Tripods are necessary if you are shooting at low ISOs and long shutter speeds. Your camera needs to remain as still as possible.

Benro Mach3 TMA38CL

Amazing tripod. Excellent for Astrophotography and holding a star tracker. Super stable and for its size super light with its carbon fibre frame. Too heavy for hill-walking though.

***** - Pro level sturdy stable tripod

Benro Slim CF Tripod


Much smaller and lighter than it’s big brother. I use this primarily for hiking as it is more portable and even though it’s smaller and lighter it is still got that excellent Benro quality and is super stable.

***** - A great travel tripod
