Selecting a Tripod Part #5 - Learn more about How A Tripod Operates... Great for New Photographers.

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.

I am not certain if all tripod heads can be mounted on any tripod; I think that all of the tripods that I can remember seeing have simular sized threads...

You could ask the manufacturer of the tripod head, or; perhaps the sales person at the shop for the information you require.

Note: I dont think that you will have any problems if you decide to purchase a manfrotto tripod head.

Good Luck with your purchase...

Kind Regards

@ironian24: electronic level does not replaces bubbles. It measures only in one of axes...

[ironian24]

dont need the spirit level as the canon 7d has an internal digital leveler which is pretty cool.

eliminates the excess cost in a tripod with levels .

lucky me.......
