The Tripod Stand
A tripod stand is great for those of us who may not always have a steady hand. We purchased a tripod stand that could work if we were sitting or standing. On windy days, it's better to have the tripod placed at a lower level. The stand can be quite unsteady when it it fully extended.
The Selfie Stick
Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would purchase a selfie stick. Well in online business it's a good tool to have. When you get comfortable behind a camera .... (with practice you will) .... it's helpful to carry a selfie stick for when the mood to film a video strikes you! If you're like us, you will begin to see the world differently. We became much for aware of our surroundings.
