Perhaps you shoot a horizontal composition, then feel like taking a similar photo in a
vertical homing. With a regular tripod, the subied position through the viewfinder
inevitably shilts and the photographer has to refocus hom the start. With a tripod mounl
ring, however,
you
can maintain the position of the subjed in the Viewfinder - for on
easy, instant frame change to a vertical, horizontal, or even on angled composition.
