Why do I need a tripod?

A tripod is very useful for shooting stable images.
Using a tripod means you don't have to focus on the position of your camera or smartphone, but only on what you want to capture. Tripods are also useful when shooting video: using them prevents camera shake.
Images. If you only want to focus on the photos and videos themselves, and no longer worry about whether the footage is stable, it's helpful to buy a tripod!

Which tripod do I need?

There are many different tripods, from small to
Large, from light to heavy. It also depends on what you're shooting with: are you using your phone or a (video) camera? These are all important factors in determining which tripod you need.

Looking for a versatile tripod that can be used in almost any situation? Then all-around tripods are the best choice. You can use them for both shooting with your phone and with your camera.
Camera. They're a bit bigger and heavier, but that makes them more stable. These tripods are easy to set up at many different heights, meaning you can always get the best shots!

Do you only use your phone while filming? Then it's best to buy a phone tripod. These tripods have a different head, allowing you to easily attach your phone to the tripod. However, you'll find that many other tripods are also available for your phone, provided you have the right adapter.
I notice that for people who film exclusively with their phone, it is useful if you can also use the tripod as a selfie stick, normal tripods do not have this.

Want to mount your GoPro or other action cam on a tripod? You'll often need an adapter because the connection is different from most cameras.
Fortunately, there are also tripods specifically designed for GoPros, with a built-in mount. We also find that users of these types of tripods often want to capture a lot of action footage, so it's helpful if the tripod can withstand a few knocks.

Do you primarily take photos with a camera? Then you'll need a sturdy tripod. Since a camera is somewhat heavier, tripods are also somewhat sturdier. They're a bit heavier to transport, but they are also sturdier and more stable for capturing the best images you can with a camera!

Are you on the go and creating travel content? Or are you looking to buy a tripod for your child? Then a mini tripod is the best option for you! These are smaller and lighter tripods, ideal for taking anywhere! They're also quick to set up and take down: perfect for capturing footage on the go.
