A tripod is a boon when it comes to photographing with heavy lenses, in low light, or even otherwise for a steady image in still-life and motion photography. Tripods are usually made of aluminium, carbon fibre, steel, wood or plastic. A ballhead is very useful to a photographer who wants better control and more stability from his tripod. Monopods also help in steadying the camera to take pictures at slower shutter speeds or longer focal lengths, but cannot stand without a support. These accessories should be bought after analysing your individual needs, such as height and weight of the monopod or tripod.
