the hand in the air with Iphone! loll! :)
Now that I have a 70-200 lens with VR I'm debating leaving my monopod at home and putting a small stool like that on my backpack instead :P
Fro knows Photo! Kewl. My knees hurt. Hey! Jared, I want one of those raw shirts.
Fro KNOWS
FRO KNOWS BEST
Doesn't really seem to matter for me, me being 6' 4" (194cm) tall. I mostly need to stoop down to get to the "correct angle", let alone needing to climb on something.
Snap samere here!
Yeah, I'm 6'9", I feel you hahaha
6'5" guy here, I have the same problem as you! I guess the only real usage of one of those stools would be to sit down on them.
Well now i'm pissed, i'm only 5' 6"
lol
I have the small one and use it a lot ! it's almost indestructible and cost around $10.00
Very funny I actually needed a stool in the studio at uni because I was using a c stand and my camera was up higher than me! I couldn't believe that uni didn't have any stools, I'd bring my own but I travel 3 hours each way by train to get there and carrying a stool along with a camera bag, books and a tripod seems a little much
So they didn't even have a box or... a chair? Just clean it off or take your shoes off if they whine about getting it dirty lol.
Could you please stop using those clickbait titles. That's extremely annoying.
I was just about to make a similar comment myself. Clickbait titles are highly annoying.
You know what is annoying? Complaints like yours.
He made a video with a tip in it. Is it the greatest tip ever? No. That is why he said one SIMPLE item.
Stop whining
+RandyS8410 don't leave out he said "consider" rather than needs to have or has to have. In addition, the video is only about 1 thing, and it's exactly what the title says. That's not click bait.
It's definitly click bait. The title "promises" that the video is about an important tip. But in reality it is like "Look how usefull chairs are".
+Philipp Hengel Well, I should say, I don't think it counts (you know, different people = different opinions) I found it helpful since it's honestly something I've considered before, but I have now. I also liked that it was a really short video. Quick and to the point. When I think of click bait, I think of something that promises to discuss one thing, but that one thing is buried under either a whole bunch of unrelated crap, or preceded by a lot of unnecessary build up.
The mannequin doesnt have pants.
Lmao i thought he was going to say like a 70-200 or sth haha
how tall is he
They have walk stools at the dollar store for like 2 or 3 bucks.
Already have and use a stool. Check
I thought you were on vacation :)
It's been 2 weeks till u did critiques...why? I subbed you forthat.. u said every Tuesday etc... waiting also for u to critique my photos...
I'm sure you're not the only person in line waiting for a critique
you're probably the 1,000th person in the queue by now
He owes you a critique because you subbed him? If that's the only reason you subbed to this channel then you may as well leave now.
Nevets no i'm subbed for a long time lol. i subbed because i love hes critique videos.. which he said he was gonna upload every tuesday .. it's been 2weeks now without crit. isn't it ormal that i ask this? jees what's with this youtube lately, are we only supose to give ultra good comments en only like since the dislike button on comments doesn't work -_-
Mario x Jolien Could've been easily interpreted as "I subbed to you so I can have my photos critiqued. Where is my critique?!"
Just get a Sony and tilt the screen as needed
Because only Sony uses tilt screens
And because tilting the screen increases your height.
you can hold the camera above your head. its rly handy.
and i got a nikon
Bed, bath, and beyond works great for NHL games
People in the comments misuse the word "clickbait"
Eeyore
Especially if you are a shorty.
Ya u don't want to always b on your knees
dafuq, is that puu from yuyu hakusho?
Pants man......pants.
cover your shame, I mean the manikin behind you
Wow didnt think your videos could get much worse...
Yeah....and this is where i unsubscribe. This is beyond pointless.
