The Zomei Z818 Tripod

In our opinion, the best tripod for Nikon d5300 cameras currently available on the market right now is the Zomei Z818 Tripod (Click here to check for product prices and availability). Although some people choose to instantly dismiss the Zomei brand for some reason in favor for something like a Manfrotto tripod, we would like to point out that the tripods in the Zomei range are much cheaper than their Manfrotto competitors while offering almost the same functionality. We feel that this is the reason that the Zomei Z818 has managed to earn itself such an excellent reputation amongst the community in such a short period of time. Additionally, we recently published a full review of the Z818 that we feel may be helpful to you too.

The tripod is based around the standard ball head design that is well known by most photographers and videographers due to its simplicity and use and design. The majority of the body and legs of the tripod are made from a high-quality magnesium and aluminum alloy that is very strong, firm, and robust but also very lightweight. This helps you keep the weight of your photography kit bag as low as possible allowing you to stay within your baggage allowance if you need to travel with your kit.

The image to the left shows the head of the tripod in a little more detail. As you can see, the Zomei Z818 comes with a quick release plate as standard allowing you to quickly and easily mount or unmount your Nikon D5300 as required throughout your photography session.

Additionally, if you are planning to use other cameras with your tripod during the same session, additional cheap quick release plates for the tripod are available (Click here to check for product prices and availability). This allows you to add a compatible quick release plate to all of the cameras in your collection that will seamlessly work with the Z818.

Although you are unable to see it in the image above, the right-hand side of the tripod head has a bubble level included as shown in the image to the right. One of our favorite things about the Zomei tripod range is that the bubble levels have been placed in a location that you can easily see even when your Nikon D5300 and lens of choice are mounted.

We have lost count of the number of tripods that look great but you mount your camera rig to it and it hides the bubble level. For whatever reason, you have to change locations but can’t see your bubble level to ensure your rig is level without unmounting your camera. Thankfully, this is not an issue with the Zomei Z818.

In our opinion, the Zomei Z818 will make an excellent addition to your collection of camera accessories and serve both you and your Nikon D5300 well. Although these more budget-friendly tripod brands sometimes have a stigma against then, the reputation that the Zomei Z818 has earned should speak for itself.

The Zomei Q555 Tripod

Next up on our list of tripods that you can use for your Nikon D5300 camera, we have another tripod from Zomei, this time their travel tripod, the Zomei Q555 (Click here to check for product prices and availability). In addition to being a smaller, lighter tripod that has been designed for use with travel, the Q555 is also a very budget friendly product that beats out the vast majority of its competition as well as competing with various tripods above its price point. We feel that this is one of the reasons that the Q555 has build up such a good reputation.

The image to the left shows the head of the Q555 and as you can see, it is also based around the ball head design while also coming with a quick release plate. The head has a bubble level that is again located away from the main plate making it easy to see and check once you have mounted your camera rig.

If you are planning to use this tripod with your Nikon D5300 for travel photography, you may also consider picking up the third-party, aftermarket pan head adaptor (Click here to check for product prices and availability). This makes the tripod much easier to use for long panning footage or for use with panoramic landscape photographs while also keeping the overall costs much lower than many competing pan heads.

Due to having been designed for use with travel, its set up time is also much quicker than you would expect. The flip lock system on the legs of the tripod allows you to quickly and easily get your tripod ready for your camera rig in a matter of seconds and the rubber feed on the base of the legs of the tripod offer excellent stability on loose ground that is common outside.

All in all, the Zomei Q555 is a very good tripod that will suit you well if you are on a tighter budget or plan to use your rig for travel photography. Its small size and light weight make it easy to add to your bag of camera accessories.
