	Tripod, Camera Tripod, Tripods, Bogen Tripods, Monopod
		A birding tripod is a compromise of weight versus stability, and between compactness and height.
		Experienced birders look for compact, easy to transport tripods that are tall enough for comfort during extended use and have independently adjustable legs for uneven terrain.
		Bogen tripods and tripod heads provide stability and resistance to wind vibration and are popular with experienced birders as well as those seeking top quality camera tripods.

	The Tripods - SciFi TV
		In 1984, the BBC decided to produce a series based on a trilogy of novels by John Christopher, collectively known as The Tripods.
		The boys discover that the Tripods are merely machines built to convey an alien race known as the Masters.
		It seems that at first their intentions were to control the violent tendencies of the human race through the capping process, but as time went on, they changed their plans and began working to eventually terraform Earth to make it compatible for the Masters to colonize, which would wipe out the human race.

	Tripods & Monopods
		For quality tripods you almost always have to find a large store in a metropolitan area or shop over the Internet at a place such as B and H Photo Video.
		Tripods and monopods almost always have a threaded screw sticking through the top platform that you use to attach a camera, head, or quick release system.
		The problem is cameras and tripods occasionally have different connectors; a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 (the fraction is the diameter and the whole number is the number of threads per inch).

	Tripod (The War of the Worlds) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tripods or fighting-machines are a type of fictional three-legged walker from the H.
		Additionally, the tripods have a tentacle used as a pipette to drain human blood, which is then sprayed as fertilizer to aid the spread of the red weed.
		The main feature of these tripods is a large arm that is extended from the base of the tripod's head and used to lift humans into the head, predominately for the purposes of capping.

	The Tripods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story of the Tripods is post-apocalyptic: Humanity has fallen into an age of social stagnation, with technology in decay, and the population living in a society reminiscent of the 1700s, or even the Middle Ages.
		Will and Fritz are taken by a Tripod, which they discover to be a machine, to the Tripod city, which is located in a sealed, pressurized dome that sits astride a river (presumably the Rhine) somewhere in northwestern Europe.
		When the Tripods Came is actually a prequel written twenty years after the publication of the original "trilogy", allegedly because science fiction author Brian Aldiss questioned the story of The Masters being able to overcome 20th century technology.

	Tripods: A Multiplayer Google Maps Game
		Tripods needs a bit of processing power and bandwidth to keep going, so if you'd consider clicking the friendly button and dropping something into the tip jar, it'd be appreciated.
		Tripods was made by Thomas Scott, who also does silly things with ninjas, pirates and ringtones.
		You and the tripods move at the same speed, but the tripods' movement is more erratic — they take time to respond.

	Tripods
		The tripod had to be stable with a 35mm camera/heavy 300mm lens attached.
		The Bogen 3221 (aluminum) tripod is a good starting point, and if you want to spend some major initial cash on camera/lens support gear, you would do well to spend a minimum on the Bogen tripod, but spend more on a nice ball head and custom mounting plates.
		I certainly endorse the notion that a tripod can be a once in a lifetime investment for the serious amateur photographer and thus you have to keep that factor in mind when debating (1) cost and (2) capability.

	CameraHobby - e-Book on Tripods and Heads, Chapter 7
		Gitzo tripods are quite stiff to spread apart compared to Manfrotto tripods but this is a good thing actually, as you do not want a tripod to be easily splayed or compacted, especially when heavy loads on sitting atop of it.
		Gitzo tripods require the user to pull a tab outward to spread the legs apart and this is not exactly the easiest thing to do even in warm weather without gloves on your hands.
		My educated guess about wood tripods is that they act similarly to channel or tune vibration from the camera equipment to the tripod and ultimately to an even more massive entity, the ground the tripod is sitting on.

	Epinions.com - Choosing a Tripod: The Real Deal
		My general rule about using a tripod is this: if I am putting my time into careful composition, exposure calculation, selecting the depth of field to be used, filtration and all the other aspects which go into making a good image, using a tripod is a must.
		Bogen tripods use either a flip lock lever or a thumb screw to allow the legs to extend (some models are fancier and have an "automatic" mechanisim, but in general they are too large and heavy for 35mm photography).
		Most tripods purchased by consumers require that a screw on the tripod head be screwed into a hole in the bottom plate of the camera.

		The Tripods was the BBC's adaptation of John Christopher's trilogy of children's novels about a group of young people joining up with rebels in the fight to rid Earth of an alien race which has enslaved humanity.
		Foreboding and spooky, the theme from The Tripods still manages to evoke a noble sense of hope, particularly with regard to the version used over the end credits which had more of a stately, march-like rhythm.
		The music from The Tripods came several years later, and is one of the earliest things anyone ever heard coming out of a Synclavier.

	Gitzo tripods, good portable tripods for expeditions.

		I believe it was a BogenImaging tripod that Michael Collette uses (Better Light) and thus the tripod that took the first rollout of a Maya vase in digital format (along with a Gitzo--the setup requires two tripods, one for the camera, another for the camera).

		In 1984 and 1985, The Tripods was the show that the BBC used to fill its traditional Saturday teatime Doctor Who slot.
		Adapted from the first two books in John Christopher's "Tripods" trilogy, the show frustratingly failed to deliver the final story that winds everything up.
		Watched at a sitting, it seems padded and the three lead actors are variable, but taken in single-episode chunks it works quite well, with a subtly unsettling depiction of a backward world where everyone seems happy but actually isn't and actual villainy comes as a relief amidst the overwhelming niceness.

	The Tripods by Ken Freeman
		“The Tripods” was a revolutionary cult TV series by the BBC, based on the science-fiction books by John Christopher.
		Although basically works for children, I enjoy both the show and the books now as I did in the late 80s, when German television (ZDF) aired the frightening vision of a future world, where mankind has been enslaved by extraterrestrial tripod entities but seems to live a normal medieval life.
		Some of the existing special sound effects happen to be Tripod howls, by the way.
