Anyone serious about good quality camera work must understand the importance of the tripod. Almost all types of video work require a tripod at some stage.

A tripod consists of a head and a set of legs. Usually these are separate components although consumer-level tripods are normally shipped with the head and legs already attached together.

Legs come in many varieties, the main differences being in their height, weight and general sturdiness.

Important task! Look after and keep DV Types carefully!
