Tripod is a portable three-legged frame or stand, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of some other object. A tripod is a three-legged stand designed to support a camera. Cameras are mounted to a tripod, also referred to as sticks for stability. Tripods utilize a fluid head. This also allows the camera to pan left and right or tilt up and down.

Tripod will let you take better photos when there is not much light available. In these situations, without a tripod, your camera will compensate for the lack of light by reducing the shutter speed and increasing the iso speed which will likely result in a blurry and/or grainy photo if you are holding your camera.
