• A local professional camera or video store CAUTION ABOUT TRIPODS Note specifically that tripod mounting of the camera is NOT RECOM- MENDED. This is because tripod adjustments, particularly leg locking mechanisms, can loosen and become unstable. Tripods can also be jostled or moved easily since they are generally not secured to a surface.
