Rent Tripods That Won’t Let You Down. 

Tripods are the foundation of any solid camera setup. But tripods can be very expensive, especially for carbon fiber ones, and you don’t always need one. A good tripod can cost as much as a lens these days! But it’s not every day you want to play Ansel Adams, which would require a sturdy but lightweight tripod to hike into the National Parks with. This is where renting is an ideal solution.

Tripods are a necessity for most landscape photographers but there are so many other types of photography that rely on these three-legged things. Videographers can use as many as 5 types of tripod just to film a wedding. Studio photographers rely on precise tripods to get the precise angle they need. Many filmmakers even use two seperate tripod legs to perform a camera move with a slider. Whatever your needs, BorrowLenses has the tripod for you. Small to large, heavy to light, and even ones with legs that grip or are equipped with ports to hold lights and microphones!
