Shop Samy's selection of tripod kits to set up and shoot great photos right out of the box. Tripods can make an enormous difference in your photography. With the stability of a tripod, you can slow your shutter speed and get pictures not possible when shooting by hand. Longer exposure time allows more light into your camera and you can get crisp, clear photos without a flash. Any sort of movement in your camera during one of these shots will result in a blurry image, and that's where a quality tripod kit comes in.
Often separately, these complete tripods come with both a tripod and a tripod head. Some factors to consider when choosing a tripod kit include material, weight, and stability. Tripod legs come in a variety of materials, and this impacts their weight and stability. Aluminum legs are the most common and are lightweight and portable, but in cold weather can become difficult to handle. Carbon fiber legs are a more expensive option, but are even lighter and better for cold weather shoots. Tripod heads have a greater impact on the functionality of your tripod kit as some are specialized for certain applications.
Do Tripod Kits Come with a Head?
Yes. Tripod kits are complete tripods that come with legs and a tripod head. Right out of the box, our tripod kits are ready for you to mount your camera and start shooting.
What Are Tripods Used for?
Tripods hold your camera so you don't have to, opening up possibilities as a photographer. Studio photographers use them to hold the same frame so they can avoid having to set up the same shot repeatedly. The stability of tripods also lets you lower your camera?s shutter speed and shoot long exposure photos in low light. Lastly, tripods help hold up heavy gear like telephoto lenses that you may not be able to hold steady enough for sharp images without a tripod.
