Video cameras tripods

For video cameras

— a distinctive feature of most tripods designed for video cameras is a characteristic long handle attached to the platform. Using such a handle, the operator can simultaneously control the tilt and turn of the camera and quickly change its position — this can be critical when shooting video, when you need to quickly capture various areas of the scene being shot into the frame. However, desktop models (see "Type") may not have a handle. Tripods “only for video cameras” also have an elongated platform, but such a strict specialization is relatively rare, most models for this purpose can also be used with cameras (especially since most modern digital cameras also support video shooting).
