A tripod is one of the most important pieces of gear that you should own and use as a photographer. Yet I see so many photographers struggle to choose the right tripod and even worse not use them properly or even worse yet - not use them when they should be using them. So in this two part video set I am going to demystify tripods and give you 10 awesome tripod tips and help you choose the right tripod for your photography.

There are many different kinds of tripods. For the most part we can divide them into five basic groups. Pocket tripods are usually less than 6 inches collapsed. A pocket tripod will easily fit into a bag or waist-pack and they are very handy when you don't not want carry something bigger and heavier. Pocket tripods will support the weight of a smartphone or compact digital camera. Tabletop tripods are excellent for situations where the camera and tripod can be placed on a small flat surface. Their light, small, and easy to pack so they're great for travel. Travel Tripods will usually bring your camera to just shy of eye level, but collapse to an easy-to-carry size. Travel tripods will support a digital or film SLR with a kit lens, or even a modest zoom lens. Medium Duty Tripods like the ones made by Benro fill the gap between lightweight travel tripods and heavier studio tripods. The big advantage over travel tripods is that most medium duty models reach eye level or higher, they are heavier and therefore even sturdier - hence much better when image sharpness is critical. Studio Tripods are very sturdy and usually designed to fit a specific need. They are big, sometimes immovable and nearly always used with a specialized head. They are designed to handle medium and large-format cameras.

There are eight features or characteristics that are common to pretty much all tripods. The more you understand these characteristics - the easier it will be to select the perfect tripod for your needs. Collapsed Size is how long the tripod measures with everything folded up. This is important if you are traveling or need to pack the tripod in a bag, camera case or suit case. Maximum Height Extension is how tall the tripod will stand with the center column and every leg fully extended. The Maximum Load Capacity is the heaviest camera and lens combination the tripod or tripod head can handle. If you put a camera that's heavier than the Maximum Load Capacity on a tripod, you run the risk of it breaking or collapsing and causing damage. So, it's important to know how much your camera weighs with its heaviest lens and any accessories, and then buy a tripod that will handle them. The weight is simply how much the tripod weighs. Head Type – There are basically three types of tripod heads. Ballheads are very popular, but in addition to ball heads you can go with gimbals or pan-tilt heads.
