Camera Tripod
PhotographyPicking a tripod is like selecting a camera. You must decide what type of photography you are planning to pursue. A studio photographer's needs are different from a natural photographer. An amateur photographer may only need an inexpensive utility tripod whereas a professional may spend a great deal of money on numerous tripods to match his or her needs.
Questions You need to Consider
How much do I want to spend?
What do I want to do with the tripod?
How much weight will it need to support?
Will it be used for video or still photography?
Is weight important to you?
Do I want a basic tripod or one with additional features such as a quick release?*
How high do I want the tripod to go?
Am I planning to spread the legs for ground-level shooting?
* Good idea is to buy an extra quick release. Buyer Guides: Tripods
