The highly developed tripods enable more precise image composition and offer optimum stability. This makes detailed time-lapse photography, effective exposure bracketing and impressive macro shots effortless. Depending on which techniques and photo locations one prefers, different tripod types and tripod head types, for example made of aluminum, carbon or wood, come into question. Flexible and ultra-light tripods from Joby Gorillapod, for example, are the ideal solution for active vacation photographers. They can be set up on almost any surface, stored in a space-saving manner and are individually adjustable.
Monopods consist of a screw connection for the camera or a tripod head and the extendable telescopic leg. These tripods give the complete system flexible and stable support, which is why they are particularly suitable for shooting moving objects, such as in sports photography.
A tripod is used when using long focal lengths or in macro photography, when absolute low vibration is essential. Easy-to-use 2- or 3-way panheads and ball heads make camera alignment a breeze.
For indoor shoots, light stands are ideal. They provide the perfect illumination for individual expressiveness and authentic moods in the picture. shoulder tripods are the right choice for mobile photographers, for example for interviews and event documentation. So-called hovering tripodse additionally isolate the camera from external movements, so that grandiose action shots or lively animal documentations with seemingly "flying" camera movement can be achieved. Innovative video heads, for example from Manfrotto, can be combined with all photo tripods and ensure safe panning and precise tilting movements during shoots. The selfie sticks, especially popular with the younger generation, for example from Benro, are also available in various designs. The diverse product range of quality tripods is just as suitable for the ambitious recreational photographer looking for an inexpensive all-round solution as it is for the successful commercial photographer.
