Tripods, Monopods and Heads

Tripods - the original image stabilization. The number one tip for extra sharp images is to have your camera mounted on a stable support. A good tripod will be able to hold the full weight of a camera and lens with the tripod's head locked in any position. A good tripod damps vibration quickly preventing the rumble of a near by city bus from causing image blur. Lightweight materials have made tripods from Manfrotto, Promaster and other manufacturers less bulky and easier to carry than ever before. Tamrac's novel Zip-Shot tripod redefines the travel tripod category.

Photographers who shoot large and heavy lenses such as 300mmm f2.8's or 200-500mm zoom lenses favor tripods made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber tripods weigh much less than their aluminum counterparts while maintaining a rigid and shake-free support. Family and hobby photographers love the affordable innovations from Promaster. The Featherweight series is a light as the name suggests while the Speedi-Lift series saves on bulk while allowing lightening fast height adjustment. Can't take a tripod everywhere you go?

Monopods are ideal for those time you must sit with others in the stands during a sporting event. The single leg of a monopod supports the camera and keeps blur caused by hand tremor or movement to a minimum. Monopods are also the perfect hiking companion too! Have questions?
