Photographers Talk about Tripods

“You are buying it to eliminate vibration and create a steady platform.”

“A tripod is one of the major investments you will make, my suggestion is by the best that you can afford.”

“Problems caused by a cheap tripod can cost you much more in the long run, in wasted film, missed opportunities and even damaged equipment.”
