Photography FAQ: What type of tripod should i buy?

More articles by »
Written by: Lawrence


There are many different types of tripods out there. You need to carefully identify which type of tripod works with the type of photography you shoot.

In all honesty, the first thing I did was take down the tripods my favorite photographers use. I then filter the photographers with my similar style. Once I identified the tripod that matches my style, I conducted further research. The research consists of reading multiple reviews on various reputable photography websites. Make sure you also check out forums discussing the selected tripod as you get the most candid of reviews on the forums.

I hope the filtering process discussed above helps you locate the type of tripod perfect for you. The process above helped me with the selection of the Manfrotto 055MF4 and the Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head.

As a weekend photographer, I found myself with limited time and limited resources in terms of expanding my photographic ability due to my career. Like many weekend photography warriors, there are only 2 hours on the weekdays and maybe 8 hours or so total on the weekend to learn and grow. These time constraints is what motivated me into creating this online photography resource. I needed a photography hub where all the information I referred to is stored in one easy to navigate online location. I see this more of my online repository of photography information gathered through time. I am very proud of the success of my blog offering of "Photographer Interview Series". You will read in-depth interviews from the photography world's famous photographers. Names like David Tejada, Nick Onken, Michael Grecco and David Bean to name a few. The interview series has also expanded to include weekend photographers and now wedding photographers with the similar goal of learning from each other. My goal is to evolve this site to be the premier go to resource for photographer interviews and equipment reviews.
