Choosing the right tripod or monopod might be much less daunting than using one. In fact, it does not even parallel with how important tripods and monopods are for professional photographers.
When you are a professional looking for rock-solid support and vital panning shots, having a DSLR camera stand makes your life better. It offers flexible movements with much more fluidity and ease.
Tripods vs Monopods
The first equipment that you should add to your kit when you begin photography is a tripod stand for DSLRs. A tripod will limit your shakes. A tripod’s design means that you can set your camera and walk away. Do the same with a monopod and your camera will eat dust in no time.
Also known as unipods, a professional camera monopod is more mobile than a tripod. You can follow action much faster with a monopod. The speed is not only limited to mobility but also with respect to folding and unfolding of the leg. The single-leg model takes up less space making it easier to shoot in crowded places.
A professional tripod and a professional monopod offer more support than shooting handheld alone. Both of these equipment offers a variety of style and different types to shoot in different environments.
Pocket tripods
Typically, pocket tripods are only 4-8 inches tall. They are designed and optimized for portability. These tripods do not extend vertically. The height of these tripods entirely depends upon where you rest the tripod. Pocket tripods are also used as desk tripods for DSLRs and phone cameras.
Studio tripods
Studio tripods are the best professional tripods to use. Although they are strong, solid, and perfectly designed it is not the greatest of gear to have if you travel often for your work.
Three-footed monopod
In a line-up of various models of monopods, you will find a three-footed monopod to best suit all your needs. It offers you mobility, speed, and flexibility. At the same time, it provides you with an ample amount of stability. These are the best monopods for photography if you can’t often decide between what you want to capture.
Suction-cup monopod
To upgrade your gear and extend the use of your monopod DSLR camera a suction cup mount will be of great help. They are easy to use and provides high-quality shots when used with action cameras. The strong suction force of the cup makes it compatible to use on a car windshield, glassware, window, or any other smooth surface.
