Here is one piece of gear I am using in certain situations, that I will explain below! It is the Velbon Carbon Tripod!

Here is the page with the Velbon tripods: http://www.velbon.com/jp/catalog/products.html

And here is the head I am using: http://www.velbon.com/jp/catalog/panhead/qhd63q.html

I will be making other articles like this introducing different equipment, feel free to contact me for any requests!

So to be honest I am not shooting on a tripod quite often since I like to be free when I am in a photoshoot but there are certain situations when it is really required and good to have a good tripod, here are some of them:

1. Shooting slow motion, for example of moving rivers, sea etc, where I am usually having a strobe to freeze my subject

2. Shooting portraits in the stars, in that situation my shutter speed is usually around 30 sec, so it is really needed to have a tripod!

3. Shooting stroboscopic shots for example of dancers

4. When I need to fix my angle and shoot multiple shots with the same composition!

5. When I am shooting my BTS Videos!
