Water proof tripods?

7 years 9 months ago #489816 by Jakov Barnes
Why aren't tripods water proof?  Don't manufactures know photographers will set up their tripods in rivers, lakes and oceans.  Seems like you would expect more to be set up and ready for water.  Not the case.

For the money, these are good tripods.  My wife, I mean Santa got me one last year for Christmas.  It's well made.

I second that. Great build quality and I can attest to the waterproofness!

OP, which tripods aren't for "water" use? I have a few and I'm not afraid to set up any of them in the ocean.....

Why so serious?

I agree. I never thought about not setting up in the water. You probably should wash it off with fresh water after placing in the ocean but I forgot to do that on my trip to Oregon and my tripod is still like new. It's a Davis and Sanford and I just checked it and it's still good to go.
