3 Reasons Why You Need a Tripod for Vlogging

Do you need a tripod to become a video blogger on YouTube, especially if you currently film with a smartphone? Or is it just a waste of time and money? If you’re a beginner vlogger, you probably think that such gadget is not worth buying, especially for someone who is not a professional camera person.

Actually, there are a lot of things to know about making videos for YouTube, especially if it is a professionally made content. Believe it or not, but beginner bloggers are recommended to have tripods for smartphones if they know nothing about making videos but want to create a magnificent photography content. In that way, it is reasonable to make such purchase in order to achieve better results.

A tripod is one of the ways to add more color, contrast, and sharpness to a video. How? By allowing you to get your hands off the camera.

3 Main Reasons to Get a Tripod

It doesn’t matter what budget you have. You can always find a tripod that perfectly fits the requirements. If you film for a video blog with an iPhone, search for a mini version, which you can bring with you while traveling for long distances. If you film with high-end equipment at home, get a standard-size tripod instead of using a pile of books.

In other words, explore better photography by using a tripod only. How? Why? Let’s have a look at the benefits of a tripod.

 

  • Helps with low light. If you think a flash is all you need when it is not enough light, you’re wrong. You need a tripod. Especially it works well if you are a travel blogger and want to shoot an entire city from the highest point in the evening or night. A tripod allows shooting with long exposures. It keeps the camera from moving or shaking all the time.

 

  • Stability. This is the number one reason for getting a tripod. Probably, you don’t have a video making experience at all. To avoid shaking arms and legs while filming, get a tripod, even if you film with an iPhone. Don’t ruin your masterpiece by having a blurred or shaking picture.
  • Helps with HDR technology. If you want to capture beautiful episodes while traveling, you need a tripod. HDR is probably not the first thing you have to know about as a beginner. But if you care about the picture, you can definitely use it. HDR helps to reproduce the higher range of luminance than it is possible with a flash only. In other words, to show picturesque views in a better way, get a tripod.

 

 

A tripod is about the quality of the videos. So, get one and create a qualitative content with a perfect sound and picture. And don’t forget to bring it with you on the next trip for the moments where flash just can’t help you out. Creating professional content becomes easier even for amateurs.
