My parents had bought a video camera for us to film Christmases and other family events. I took it down to the beach, set up a tripod, and I would grab two other friends, and we'd take turns filming and surfing. Then, at the end of the day, I'd go home and I'd make a video for everybody to watch.

Since my brother died in 1982, my parents and I had formed a shaky tripod of a family; now that I'd lost my father too, it was too easy for me to glimpse a future point where I alone was the keeper of not just my own childhood memories, but of my family lore.

If you're setting up lights and tripods, and you've got three assistants running around, people will want to get you out as fast as they can. But if you go the opposite way, if you make the camera the least important thing in the room, then it's different.

Jonas Mekas

Some cameras are heavier and need to be on tripods. Others are small enough to hide in your pocket. There are places where you don't want to feel like you are disturbing anything, so I may use a camera like that.

At first, when I did everything myself, I'd set up a tripod, film and then press stop. That's why all my shots are on a tripod and don't move, and that's why my videos are still filmed this way.

I freak out when I see a spider. I was doing an interview once, and there was this really big, furry spider crawling up the tripod, and I was like, 'I can't do this!

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.

My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.

A tripod provides stability to prevent shaky images, mainly used with cameras and telescopes.

Stability Usage

'Tripod' suggests a technical and precise setup, often linked to photography and astronomy.

Technical Equipment

Most tripods have adjustable legs to level the device on uneven surfaces.

Adjustable Legs

In furniture, a tripod is often considered less stable than four-legged counterparts.

Furniture Stability

As furniture, tripods can be decorative and add a vintage or artistic touch to a room.

Decorative Piece

When relating to archaeology, a tripod connects to history and ancient uses.

Historical Object

Ancient tripods may hold cultural significance, representing religious or social practices.

 and you're setting it up, putting it on the tripod. I've got the family, spent the better part of a day talking with them. They sort of understand what I'm on about. They think I'm a bit crazy, but that's another story. And what's most important for me is the beauty and the aesthetic,
