A handy travel tripod from Manfrotto. First, why does a photographer need a tripod? Because otherwise you get camera shake.
Even if you know to hold a camera steady, you may want somebody in the audience to photograph you. For example, when you are with a friend on holiday. Or on business if you meet a VIP colleague, to record shaking hands on a contract, for the company newsletter or local newspaper.
You might be performing on stage, prearranged. Or you might volunteer from the audience suddenly. A bystander might not hold the camera as steadily as you would.
So you need a tripod. There are plenty. Smaller ones with thinner legs are inclined to tip over. You may already have one. I do, somewhere. But I don't use mine because it tips over and risks damaging my camera, delaying me, unnerving me, fails to take the picture.
What's good about the new Manfrotto model?
1This one is good for placing on tables and other flat surfaces. It has fat curved legs you can grip.
2 The legs are curved designed to be gripped so you can hold the camera in the air by the tripod.
3 You can rest the base of the legs against your chest.
Price? About £20. The postage might vary depending on where you are located.
