Tripods and Tripod Heads<br />

by Philip Greenspun<br />

You can judge how good a bunch <strong>of</strong><br />

photographers are by what they are talking<br />

about.<br />

Really bad photographers debate the merits <strong>of</strong><br />

the Nikon F4 and the Canon EOS-1.<br />

Somewhat better photographers debate the<br />

merits <strong>of</strong> the Yashica T4 and the Contax T2.<br />

The best photographers, though, talk tripods, tripod heads, and quick releases.<br />

A tripod is at once a photographer's best friend and worst encumbrance. It<br />

somehow seems that one is forever lugging tripods around and adjusting them and<br />

yet never has the right one when needed. Most serious photographers own several<br />

tripods and heads.<br />
