Instructions
1. Buy a tripod at any electronics store, on the Internet, or at a local discount store. Be sure that the mount is compatible with your camera.
2. Find a good location for the tripod. Depending on the event, you will want to place the tripod where its view is not encumbered and it is away from high-traffic areas where it could be knocked over.
3. Assemble the tripod, per the manufacturer's directions and place your camera on top. Most camcorders will screw to the top of the tripod.
