I have a Sony DCR-SR82 and I want to know if all tripods are universal or if there's a specific kind I need...

Question

I was just looking on craigslist and wanted to make sure that any would work... I think they are universal, but I could be wrong...

Answer 1

The threads are standard on all tripods for video & photo equipment.

Answer 2

Had a bad experience using ordinary heads (top of the tripod that holds the vcam), where  my pan & tilt were not smooth but jerky and the squeaking sounds from the head were also recorded. Eventually changed to fluid heads.
