A three-legged stand for a camera, enabling photographers to take clearer photos and use longer exposures.
Light tripods are useful in being more portable, but can suffer the disadvantage of limited sturdiness. A compromise needs to be reached between strength and weight.
An extremely portable, small tripod, which can be used with compact cameras to take photos from a table or flat surface.
Tripod which allows photographers to independently control each of the camera's two axes of rotation: left-right (yaw) and up/down (pitch). Excellent for quick shifts in composition, but less useful ...
A camera tripod with just one leg, monopods are excellent for fast-moving subjects, but cannot support heavy cameras.
A small, portable tripod, which can sometimes be fitted in a pocket. Mini tripods generally have no extendible legs.
Better but more expensive than aluminum, carbon fiber tripods are strong and good at absorbing vibrations.
