What is a tripod?

The main function of tripod is to stabilize the camera to achieve some photographic effects.

Tripod can be divided into wood, high-strength plastic, alloy, steel, volcanic rock, carbon fiber and so on. The most common material is aluminum alloy, and the advantages of aluminum alloy tripod are light weight and firmness. The latest tripod is made of carbon fiber, which has the advantages of better toughness and lighter weight than aluminum alloy. People who often take pictures with their tripods on their backs attach great importance to the weight of tripods, hoping that the lighter the better.

Precautions:

If you use a SLR camera, you'd better use the camera's reflector pre-lift function. With this function, the reflector of the camera will rise ahead of time, instead of turning when the shutter is pressed, which can prevent the internal vibration of the camera caused by the turning of the reflector and avoid the camera shake caused by the internal vibration.

Keep the tripod connected rigidly and stably: To use a tripod connected with a rigid structure, lock and fix the tripod head, three-dimensional locking button, telescopic leg and auxiliary bracket, otherwise the shaking tripod will also cause image pasting.
