	Tripod (photography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tripod, in the context of photography, is a three-legged stand for a camera, used to stabilize and elevate the camera.
		A tripod of some sort is often necessary for professional photography as well as certain video uses; HDTV video in particular, due to peculiarities inherent in the MPEG-2 algorithms used, tends to be almost unwatchable without some sort of stabilization.
		At the top of the tripod is the head, which includes the camera mount (usually detachable with a thumbscrew to hold onto the camera), several joints to allow the camera to pan and tilt, and usually a handle to allow the operator to do so without jostling the camera.

	How To Use A Monopod & Multi-Purpose Tripod (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		OTG Digital Photography is not possible without the monopod with a flexible ball head that allows the desired camera orientation needed to produce all types of photographs.
		The monopod is not considered a replacement for the tripod as the tripod will always be steadier for taking photographs.
		Another advantage of the Multi-Purpose Tripod is that it can be placed on the ground, on boulders, on a fence, etc. to produce a very stable tripod if a longer shutter speed is necessary or multiple panoramic landscape photographs are needed.

		Photography of some weather subjects requires a tripod-mounted camera: lightning, aurora, noctilucent clouds, mesospheric clouds, sunsets and twilight colors, the sun and moon, green flash, zodiacal light, star trails, macro photography and all nighttime photography can only be done well with some sort of tripod.
		Wooden theodolite tripods are an excellent choice for telescopic weather photography such as the sun's green flash and mirages.

	How to Choose a Tripod - PopPhoto - August 2001
		At best, any tripod is a compromise between size, weight, flexibility, convenience, and cost: the secret is to settle on a model that is as compatible with your needs as possible.
		One of the unfortunate rules of photography is that the weight of a tripod is proportional to its stability.
		Ideally, a large telephoto should have its own tripod socket so that the lens is mounted on the tripod while the camera body is mounted on the lens.) Look for a platform about four to six inches in area—say, 2x2 or 2x3 inches.

		Luckily, funds were a bit short at the time and spending $800 on a tripod was out of the question (not to mention $8K for a 600mm lens).
		I took this tripod with me on a trip to Mexico and found it very easy to pack (it was small enough to pack into our hard sided suitcase) and carry.
		If you are looking for a great affordable tripod and don't carry any really heavy glass (a 400mm f2.8 would probably be a bit heavy for this tripod) I definitely recommend the Bogen 3021.

	alexking.org: Photography > Buying a Tripod
		After using both tripods several times, I had learned that I don't like the twist locks that the Gitzo uses to lock the legs into place - but other than that, the experience was pretty much as expected: there are tradeoffs in stability and portability.
		I found some information on a tripod from Velbon that was supposed to be very light and portable.
		I noticed right away that this tripod didn't have the ability to spread the legs wide to set up the camera low to the ground and having recently taken some ground level shots I thought this was something I'd probably use.

		Tripods with a tiltable middle column were not in my price nor weight range.
		The one thing that can sometimes help in for instance macro photography is a tripod that allows you to put the camera in UNDER the tripod.

	Tripod? - Canon Digital Photography Forums
		Since using the center column to adjust height is the sure mark of a fool, you have to adjust all three legs to raise or lower the camera.
		Part of the reasons that tripods have such shortcomings is that they are engineered to weigh less than 250 lbs.
		There are also MANY more expensive tripods out there that you might like better than this one (and I own one), but this is my workhorse and I won't give it up.

	Nature Photography Forum: Bogen tripod recommendation
		This tripod, while not as high in quality as some other very expensive tripods (some of which I also own) is a very good value.
		I looked carefully and suspiciously at a second tripod for field work.(capitalist pig!) Checked out Bogen's models 3021 and 3001, and decided they were sort of OK, -reasonable price, but not ideal for packing in the field.
		You will use the tripod when Canon introduces its EOS Model Alpha Centauri-1, with digital images, stabilizer, and brainwave focusing in 2002, so it is a decision worth pondering.

	Monopods in Photography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		One leg of the tripod unscrews and mates with the removable center column to form a monopod with a mini-ball mount.
		Stability is a problem with the head on a tripod (particularly heavy loads on vertical, but if they are that heavy, the lens probably has a rotatable tripod collar), but with a monopod I don't find that a problem at all since the monopod doesn't allow that slow shooting anyway.
		One is to pretend it's a tripod; place it's base about 18" away from you and have the monopod lean towards you, which placing your legs on either side of the imaginary triangle your legs and monopod will create.

	Virtual Reality Photography - Case Study: VR Pan Head Review (Peace River Studios, Kaidan, Manfrotto)
		However, if your camera has its tripod socket aligned directly under the center of the lens mount, you can remove the top assembly of the Manfrotto head (which is used only for camera offset) and reduce its total weight to 3 lbs.
		Even though the tripod head may be perfectly level, the camera itself may not be vertical if there is too much flex in the brackets holding the camera.
		The Kaidan QPIII head is designed to attach to a tripod with a 3/8”-16 mount, but comes with a brass insert that converts this to a 1/4”-20 thread, if desired.
