Tripod for camera

A good tripod is a long-term joy for a photographer. A light but sturdy tripod is a must-have for traveling and allows for longer exposures as well as landscape photography that requires sharpness. A tripod is also useful for night photography when nature is at its most beautiful, i.e. in the twilight of morning and evening.

Choosing a tripod according to your needs

If you want a small and sturdy tripod, you need to get two. At least this is the case, but it can be difficult to properly support a small tripod intended for low-light use and the heavier equipment of an amateur.

Manufacturers often state the load capacity, which is often around ten kilos, but this figure does not tell you how well the tripod will work with these weights.

A camera that is too heavy for the tripod's capabilities can make the whole thing very shaky and prone to accidents. A careful photographer will also notice the sharpness of the photos if the tripod cannot dampen small vibrations in time. This can be prevented by using a self-timer.

Usability is also important, and proper leg locks last a long time and remain tight year after year.

The weight of the tripod and the number of telescopes on the legs can be used to determine the stability of the tripod. The fewer parts there are in the leg and if there is weight, the tripod is probably stable.

Carbon fiber stand or aluminum stand

Carbon fiber tripods are more expensive than aluminum ones due to the more complicated manufacturing process. But a carbon fiber tripod has big benefits: lighter weight and a stiffer structure, which means better load capacity.

The stiffness is especially noticeable when shooting long exposures and when using a long telephoto lens or telescope. The image of a telescope will stabilize faster on a good carbon fiber tripod than on an aluminum one. This directly affects viewing comfort.

Tripod for phones

There are small tripods for smartphones and other mobile devices that are similar to a table stand . But the most versatile solution is to attach your phone to a regular tripod. This way, your phone will stay firmly in place and you can lift it much higher.

Tripods for video shooting

When shooting video, the most important thing is a sturdy tripod. Video tripods are often heavy and this is only useful when panning, for example, to prevent the tripod from moving. Traditional professional tripods have a bowl that allows you to quickly straighten the horizon of the video camera.

For example, Manfrotto has released several models with a flat mount, so all tripod heads can be used directly with these.

Tripod head - options for mounting the camera on a tripod

Almost all tripods in the range have the same 3/8' screw for attaching the tripod head. This means you can combine tripods and tripod heads from different manufacturers!
