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.
Thanks for the comment…
I have friends that work or have worked in the television industry, I am aware that these cameras (Betacams) are much larger than modern video cameras…
I have also noticed that some television programs, particuarly reality programs and childrens relevision hows on occasions will use smaller cameras (not Betacams) that have the ability to produce broadcast quality images.
Thanks for your comment, Ihope that this clarifies things better.
