Aluminum tripod are made from an aluminum alloy, and while it’s not the strongest metal available, it’s relatively strong for its weight. It also has the advantage of being quite malleable, meaning that if you damage it on impact, it will bend rather than break completely, so it can still be used.
Should I buy an aluminum tripod?
Aluminum tripod have been around longer than carbon fiber tripods and are often the material of construction used in lower-end tripod lines. Aluminum is cheaper to manufacture and produce than carbon fiber, which tends to be reflected in the price when choosing a tripod. Aluminum is more flexible, softer, and less durable than carbon tubes of the same size. The aluminum alloys used in tripods are also more prone to corrosion if the outer layers of the tube are damaged or scratched.
Aluminium tripods tend to be heavier when similarly sized tripods are compared to carbon fiber models, which can make them a less attractive option if weight is an important consideration for your photographic needs (for example, for travel photography or night walks). For beginners looking for an inexpensive option that rarely uses a tripod, or even in situations like studio photography where you don’t need to carry the tripod very far, aluminium tripod stand can provide stability for your camera that needs to capture those images on the go.
Advantages of aluminum tripods
Cheaper than carbon fiber: Aluminum survey tripod is cheaper to manufacture than carbon fiber tripod, which means cost savings over purchasing aluminum tripods.
Less likely to break due to impacts: Aluminum tripod are less likely to break due to heavy impacts, drops, or increased pressure applied to the legs and other tubes. However, even the best aluminium tripod is less malleable than carbon fiber, meaning the tube is more likely to flex under stress.
