Tripods in a Supporting Role (page 3)
Sidebar: Cheap Tricks
Don't put an old tripod out to pasture. Use it as a light stand for guerilla clip-on shop lights and other accessories. Also, use it when traveling or when a high-end tripod is just too heavy. In addition, you can use a lighter, second tripod to lock down a second camera, but be sure to lock it down good when unattended. You don't want the camera to fall off!
Sidebar: Photo/Video
There are few differences between video and photo tripods, but the main difference is in the head. Since there is no movement in still photography, a fluid head is not a necessity. In still photography, a swivel tilt head will achieve the simple vertical and horizontal positioning that you need. In addition, still cameras are generally not as heavy as professional video cameras, so the tripod can be lightweight as well. This makes still photography tripods much easier to lug around.

Unsung Heroes: Camcorder Support Systems
The stars of video production equipment are not tripods, dollies or jibs. That's not their role. They are meant to blend into the background, be sturdy and dependable and never have tantrums on set. Of course, they may be typecast into supporting roles, but replace that sturdy, fluid and dependable friend with a loose lackey, and all of a sudden, everything else doesn't seem to matter.
