A camera tripod is a three-legged stand designed to stabilize cameras and other equipment for photography and videography. It helps reduce camera shake, allowing for clearer images, especially in low-light conditions or when using long exposure times. Tripods come in various sizes and materials, catering to different needs and preferences. Most tripods feature adjustable legs and a head that allows for tilting and panning. Some models are lightweight and portable, making them ideal for travel, while others are sturdier for studio use. Accessories like quick-release plates and bubble levels enhance functionality, ensuring precise framing and stability during shoots.
