Can I use a tripod for macro shooting?

Macro photography is an area that many photographers will involve. Is it necessary to use a tripod for macro shooting? There are many brands of tripods on the market, so which tripod is more suitable for macro shooting? Next, we will introduce it in detail!

Macro photography usually requires a tripod. Why? Because of the large magnification of macro lens, it is usually necessary to be very close to the subject when shooting. The focal length of the macro lens is about 100mm, so it is difficult to stabilize the picture by hand shooting. Even if the stabilizer is used, it is inevitable that blur will appear when shooting close-range macro subjects, because the jitter effect is amplified. In addition, the macro theme usually needs to narrow the aperture to obtain a larger depth of field because of its shallow depth of field. In terms of balanced exposure, the shutter speed may not be adjusted too high, which may also lead to blurring.

Therefore, it is often necessary to stabilize the camera itself when shooting macro subjects, which requires the use of a tripod.
