Tripods
Description
A Tripod is absolutely required in order to record a steady image with a video camera.
Teacher's Guide
Be very selective when purchasing a tripod. Understand the difference between a tripod intended
for photography and a tripod intended for use with a video camera. Make sure you test a tripod
before you buy it and verify that it can smoothly pan and tilt as well as provide a stable, sturdy
and level camera platform.
Require students to use a tripod when shooting video with few exceptions if any.
Recommendation for the 2000-2001 Academic Year
Maui Media Lab recommends Bogen tripods.
