The grip-side 1\/4\u201120 is for vertical social framing without an L-bracket. Canon rotates the UI. Use a short Arca\/1\/4\u201120 plate so it does not hang off the thin body. A long DSLR plate belongs on the base.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Should Movie Digital IS stay on when the camera is on a tripod?<\/h3><p>Canon: set it to [Off]. Digital IS magnifies (crops) the frame; [Enhanced] more so. On locked legs that crop is wasted and can look like a slight crawl. Lens IS on the 14\u201330 can stay on or off \u2014 follow the lens switch; the body has no IBIS.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Can I use a heavy DSLR tripod?<\/h3><p>The 1\/4\u201120 is standard. Payload is not the problem; carrying a 2 kg stick next to a 370 g camera is. Befree or Peak Design aluminum is enough. Gitzo Traveler Series 1 is not a value buy for this body.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Is the HG\u2011200TBR enough instead of a tripod?<\/h3><p>For handheld vlog and a table. Canon\u2019s 1 kg cap is camera + lens + mic. The 14\u201330 kit fits. It is not a 150 cm travel tripod and it is not for a long RF zoom.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Peak Design Travel Tripod (Aluminum)<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 packed size and a short Arca plate for both sockets.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B085BQS6K4?tag=e6890-20\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Manfrotto Befree Advanced Aluminum<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 8 kg, Arca+RC2, Easy Link, less money.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07839ZHPB?tag=e6890-20\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udcb0 Budget Pick:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>K&#038;F Concept S210<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 78 in and a monopod for about $80.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07VRPVQS3?tag=e6890-20\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"verdict-summary\">The R50 V is 370 g, no IBIS, dual 1\/4\u201120, kit lens 181 g.
