Answer 1

Canon Camera Tripod

Answer 2

The tripod mount has been standard for years, well, two types, the "bolt" mount that has been common across film SLR, compact, digital etc.

The only other common mount was the "shoe" style for larger video cameras.



I would expect ANY camera (35mm film/digital) tripod to fit ANY current digital or 35mm camera.

Seems daft to say it's a tripod for a single camera.

- except, for a heavier/larger camera, especially an SLR which may have a more front-heavy lens used with it, then you need a tripod with a bit more substance to it than one that might only be recommended for compacts.



Cheaper tripods won't have a quick release... cheapest I've seen that do is something like the Hama Traveller compact - if it doesn't SAY quick release in the spec, then it probably doesn't have a quick release (where the plate is attached to the camera, and more to the point, an extra plate is attached to a second camera, so you can simply unlatch one from the tripod and latch the other one onto it.

Answer 3

Erial, this tripod already comes with a quick-release head, so you don't need to find one. And as for your main question - yes, it will fit your Canon Rebel and every standard digital or film camera with a tripod socket at the bottom.



Just be aware that this is a basic, inexpensive tripod. Never believe it when an item is labeled "Deluxe" or "Pro".



Here's a basic tripod from a well-established brand (Sunpak) for even a lower price you might want to consider. This one comes with a life-time warranty.

Answer 4

ANY tripod will fit ANY camera, the tripod bush is universal.



Try to get a spare quick-release platform, though, they have a habit of getting lost.



When you buy the tripod - ask if they carry spare platforms. I spent 3 months without a tripod when I lost my first one and now I always carry a spare.

Answer 5

The mount is universal, so the only thing you'd have to worry about is the weight of the camera, if it's a small or lightweight tripod. Try it and see.
