The MindBite Insight (Episode #4 - Tripods)

Posted by Keith · February 26th, 2008

As with all things created, a stable structure must be formed upon a solid foundation. Such is true with your education, hence the existence of these little video tutorials, as well as your shot. So this week, the MindBite Insight discusses the benefits and utilization of Tripods.

A word synonymous with stabilization, tripods are invaluable to the photographer and/or videographer. The steady, smooth look one gains with tripod usage provides for a professionalism absent among hand held shooting. Though most everyone is acquainted with the standard tripod arrangement, there are important, yet subtle nuances, to each component that may slip past the neophyte’s notice. And thus we are here, to probe, dissect, and detail every inch of the tripod, so that your understanding of the tool has, at its roots, a solid foundation.

You can read his full post at his UCHobby blog, but the basic gist is that he attached an inexpensive digital camcorder to the swing arm he removed from a desk lamp to create a neat mount he can easily rotate around his worktable.
