Camera Tripods
A tripod is a sure-fire way to improve the quality of your photography immediately, by keeping your camera perfectly still while taking the shot. The tripods in this section can also be used for spotting scopes, binoculars (with the addition of a binocular tripod adapter), video cameras, and even small telescopes for daytime observing.
Pay attention to the tripod weight capacity to help you decide how heavy-duty your choice needs to be to handle your optical equipment. Most tripods can be adjusted in height by either extending the legs or cranking the center column up or down. Pick a tripod that will be comfortable for the height of the user when the telescope, spotting scope or camera is added on top of the tripod.
