Selecting a tripod is just not easy. There are hundreds from which you can choose. (I know…I’ve collected more than 200 below.)
To help you sort (literally) through the mounds of tripods available, I’ve created a table of many of the most common models along with their more important specifications.
Though I tried to be as complete and accurate as I could, there are some gaps in the information, and you may find some (hopefully small) errors here and there too. If you have more or better information, let me know so I can update the table.
Note that “n/a” in a table cell can mean “not available” or “not applicable”, depending on the context.
I limited the choice a little bit by not including tripods that cost more than around $500. Yes, there are a few listed that cost more than that. And actually, I didn’t find many more that were over this figure, so you’re not missing out on much with this limitation.
The dollar amount shown is in most cases what the manufacturer suggests as a retail price. Sometimes, the manufacturer discounted that price on their own site. When they did, I used the discounted price. So generally, the price you see should be considered a ballpark figure. The actual sale price will likely be lower.
Certain features, like quick release or Arca-Swiss compatibility, didn’t make the cut as I created this table. If you need to know about such things, you’ll have to check out a tripod individually. You’ll want to do that anyway before making a purchase.
Column Headings
“Min” height (in inches) is the lowest distance above the ground that you can use the tripod. This is mainly significant to macro photographers…which may be most of the visitors to our site.
“Max” height (in inches) is the highest the tripod can extend with the center column (when available) raised all the way up.
“Fold” is the tripod height in inches when closed (folded) or collapsed, as if you were going to put it in a backpack.
The “Ld” (Load) is the maximum weight (in pounds) the tripod can handle, per the manufacturer. Sometimes the manufacturer gives a “recommended” limit, which can be significantly lower than the maximum.
“Sec” (Sections) is how many leg extensions there are. Note that many Velbon tripods have a unique system in which you can extend all the sections at once.
Brand Specifics
Speaking of Velbon, many of their prices were hard to find. Their US distributor (osnusa.com) didn’t have them all listed on their site. (I didn’t look further.) Also, many Velbon “kit” prices do not actually include the head, even though the measurements do. This applies to kits marked with an asterisk (*).
RRS (Really Right Stuff) tripods do come in a carbon fiber model, but the prices started at $500, so I didn’t include them.
Many of the FEISOL tripods have an optional center column. This is another feature you’ll have to check on separately.
I didn’t include every type or style of tripod here. Nor did I include every manufacturer. That said, you will find that some of these tripods do have the option to use a leg as a monopod.
Using the Table
There are over 200 tripods in the table below, but you can only see 100 of them at a time. (Initially, you can only see 50 until you change the amount via the dropdown.) The rest are on additional pages as you will see at the bottom of the initial table.
You can sort the columns by clicking the label at the top. The table is initially sorted by price (“List”) in USD from low to high. Depending on your device, you might have to scroll to the right (or swipe left) to see some of the columns.
I know the column labels (top row) don’t exactly line up with the data below in all cases. This is the best I could do. I think you’ll be able to figure it out.
Enjoy your search (as much as possible) and let me know if you have suggestions for improvement.
