HD tripods: now, more than ever, good camera support equipment--be it tripod, monopod, steadicam device, or jib arm set-up--is the foundation for good video.

There is a broad and varied choice among manufacturers in the tripod space. Most videographers can rattle off a dozen names of companies who have viable tripod offerings. Vinten, Sachtler, Manfrotto, Bogen, Gitzo, and OConnor all fall under the Vitec corporate umbrella. Slik and Daiwa are related. Tiffen, Steadicam, and Davis & Sanford are family, too.
The point is to match a tripod's specs with your needs, and not get caught in the name-game comparisons among apparently competing products.
