Free Camera Tripods? Too Good to be True…I think Not!

Get Paid To Submit Photos To The Internet!
Tripods are great for taking still shots without the risk of the shaking factor, caused by shaking hands. Tripods are essential for those shots in low lighting and moving objects. Tripods also help give you a different perspective on the shot that you might have otherwise missed. There are hundreds of different types, sizes, and models of tripods out there, so purchasing one can be a daunting task. Smaller tripods are better suited for portable, smaller cameras that do not weigh as much as a professional camera. Larger tripods are made to support the weight from professional cameras with large lenses.

You can purchase a ball head or pan head tripod, both serving different purposes.
The ball head tripod has a swivel head that loosens up to move the camera in all directions, while the pan head tripod require two adjustments be made every time you want to change the cameras position. Ball head tripods allow for easier movement and adjustment of the camera, but cannot support heavier weights like the pan head can. The pan-tilt head will take longer to adjust, but will support heavier loads, especially if shooting a vertical shot.



Tripods range in price from $15 to $100 for a high end. Luckily, I ran across a special promotion from Accessory Genie, offering a free mini pan-head tripod at absolutely no cost to you! Simply enter the promotion code: “09AGTR10” upon checkout and you will receive a free tripod. This offer is valid until April 4, 2010. This sounds too good to be true and that’s exactly what I thought until I tried it out myself and it actually worked. I appreciate what Accessory Genie is offering during these tough economic times. During these tight times in the economy we are all looking for ways to save money. That is why I wanted to share with you this free camera tripod offer. After reading more I learned that Accessory Genie specializes in aftermarket batteries, battery chargers, AC adapters, GPS units, radar detectors, camera accessories, and much more. So get your free camera tripod and start taking more professional looking pictures before this great deal expires.

Hopefully, this information should help guide you when purchasing a tripod, or getting a free tripod!
