Camera tripods are a vital piece of equipment to a photographer’s arsenal when looking to slow down shutter speeds, or when the photographer is also the model! This article lists 4 great camera tripods that will help you steady your shot.
Amazon Basics 60-Inch Lightweight Tripod with Bag
The Amazon Basics Tripod is a great option for those looking for a value tripod. At 60 inches, this is definitely large enough for most cameras (supporting cameras and video cameras up to 3kgs in weight) but it retains a light feel to it due to its material. Other features include a 3 way pan head with bubble level and a quick-release mountaing plate.
Manfrotto MKCOMPACTACN-BK
The Manfrotto Tripod is a great mid-tier option. Manfrotto is a renowned brand so you know you’re getting good quality. I actually own a Manfrotto tripod and I can confirm that it’s lightweight but sturdy, and can be easily folded down to fit inside a backpack. The aluminium material feels reliable and it comes with a padded carrying bag which is always useful.
Camera Tripod Monopod ARTCISE 82.6″/210cm
The ARTCISE Tripod is another mid-tier option that prides itself on quality and value for money. The max load on this is a substantial 15kg and so it will support even the heavier professional video cameras. It comes with an adjustable ballhead and a detachable tripod leg. Despite it’s size it can be folded up to fit into a backpack.
GEEKOTO Carbon Fiber Tripod, Camera Tripod and Monopod
Last but certainly not least, we have the premium tier GEEKOTO Carbon Fiber Tripod. Being made from carbon fiber allows this tripod to be lighter AND more durable than a regular aluminium or plastic tripod. This tripod has 4-section column legs with a locking system to adjust the height. The metal ball head can rotate 360 degrees and the bubble head ensures precision. The storage size of this tripod is just 19 inches and weighs 3.4 pounds.
