Hi friends, hope the previous posts were contributive...
..My first suggestion is to ensure the ‘SAFETY of Your Camera’, before planning the use of the tripod; there are many cases of full/partial damage of the Camera/Lens, due to careless usage of the tripods.
DOs
DON’Ts
Quick Release Plate* = A small plate (with the thumb screw) which is a detachable part of the tripod; this plate is fixed to the camera and the plate is locked to the tripod.
Dear @PaulPavlinovich, @IrrPavlova @Anonymous, @davidhyno, @TheEagleEye @Vyakhyaedu @MarcoR-SDG @Mainzer, could you all spare few seconds to add value to these posts, please? I specially thank (once again) @Nick-Hobgood & other LGs for thier contributions, in the previous posts.
Note: Currently, the Title, Intro-Photo are matching & distinguishable with the posts? Am I on the right track, dear @AngieYC ???

Hello @TravellerG ! Currently I'm just strolling around Connect and found this useful post. As a beginner DSLR camera user (rarely use tripod), I found your post really helpful. Thanks for writing it thoroughly.
If I'm allowed to give some suggestions, maybe the cover photo can be more natural and simpler (it'll ease you) so reader can easily catch the message, maybe a photo of a camera with a tripod on a set and you write your title there.
Just my 2 cents! 🙂

Oh... Sad to hear that dear @nkwetche ...!
Let it be a LESSON TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO USE TRIPODS..!
==========
IMPORTANT:
==========
If at all you want to carry the Tripod with the Camera (even for a short distance), then LOOSE the Tripod HEAD (so that the camera is free), CARRY THE CAMERA with your right hand with the Tripod pointing towards your front (with left Hand), so that we can see.!

@TravellerG @AbdullahAM @@@Thanks for your comment, the information is useful, today the phone can be used to make a great photo, you should look at the plate of food or simply make a good image of a beautiful panorama. Thank
