Alternatives to the Tripod

Tripod rentals are a popular choice among photographers and videographers alike. This support mechanism helps keep the camera or camcorder from shaking. However, some artists feel the tripod is not always practical due to its size. If you would still like to add extra stability to your shot, you should consider renting one of these alternatives:

• Monopods: This single-legged support has a little more flexibility than the tripod. However, a monopod does not necessarily give the same stability.
• Clamps: Clamps can be mounted onto poles, window sills, railings and anything you can clamp something on to. This is a good option if you are going to be in one location.
• Rigs: There are shoulder and chest rigs you can use to mount cameras directly to your person for added stability. Depending on the size of your equipment, this option may be burdensome.
• Dollies: Some dollies offer mounts for cameras. The dollies typically have wheels or other means of motion, which may help give a unique perspective for your shot.
• Jibs: To give extra movement, some tripods have a jib attachment you can use. This allows you to swing the camera or get different angles as you work.
• Stands: Stands may come in a few different shapes and sizes, but a common stand is the beanbag. This support system is the perfect choice when you need a place to rest your camera.
