canon digital camera tripod image

Stephanie

I have a pretty decent digital camera, nothing spectacular, but when i have taken the pictures on manual mode with tripod, they still turn out blurry. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance. The camera has 12x optical zoom with equivalent of 36-432 mm)

Answer
Mount to tripod

Zoom all the way out

Place in "Landscape" mode. (or Infinite Focus)

Use Spot Meter mode.

Center moon.

Better hurry, it is about half out of shadow now.

I would like to film vlogs from the dashboard of my car. What would be the best tripod for this purpose?

I currently own a Canon Powershot SD850 digital camera. My car is a sedan. I do not anticipate any off-roading vlogs, so any decent, basic tripod will suffice.

Answer
Stability is an issue with tripods in vehicles.
Even on decent roads, there's a lot of sideways force on corners and acceleration/braking forces.

A windshield mount would be better...

or a stronger version...
