I like that I can keep my old camera&nbsp;screwed into it and don't use if for anything else. I keep it handy in a spot&nbsp;so WIW pictures are easy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1153442 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:31:41 +0000 April 1153442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a 1920s radiator cover. &nbsp;It's highly stable, in front of a window,&nbsp;and happens to be the right height for "headless" photos. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1151621 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 22:40:07 +0000 Liz 1151621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rebekah, thanks for the recommendations.

Carbon fiber is also nice &amp; super lightweight, but really only necessary if you want to go traveling with it.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/480322-REG/Manfrotto_190XPROB_Pro_Aluminum_Tripod.html">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/.....ripod.html</a></p> <p>this is also a nice one, but more expensive....it can be a very slippery and expensive slope to go down with camera gear&nbsp;as you know!&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/505879-REG/Manfrotto_055XPROB_808RC4_055XPROB_Pro_Tripod_Legs.html"><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/505879-REG/Manfrotto_055XPROB_808RC4_055XPROB_Pro_Tripod_Legs" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/.....ripod_Legs</a>.</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1151127 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 12:11:38 +0000 Liz 1151127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the feedback, ladies. I appreciate it. Irene, I think a monster is what I'm after. I'm rather tough on my 50D. ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1151118 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 11:45:14 +0000 Irene 1151118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this monster: <a href="http://www.georges.com.au/index.php/tripods-monopods-and-heads/shop-by-categories/tripods/velbon-camera-tripod-cx-660.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.georges.com.au/inde.....velbon-cam</a></p> <p>But then I use it for personal self-portraits (or so I like to think) and have a quite heavy Canon 50D to put on top of it. <br />I have to say this one is very practical, with a release platform so that you don't have to ¿screw? the camera every time. Mine is usually attached to the body 24/7. <br />It's also pretty lightweight, sturdy and you can adjust every bit of it to your liking.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1151037 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 05:11:36 +0000 JAileen 1151037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband says you can have cheap, lightweight, stable- choose two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1150985 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:52:51 +0000 annagybe 1150985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go to Yelp, find a local highly rated camera store. Bring your camera and possibly lens.<br />You want probably want durable if you are going to use for personal projects. Do you go outdoors? There are tripods that are lightweight for backpacking, etc.<br />Plus if you go to a store, you can test it, see if it is really truly easy to use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1150974 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:46:39 +0000 carter 1150974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tripod?

It can handle my 3/4's but probably not a full blown DSLR.<br />I spent about $100. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-kind-of-tripod-do-you-have#post-1150935 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:23:15 +0000 Liz 1150935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, this is how it starts. The slippery slope toward posting WIW pics is paved with photographic equipment geekery. At least for me.&nbsp;I haven't used a tripod since mine broke three moves ago. I'm willing to spend a bit in order to have a solid tripod -- and I'd love to hear any recommendations or warnings you might have based on your tripod experience. (Gosh, I'm cringing a bit at the phrase "tripod experience," b/c it sounds like a Cirque du Soleil production or some punishing workout series advertised on&nbsp;late-night television.) </p> <p>In any case, I'll use the tripod often --&nbsp;for my&nbsp;personal photography work as well as WIW shots AND my husband's b-day present... which would be self-portraits sent to him. (He's working in Turkey til May and I'm in Texas.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Please ladies, don't make me go to those scary photographic equipment review sites. Tell me what tripod you use and if you like it. And if you happen to be a schoolmarm type (you know who you are) then feel free to ask me how the self portraits are coming along. Sometimes I need MUCH prodding. Thanks!!&nbsp; </p>
