Photographers may love their tripods, but security guards seem to hate them. Sooner or later, you may have some encounters with the tripod police.

In this episode, I'll recount some of my encounters with the tripod police and what I've learned as a result. It's not all bad news, and some of my experiences may help you prevent problems if you ever run into an overzealous security guard.

PHOTO FLUNKY:  Episode 13

 

I’m your host, William Beem. Welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, Episode number thirteen.

 

Today we’re going to be talking about my encounters with the Tripod Police.  Stick around!

Tripod Police.  What are we talking about?  Generally speaking, there are no police officers that are out there looking for your tripod.  Unfortunately there are security guards that are out there looking for your tripod.  This seems to be a mortal sin for some folks.  I don’t know why; I don’t get it.  Particularly at places where there are a lot of tourists and there is a lot of photography going on and there are a lot of tripods around, if you’ve got the right combination and you catch somebody’s eye, they’re going to approach you.

 

Let me go back to 2010.
