Thursday Turtle

Today on Thursday Turtle here at Ashley's Art Closet you get to watch a video. Yay! The video was filmed using my iPhone one day when I finished cleaning their aquarium. They love it when it's clean. This is the only time they swim around like this. Usually they are more in hang out mode. Enjoy!

The Best Tripod

After filming my first online art class/workshop, I knew a tripod upgrade was a must for the next filming. Today, I am sharing with you the tripod upgrade I recently purchased. Because I film over head, I needed something very flexible to get the job done. After much research and review reading, I came to a conclusion the Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT was best for my needs. You can view this tripod on Amazon by clicking here. It's even an Amazon Prime item. I am very pleased with the durability of this tripod. Over the years, I've owned a number of inexpensive tripods which didn't hold up. If you are in the market for a tripod, I am here to tell you this will fit your needs for any project; food, landscape, workshop filming, portrait, etc. Below are a few pictures of features of the tripod. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. 

For an addition amount of flexibility, I also purchased the Vanguard BBH-200 Magnesium Tripod Ball Head. 

Let's say this has been one of my best investment recently!
