Selecting a Camera Tripod - Bonus #1 - Discover if your camera the correct size for your tripod?

http://www.clickherephotographytips.com Camera tripods had been used the decades to assist photographers with creating their very unique images. I tripod is an essential item that every photographer should have regardless of the level of experience as they offer support for the camera and they can be used in varying degrees of lighting for example at night, or; for landscape photography

Not all tripods are created the same, as there are many different varieties of tripod. Some of these include a mini tripod, Compact tripod and professional tripod for studio or location work. As tripods are different also are some tripod heads, for example some tripod heads are used in the television and movie industries to provide support to their very heavy equipment. Other tripod heads are designed to support a variety of different cameras, everything from smaller compact digital cameras, 35mm cameras, digital cameras and medium format cameras all the way up to large format cameras.

I have also seen tripods that are used to support other items such as overhead projectors, slide projectors, video cameras, binoculars and telescopes.

Tripods are manufactured by a variety of companies some of these include Manfrotto, Velbon, Gitzo, Bogen, Slik, Dynatran etc and each provide somewhat similar functions.

Thank you for the comment...

Unfortunately, I am not certain which camera you are referring to?

I did have the tripod base plate attached to the only section of either camera that was available

I am not certain as to why the cameras are designed in this way, perhaps the camera manufacturers could explain the reasoning for this?

Thanks Again...

Regards

Dean.

you got the question the wrong way around ITS is a tripod the right size for your camera..... You don't buy a Camera for your Tripod as for a camera too small for a tripod, If you can fit it and it hold the camera still its doing what you want....
