We cater for any requirement within our huge range, whether you’re looking for a mini tripod, a light camera support for everyday use, or a tall and heavy piece of studio equipment. We are sure to have the range, competitive prices and the brands to suit any photography or film making styles, including carbon fibre tripods as well as sturdy aluminium models. We also have a wide range of accessories including tripod heads, quick release plates and transport bags.

Tripods systems generally come in variations which include the number of leg sections, the material (carbon fibre or aluminium) as well as different styles of heads. Carbon fibre tends to be lighter and more portable, with extreme rigidity, whilst aluminium offers a cost-effective yet durable solution. If you plan to travel, look for shorter folding lengths and lightweight materials. For extra rigidity choose a system with fewer leg sections and a wider spread. Quick locking mechanisms and accessories all play a part in choosing the perfect solution, along with height, which is a consideration for some photographers, and affects having a centre column or column-free design.

No matter what type of camera and lens combination you own, you’ll find your perfect option with us, from leading brands including Manfrotto, Gitzo, 3 Legged Thing, Benro and Joby GorillPod.

Videographers and film makers often choose to purchase video-specific models, which include even more stable video tripods and video heads, which provide a fluid action suited to movie recording. Camera sliders are also increasingly popular as photographers shoot time lapses and other content.

Many models are on display at our Central London store, or our showroom in Burgess Hill, where our expert staff will be able to talk you through your purchase. You can also browse for second hand tripods online and in-store, as well as viewing a selection of purpose designed tripod bags.
