Using a Compact Digital Camera and Tripod?
This may sound like a stupid question, but how exactly do you use a Compact Digital Camera with a Tripod? I mean, how do you get the shutter to release itself?
Thanks.
Self timer on camera or a remote control - more common on Dig Video Cameras.
If this is an important feature - make sure it's a feature of your buying choice.
Also - make sure you get a decent tripod - some are very good - some are poor. Lightweight, adjustable, folds away, adaptable feet and able to take the weight of your camera/vid cam.
And expensive doesn't mean good ! !

Investing in Video Camera Tripods
Video camera tripods are a great thing to invest in, as they will greatly increase the quality of your shot. In more ways than one, you can easily make a steady shot, increase the focus on the camera, and minimize the amount of shaking and feedback that might result from a hand held camera. Video camera tripods are helpful in making it possible to also record a shot without having to personally stand with the camera. In some cases, you can even find video camera tripods that attach to a remote where you can control the camera while still being in the shot.
The best thing about video camera tripods is that you will be able to make a better looking video. Whether you are shooting a professional snowboarding shot or trying to make a memorable wedding video, you want to make sure that the shot is steady and easily recordable. If possible, you can have someone standing with the video camera tripods watching the video making sure that the shot comes out how it is supposed to.
One thing you might look for when looking for video camera tripods is for one that allows the camera to come on and off easily and quickly. This will make it more convenient to make a high quality video without having to edit much afterwards. There are many different types of video camera tripods that can adjust and be manipulated in different ways to make it easier to use.
Something important to note is that you have to have a certain type of tripod adaptor or attachment that allows the camera to mount onto the stand. It is possible to get video camera tripods that work for any type of camera. If there is a problem, there are some accessories that will make it possible to attach the camera to the video camera tripods.
