One of the most valuable items you’ll be carrying around in your kitbag will inevitably be your camera. There’s only so much you can do and so far you can take your photography with your camera alone though, even if you’ve invested in a model with all the bells and whistles. Sometimes you need that extra bit of support to stretch your creative muscles even further, whether that’s in the form of a tripod for added stability and control or a specialist lens to get you the view you’re seeking. Manfrotto Distribution is a name synonymous with top-end tripods, but it is also the go-to place to source all your photo accessories too.
