Photo Tripod
Can I use a tripod for a point and shoot camera for my SLR?
I bought a tripod on EBAY and it says that it is specifically made for a point and shoot. I bought it as time was running out and the price was good. Will this work for my SLR?
I know that you get what you pay for, but for my first tripod I wanted a cheap one that will still do the trick.
ALSO, do all cameras fit all tripods? This one said that it fits all Olympus cameras and I have a Canon.
I bought it as I was under the impresison that all modern tripods fit all modern equipment and work for all modern equipment.
Here is a link to the same one as I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/54-PHOTO-TRIPOD-for-ALL-OLYMPUS-STYLUS-DIGITAL-CAMERA_W0QQitemZ220557345056QQcategoryZ30094QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D10%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7875388799220323583
That tripod will work with a DSLR as well as a P&S. Cameras use a universal 1/4″ thread for tripods and such. That tripod is very similar to what I use (being a 54″ tripod).
It becomes bit tricky when you get table top tripod or travel tripods (the ones that fold real small). These are usually not strong enough for a larger camera like a DSLR.
