Heads:

• The head is the part of the tripod that attaches to the camera and allows it to be aimed. It may be integrated into the tripod, or a separate part. There are generally two different types of heads available

• A ball head utilizes a ball and socket joint to allow movement of all axes of rotation from a single point. Some ball heads also have a separate panoramic rotation axis on the base of the head. The head has two main parts, the ball, which attaches to the camera and the socket, which attaches to the tripod. The camera is attached to the ball via quick release plate, or a simple 1/4"-20 screw. The socket is where the ball rotates in, and also contains the controls for locking the ball. The socket has a slot on the side, to allow the camera to be rotated to the portrait orientation. Ball heads come in varying styles of complexity. Some have only one control for both ball and pan lock. While others have individual controls for the ball, pan, and also ball friction. Ball heads are used when a free-flow movement of the camera is needed. They are also more stable, and can hold heavier loads, than pan-tilt heads. However, ball heads have the disadvantage that only one control is available to allow or prevent movement of all axes of rotation, so if the camera is tilted on one axis, there may be risk of tilting on the other axes as well. When movement of one, or two axes or rotation is needed, a pan-tilt head is used

• The pan-tilt head has separate axes and controls for tilting and panning, so that a certain axis can be controlled without risk of affecting the other axes. These heads come in two types, 2-way and 3-way. 2-way heads have 2 axes and controls, one for panoramic rotation, and one for front tilt. 3-way heads have 3 axes and controls, one for panoramic rotation, front tilt, and lateral tilt. The controls on these heads, are usually handles that can be turned, to loosen or tighten the certain axis. This allows movement in one, a few, or none of the axes. When movement of all axes of rotation is needed, a ball head is used. There are some pan-tilt heads that use gears, for precision control of each axis. This is helpful for some types of photography, such as macro photography

• Other head types include the gimbal head, fluid head, gear head, alt-azimuth, and equatorial heads. Fluid heads and gear heads move very smoothly, avoiding the jerkiness caused by the stick-slip effect found in other types of tripod head. Gimbal heads are single-axis heads used in order to allow a balanced movement for camera and lenses. This proves useful in wildlife photography as well as in any other case where very long and heavy telephoto lenses are adopted: a gimbal head rotates a lens around its center of gravity, thus allowing for easy and smooth manipulation while tracking moving subjects

Monopod:

• In place of or to supplement a tripod, some photographers use a one-legged telescoping stand called a monopod for convenience in setup and breakdown. A monopod requires the photographer to hold the camera in place, but because the photographer no longer has to support the full weight of the camera, it can provide some of the same stabilization advantages as a tripod

Tripod Options:

• The easiest way to steady the camera is to place it on a tabletop or counter, this will give you a solid, unmoving base so you can keep the shutter open for longer periods of time. If you need something mobile, you can use an ironing board or a saw horse from the shop or garage to steady the camera. Another option is an inexpensive artist's easel that you can use, placing the camera where you would place the painting. A broomstick or mop handle unscrewed from the base can be modified to serve as a monopod. This will not give you the same steadiness as a the above options, and is not a good method for night shots, but it is highly mobile, easy to carry and work with outdoors (if you are taking nature shots, for example) and with care can provide a steady base for shots that are close to the 1/30 of a second range

How to Mount a Camera:

• Take off the mount at the head of the tripod. This will allow you to connect the camera onto the mount much more effectively than if you were to mount the camera on the tripod itself. To do this, pull the release at the head of the tripod, freeing the mount. You can then attach the camera to the detached mount
• Fit the mounting socket, found at the center of the mount, into the hole at the base of your camera. Secure the camera in place either by turning it clockwise to lock it on the mounting socket or by tightening the wheel on the mounting socket, depending on your tripod mount capabilities
• Extend the feet of the tripod to allow it to stand on the floor. It is easier to extend the feet before you place the mount on the tripod. Release the locks on the feet and pull the feet. Lock the joints
• Pull the release and allow the mount to sit on top of the tripod, then let go of the release to lock the mount securely on the tripod. You may want to give the camera a little shake or use the bar to move the camera in different directions
• Turn on the camera and do a test shot. View the resulting picture and check that the frame is straight. Make sure the tripod is level to get a straight picture. Check that the feet are firmly planted to avoid damaging your camera

How to Release a Camera from a Tripod:

With the advent of digital cameras, amateur photography has grown in popularity. Now you can take your own pictures, load them onto your computer, print them out, create your own albums or e-mail them to friends. The possibilities are endless. Even experienced photographers, however, sometimes implement the use of a tripod into their repertoire to ensure a crystal clear photograph. If you have problems releasing your camera from the tripod after use, a few simple steps will solve the problem

• Locate the latch that locks your camera onto the tripod. If you have trouble locating this moving part, consult your owner's manual for assistance. Cameras attach to the tripod via a quick release plate that screws into the bottom of the camera and slots into the tripod head
• Open the latch by pulling it in the direction indicated. Most tripods have words such as "free" and "lock" and arrows indicating the direction to push or pull the lever to attach or release the plate from the tripod. Most tripods require you to pull the lever toward you to release the camera and attached plate
• Tilt the camera forward and lift it off the tripod. Most quick release plates have a front protrusion that slots in to hold them in place once the lever is locked. Jiggling the camera just a bit with the release open will free it and allow you to remove it from the tripod
