During my review of the Manfrotto BeFree Compact Travel Aluminum Alloy Tripod, I started to wonder more and more why photographers actually need tripods these days. I mean, just think about it: cameras and lenses have image stabilization in them these days.

Why would I really need a tripod today if I wasn't shooting video? Well, landscape photographers have had the answer for years. Tripods like the Manfrotto BeFree Compact Travel Aluminum Alloy Tripod are fantastic compositional tools in the same way that manual focus lenses force you to put more time into the image making process itself. They force you to think in a different way and really work to get what's important to you. It may mean moving back and forth, adjustments, etc. But otherwise, you're not fully inclined or forced to really make those movements unless you have a specific goal in mind. And a tripod like the Manfrotto BeFree Compact Travel Aluminum Alloy Tripod can surely help with this due to its light weight and awesome build quality. . thephoblographer.com
