Camera tripods

For cameras

— tripods designed for cameras. This category includes both highly specialized models and designs for other devices (camcorders, telescopes, phones and action cameras), which additionally provide compatibility with cameras. Accordingly, the design features of such a tripod depend on the set of applications. So, tripods "only for cameras" are designed more to hold the camera in one position and are poorly suited for quick turns, however, they are quite high in accuracy and reliability and can have various specific devices — levels (see "Design"), azimuth scales, etc. Models that are also compatible with camcorders hold a constant position worse, but allow you to quickly redirect the lens in different directions. And photo tripods that can work with smartphones are small in size and are mainly compatible with compact “soap” cameras.
