Why do I need a tripod?

One of the best accessories you can get to improve your photography is to invest in a good tripod, actually its more of an assential purchase.

The primary causes of unsatisfactory photos is camera shake. Camera shake is the unwanted movement of camera and lens being caught during the capture of a shot. This translates to blurry photos,often blurry enough to ruin the shot completely. The tripod is instrumental in eliminating camera shake. It provides a very stable platform onto which you can mount your camera, preventing it from moving and spoiling your shots.
