Disadvantages of Using a Tripod

....

Tripods are nice and can give you many options to get the highest quality image. However, there are also some disadvantages of using tripods, specifically:

They are potentially heavy. Although there are lightweight carbon-fiber tripods out there, once you add a tripod head, the setup can become heavy.
They are inconvenient. No matter how small and collapsible a tripod is, it still occupies space and is often inconvenient to carry around or travel with.
They are difficult to use in crowded environments.
They can be expensive. Good tripod systems can cost over $1,000.
They can take time to set up, making you miss the best moment.
You can easily damage your camera and lens if you do not know how to properly operate a tripod, or if the tripod system is cheap and unstable.
