Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight capacity do I actually need?

A good rule of thumb is to choose a tripod rated for at least 2-3 times the weight of your heaviest camera and lens combination. This provides adequate stability margin and accounts for wind loads or accidental bumps during shooting.

Are expensive professional tripods worth the investment?

Professional tripods are built for heavy daily use and typically last many years with proper care. If you're earning income from photography/video or have invested significantly in camera gear, a quality tripod protects that investment and improves your work quality.

What's the difference between photo and video tripods?

Video tripods often feature larger leg diameters, more robust construction, and are optimized for use with fluid heads. Photo tripods may prioritize lighter weight and faster setup. However, many professional tripods work well for both applications depending on your head choice.

Should I buy the legs and head separately?

Professional users often buy legs and heads separately to get the exact combination they need. This allows you to match the head type (ball, pan-tilt, fluid) to your shooting style and upgrade components independently as needs change.
