A strong burst of flash balanced with ambient light can make a world of difference in retouching. While Nikon and Canon make reliable speedlights, the new line of Godox Speedlights offers better value for money with powerful and reliable options such as:
A sturdy tripod is essential for real estate photography—one that won't budge as you adjust settings and can extend above your head to minimize keystoning when shooting tall exteriors.
While there are several good options, the Manfrotto 475B stands out as the premier tripod for real estate photography. This versatile tripod can be locked to prevent movement on slippery floors, features a geared column for precise height adjustments, and offers an impressive height range from 43cm to 188cm.
The Benro TMA48CXL Mach3 Carbon Fibre Tripod is also a good option however it offers less precision in height adjustments.
A geared tripod head is essential for real estate photography, as it allows quick and precise angle adjustments. We recommend two geared heads: the Manfrotto 410 Junior and the Benro GD3WH 3-Way. While both are excellent choices, the Manfrotto stands out for its durability and easy repairability.
